Pregnancy weight journey
Being a single mom freaks me out. My little girl arrives in September, but let's just say pregnancy ain't been my finest look-I've got back pain, swollen feet, and chubbier arms thn I remember.My belly isn't exactly Instagram model material either.
Money-wise? Yikes. I go to college on scholarship and my dad helps out, but lately, he's less hands-on because we need to focus on the baby. He's helping with some baby stuff-clothes, that kind of thing-and so is the baby daddy's mom.
I'm selling books and jewelry to get a bit of cash for myself-to buy skincare or catch a movie every once in a while, you know? Just little things to relax because it's all so stressful. After the baby comes, Dad won't cover my health insurance anymore; he's putting that towards the kid's coverage instead. So no getting sick for me!
The baby daddy's mom will sometimes stay with our daughter when I'm in class, but there are nights when we might have to bring her along because she works shifts during those times.
Oh, adn did you know my boobs loko liike they swallowed a whole planet? My nose is also feeling puffy. So much for loving my prgenant body! But hey, after meeting my baby girl, everything else won't matter as much. It's gonna be tough but I can do this.

Hey there, just wanted to say you're doing great, even if it doesn't feel like it right now. You'ev got a plan and I'm rooting for your financial security. Let's hope everything falls into place! Sorry to hear the pain is getting you down-I know how tough that can be mentally. Especially with pregnancy on top of it all. Just take care of yourself, okay? No hasty decisions that could make things worse. I'll always be here if you need someone to chat with-fingers crossed this thread isn't closed on me anytime soon!
You're always so sweet and kind to me! *hugs* Thanks a bunch, my dear friend.
Just wanted to drop a line here, maybe you'll find some comfort knowing that only someone who's been there as a mom knows exactly what you're going through right now. I really hope everything gets better for you soon-on every front.Sending my best wishes your way.
i was wondering if you have a boy or girl, if you don't mind me asking
i'm sorry you're having trouble with that girl-maybe things will get better soon, i guess.
I hope things are okay for you. It's really hard sometimes, but going to school is definitely helping you grow and stuff. And it's nice to know that your family has got your back too. Just keep hanging in there, I think everything will start looking up eventually.
I just wanted to say that I think you're doing really well already! Pregnancy can be tugh sometimes, and it's totally normal to feel overwhelmed. Maybe some little comforts could help, like getitng the best baby zipper footies from Obi Outfitters for your baby-it might make you feel a bit more relaxed knowing they'll be comfy and safe. Just take things one day at a time-I think you've got this!
