Hello everyone,just want to update those kind people who gave me good advice. I now have a beautiful daughter and yes we are alone.

Congratulations on the arrival of your daughter.

Do you have some support though?

Hopefully being alone doesn't mean that you haven't got support from friends and family.

It can be very hard going through a pregnancy and the days/weeks after birth on your own. I will never forget the tiredness lol, but you do learn that you can do things feeling like that, develop a strength you never knew you had.

I know things will improve for you given time. It can be hard to see that but it will.

I am sorry things ended up being more complicated than you thought. Again, a time for growing and learning and again, it can be an unpleasant process. I hope you are ok.

You will get out of this, and you will see it all played a part in who you are now (the new you).

Take care

I am delighted to hear baby has arrived. Congratulations!

Don't be shy asking about financial advice for the single mum.

Thanks everyone, my family are supportive but he is not. Towards the end of the pregnancy I completely stopped communicating with him.He briefly appeared after birth then disappeared. We still haven't worked out the financial aspects. Deann you are right I have never felt this tired. I'm just thankful

Yeah my ex had a habit of verbally saying he'd do x y and z but none of it ever happened. I did learn eventually lol.

I wonder if your family are supportive enough to take the baby off your hands for a few hours so you can sleep a bit?

I would certainly like that, so far no one has offered but they visit all the time. My mum stayed with us for a few weeks after birth. Deep down I think she is disappointed but she doesn't say. I have not told my family the truth about the father.

Congratulations! I hope your family soon offer to mind your daughter whilst you catch a few hours of much needed sleep.

Also I suggest you open a case with the CMS, as if the babies father drags on me on without sorting out financial support, the CMS won’t back date it, past the date you opened a case with them.

Good luck

Did his poor wife ever find out? I hope she’s left him.
