i just want to share my happiness right now, i just came from my ultra sound and im glad to see that my baby is fine inspite of all troubles and problem since her father left us. though i wanted to have a boy coz i was thinking that its better to have a boy specially if he doesnt have a father so he will grow up strong and independent coz im scared if its a girl and yet theres no father as i know i cant just take care of her alone, besides i dont want her to get pregnant earlyhappy or other guy will ruined her same as what happened to me coz i know its really painful.

But since god gave me a girl then its alright, i just wish she will be healthy and smart enough to choose whatever decision she might have in the future. I know some women are weak when it comes to love as most of the time we are the one who victimize with the guy's promises and we are the one who got pregnant though lucky if the guy is responsible enough to accept his responsibility but what if not. I dont want her to be in my position right now thats why im scared to have a girl. anyway i just hope god will guide her.

First off, congratulations on you having a baby. I'm pregnant as well, and I'm almost due. happy

Know what, its that guys lost for leaving you and your baby. But think of it this way, you have a wonderful blessing given to you, and I do understand why your scared of having a girl cause of what you've been through. But hey, your there to guide her so I'm sure your little girl will be okay.

Again, congratulations! And good luck. happy

Whether it's a girl or a boy, your child will grow up as you teach it. If you teach her to be strong, and she doesn't need a man/partner to feel whole, she will take those lessons with her when she's older. I was raised by a single mother, and I came out allright :) It made me realise a few things, one of them being that I don't need a man, it's just nice to have one around ;) congratulations with your baby.

Have a great daythumbup


myLot reputation of 84/100. homeshoppers (4686)   ranked 1,389 out of 32,957 in life  2 years ago

yes thank you, i just hope i can teach her and show her the good way as im also a single mother alone with all the problem in my head so im scared if i really can guide her alone. Its my first baby and i never had any responsibility before even to my family coz im the youngest and normally i can get whatever i want, im just scared if i can be a good mother and if i can give her all things that can make her happy since she doesnt have a father. i know i will going to learn a lot in the future though right now im just scared. ill just lift it all to god.


myLot reputation of 95/100. bieke81 (652)   ranked 6,686 out of 32,957 in life  2 years ago

It's normal to be afraid, but you still have a few months to get your life on track, as we say. Look forward, not back and find the strenght in yourself to teach her what you want to teach her. Believe me, it's there, you just don't know it (yet).

Have a great daythumbup

Exactly!! I was a single mother and both my son and daughter have become amazing, strong, independant, loving young adults..because thats how I taught them and raised them...

Regardless of what many think..a child DOES NOT NEED both parents to grow up happy and successful..what they DO need is positive, loving role models in their lives..


myLot reputation of 84/100. homeshoppers (4686)   ranked 1,389 out of 32,957 in life  2 years ago

yes i might not know coz i dont know how to start yet but maybe if i already saw the baby everything will change and perhaps i will become a strong woman and a strong mother too.

its better to have a boy specially if he doesnt have a father so he will grow up strong and independent

Having a father in a childs life does NOT necessarily make him/her strong nor weak..its all in how you raise that child..I was a single mother of two and both my son and daughter are strong, compassionate ppl (they're teens now) becuase THATS HOW I RAISED THEM...

yet theres no father as i know i cant just take care of her alone, besides i dont want her to get pregnant early or other guy will ruined her same as what happened to me

You CAN take care of her alone and you WILL because as a parent ITS YOUR JOB AND RESPONSIBILITY! You are bringing this child into the world, that was YOUR choice so you MUST take care of her regardless of whether or not the father is in her life...and as for being "ruined"...are you really? Do you REALLY think you are ruined becuse you got pregnant young??? You need to get htat mindset out of your head seriously....You arent ruined unless you CHOOSE TO BE..so just dont choose to be..


