Aa
questions i hate to get asked
1. How many months are you? I don't really know cause they weeks are so confusing STILL! BUT I'm 27 weeks.. Anyone know if I'm 6 or 7 months?
2. How does the father feel? I don't wanna say I hate him cause its not the case but I've def lost all respect for any man who won't take responsibility for his child.
My question.. I'm 30. Is it OK to feel embarrassed about bringing another child in this world and the father that I've been with for 2 years won't even speak to me now? I jus feel like at this age its suppose to b diff and men are suppose to b men and want to b fathers. It hurts that he doesn't want to b part of our daughters life

I'm also 32. I raised my son and went through school as a single mom for 5 years - alone. No family and 1 reliable friend only. Now I'm 12 weeks pregnant. I have a fiance but if I end up alone, trust me - nothing will stop me.
When people ask me, I just smile and tell them the truth because that makes them so uncomfortable that they get embarrassed for asking those questions. Just smile. Never be embarrassed Sometimes people think they know it all when they have no clue. As a single mom I learned to say No to guys who didn't want to build a home and family with me. Only stay with a man who wants you and treasure you. Have same dreams. He will come. Trust me. I went through hell but waited patiently. Good luck

The first question is normal curiosity. Just give them an estimate or tell them in weeks. Questions about dad is invasive. .and he is the one that should be embarrassed about being a DO*CHE BAG and not stepping up to his responsibility
Well the question about the father is EXTREMELY inappropriate. They are assuming alot just by asking the question!!!
That's so rude.
Don't feel obligated to answer every ones questions.
And don't be embarrassed. You are a strong women doing a beautiful thing by bringing a baby into this world.
I have a weeks to months chart in my journal you can reference.
If you still later can't remember just respond with "I'm due ___" that's what i did in the beginning. They would ask how far along i am i would just say the weeks or I'm due november 18th and let them figure it out.
And about the father, some people will never change, that does not shine on your character and don't be disappointed that this boy never grew up.
It looks bad on him and not you.
When people ask about him you could lie and say he's happy then quickly change the subject.
Or you could just not mention it all together and change the subject. They will normally get the hint and not ask again.
For example if they say "what does the father think" just respond "I'm excited and that's all that matters, well i have to go baby is on my bladder" and leave, (well that's what i would do)
The questions that make me very upset (that I've been asked or comments been said are)
Are you dilated yet?
There must be 2 you are huge!
Wow you're about to pop!
I'm only 28 weeks so it p!sses me off

Hey we as woman are hella strong i know it hurts not to have a good man by ur side to be there for ur baby and u, but it might be for the best.all i know is u don't need all that negativity in ur life right now.I have a 2 yr old and Im 17 weeks right now and the bf is with me... But i wish at times he wassent. He is a jerk and makes me feel like crap soo my point is sometimes its better not to have the dad . Better for u better for ur baby
You are 7 months, and girl, keep your head up, in the end it's his loss. Congrats & good luck!
I definitely wouldn't feel embarrassed about your age. I'm 32, divorced (3 children with the ex) and 23 weeks pregnant with my baby girl with my boyfriend. It feels so "HS" to say my boyfriend cause by my age I should be established and all of that. But it happens so I just live my life. That's all we can do. BTW, you're 7 months :)
24 weeks = 6months
28 weeks = 7mths so your 6 almost 7!
Its not your fault the dads being useless and maybe in time he will cop on. Nothing is definite.
Don't feel low in yourself because your doing fantastic and bringing a child into the world. That child will be your best pal. Trust me.
Head up high .
People who look down on people get their karma. What comes around goes around
