Question by <3: scared about being a “single mom” with my first baby..?
my first baby’s due November 4th and on November 10th my husband who’s in the marines is shipping off to Afghanistan for 6+ months. Right now my husband and i live in SC and our families are in Ohio. I plan on moving to ohio twards the end of november as long as i get the ok from my doctor (i want to make sure my son will be healthy enough to move at that time. if he has any health problems i’ll be staying here either until he’s healthy or just not going to ohio at all.)
anyways i’m so scared i won’t be able to do it by myself. i’ll have some help from my mom and mother in law but having a little help throughout the day is much different then having my husband around for the support i need.

please if anybody has any advice about how to stay strong and cope with “single motherhood” please share it with me!

Once your gorgeous little baby is here you will be fine. I think you are worrying too much, yes it may be difficult but plenty of women mange being a single mother all the time. I didnt have my partner with me when i had my son, and i managed. its not as difficult as people like to make out!

in fact, i now have a partner who is fantastic in every way and im pregnant again, but he causes more stress, and arguements over disipline (i think he’s too strict, he thinks i give in too easy) money (i have a week to pay for a pram, yet he spends what he likes on things we dont need!) i’m dreading baby being here and waking him up in the night and having to tiptoe around him (i appreciate that he works and wouldnt want to wake him, but i know he’ll be huffing and puffing when im stomping around at 3am with a crying baby!)

In some ways I quite liked being a single mum! It would be good for you to move closer to your family for your own sake, as it gets a bit boring talking to yourself all day, and it is nice to have a break from baby.

Believe you can do it and you will do great :)

good luck with everything! x