myLot reputation of 84/100. homeshoppers (4686)   ranked 1,389 out of 32,957 in life  2 years ago

oh sorry with the words ruin, i just felt that way when he left me as during that time i felt like he left me hanging as i dont have job so i was thinking that time of where to get money, frankly speaking, the money i used for my prenatal check up and prenatal vitamins, including the money i pay for my ultra sound is actually coming from my earnings online thats why im so thankful to have my online earnings as it helps a lot though so sad coz some are scam.

anyway, i felt so ruined that time as like ive said as i dont know where to go since i have no money and i really felt that he totally smashed me to the ground leaving nothing for me. though i thank my sister nor family for helping me even though they already have their own family but then they cant give me money coz i know they have their own expenses too, so i only live with them for free lodging, free food and free electricity but all in all im still the one whose trying to look for money to support me and my baby's need. if looking at what my life before as compare to now i really felt that i was totally ruined and im just starting to pick up the pieces one by one to start a new.

Awww thats really sweet, and congratulations to you!! I just want to say though that I think that no matter what gender your child is, as long as you bring it up the way you want, and teach it right from wrong, you will be fine... I have 2 boys, and although I bring them up as a single mum, the father is not really around, so I have to try and teach them wrong from right, and it is hard work sometimes... I think that you are actually blessed to have a little girl, because having 2 boys, I can actually see that a father around them would be better for boys, i think they need that male presence in their lives. As your having a girl, and with no father around, your daughter will be a Mummy's girl anyway, and you will soon see that in time. You have nothing to worry about, and you will be fine bringing up your daughter on your own.

First, congratulation!
You know some one says that the moment that a woman are having a baby is the most beautiful moment in her life. So just enjoy the time.
It's really a hard time when you get pregnant and the baby's father is not around. I've been in that period, too. But I came over it.
Just try to enjoy every moment.
It will be really memorable.


myLot reputation of 84/100. homeshoppers (4686)   ranked 1,389 out of 32,957 in life  2 years ago

yes your right, its my first time to be a mother so i guess i need to just enjoy the moment than think of any worry. besides i know god will not let this happened to me if he knows i cant get it through, and i know im not the only person whose with this situation though i wished to have a boy but having a girl is not really bad as maybe god have other reason why she gave her to me.

The reasons why you are scared to have a girl would be valid even if a father was there…we women are naturally prone to this risk while men can walk away free whenever they want for whatever reason. Men have even molded society and framed the laws to protect themselves and make women feel guilty about something which was definitely a 50-50 thing.
However, being a mother, I feel you’ll bond better with you daughter when she comes of age. If you don’t find another partner, then obviously she will grow up seeing you struggling alone and you can take it up from there and make her understand the difficulties of early / single pregnancy. If you are able to build that special bond, then I don’t think you’d need to worry about her. Boys are more difficult to manage and specially in their teens, there has to be a strong male presence in the house to mould a boy properly…in that way, its good you’re going to have a girl.


myLot reputation of 84/100. homeshoppers (4686)   ranked 1,389 out of 32,957 in life  2 years ago

yes i guess your right, women are really prone to risk when it comes to love whether the father is around or not as it really depends to them, and i guess its alright to have a girl since im also a woman so i can tell her what a woman must be and must not be as ive been there already. since i can relate to her and she can relate to me. though i really dont know if i can give her enough time as i might going to be busy with work since i will be the one supporting us, i just wished i can. though good thing is that girls can easily bond each other so maybe we will. im already excited to see her now and i cant wait to start a life with her.


ellepor (20)   ranked 22,619 out of 32,957 in life  2 years ago

congratulations! i wish for you and your baby's future.. =)

well., almost all the advices are give to you.. for me, don't be scared of having a baby girl.. think of it as a blessing from GOD.. think of it as an OPPORTUNITY to raise a girl whom you have wanted you to be.. (i'm not sure if my grammar is right.. LOL) as she grows, it will be a very good feeling seeing your daughter heading to the path you have always wanted to reach when you were still not pregnant with her..
and if it's a boy, i can visualize him, protecting you, being a father to his own siblings and being strong for you..

children are angels sent to us.. don't think being a single mom is a burden, if you are busy with your work, think of her/him as a pain reliever and stress remover..=)
