Single mum with a supportive baby father.

0 Replies

I got pregnant after a few dates with a guy I had just met through friends. I found out early but decided I would go ahead with the pregnancy as I wasnt comfortable with the idea of an abortion. When I told the guy I was pregnant, the first thing he said was that it was my choice and although we werent actually together or in the best place to raise a kid, if my decision was to keep it, he would want to be part of the kids life.

We naturally thought that over time we would develop a relationship as we got on so well however we have become more like bestfriends with some but very little chemistry (5months later). I feel like this wont change for us and no matter how much we want to raise our child as a family under one roof, it feels unfair and forced on all of us. I know he is going to be a great father but Im so scared about how we are going to do all of this in just 3months.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? I just want to know how others have coped with raising a newborn outside of a relationship.
