	1st time Mommy-to-be Nov 22, 2008
Hi.well lets c where to start. Ok . hi my name is Fallon. Im a recently single 25 yr old mommy to be. Im right at 13wks and didnt relize i was prgnant untill i was almost 11 wks along.. Scarey enough that was, Now im going to be a single mommy( sum of us just arent lucky with men i suppose) and im scared to death. Ive got online and went to book stores and well its a lil to overwhelming at al the information on what i need and dont need to do. I'd really appreciate anyone who willing to take the time to help me the basics. Ive gotten my drsin order. taking the recommended prenantal vitamins and all but I'd like to know the more at home things..Like do i need to be doing certain types of excercises and what house hold chores should i try to avoid. And do i need to start reading and playing music to my baby.. i know all of this indo is avaliable online and in books but its just so contradicting and overwhelming so i really would appreciate anyones help!!!

	Fallon, get with your doctor or local hospital and try to find an infant care class, child birth class, and any other classes available. most hospitals offer these and they are very valuable. i knew nothing about children but these classes gave me a great base to start from. the rest you will learn from your child. Good luck!!


	Hi Fallon, my name is Kendra. I am 24 years old and a single mother of 2. #1 is 22 months old and #2 is almost 4 months old. #2 is supposed to be 1 month old on Dec 19th, I was 26 weeks pregnant when he was born. The best advise that I can give is don't let things get to you that you over stress or overwork yourself. My baby has already had a long hard road because I let every little thing get to me while I was pregnant. If I could go back that is the one thing that I would change. I am blessed by my children and can only suggest that you always remember that you are one woman, you cannot do everything that they want, and the only thing for you to think about is what is best for you and that child


	Hi Fallon, my name is Stephanie and I to am a 25 yr old single mommy to be. I am right at 15 weeks and completely understand when you say you are scared. I am freaking out! I just take it one day at a time and although I am lonely and cry all the time I blame it on the hormones because deep down I know this choice is the best thing for me and my baby. The only advise I can give you is do not let anything or anyone stress you out right now. I am in my second trimester and have horrible stress headaches because of the father so I recently cut him out of my life and the headaches seem to be getting better. Women are strong and can handle a lot and I know that my baby and I will be just fine as I'm sure you and yours will be to. If you ever just wanna chat or just need to vent and want someone to listen e-mail me anytime.... women like us need to stick together!! The best of luck, Stephanie & Baby blu_eyz1282@yahoo.com


	HELLO FALLON, MY NAME IS GLINDA I AM 21 YEARS OLD AND I AM ABOUT 8 WEEKS PREGNANT THIS WILL BE MY THIRD CHILD.I ALREADY HAVE TO BOYS.AND TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH ITS BEEN QUITE AN ADVENTURE BUT ITS BEEN GREAT.I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE SAY I AM A LITTLE TO YOUNG TO ALREADY HAVE TWO CHILDREN.BUT IVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 7 YEARS ALREADY SINCE I WAS 15 YEARS OLD.AND THE REASON I STARTED TO HAVE CHILDREN EARLY WAS BECAUSE MY HUSBAND IS ABOUT 5 YEARS OLDER THAN ME. SO WE WERE BOTH READY FOR CHILDREN.ALL I HAVE TO LET YOU KNOW IS TO TAKE IT DAY BY DAY AND EVERY THING WILL GO JUST GREAT FOR YOU.GOD HAS A GREAT PLAN FOR YOU AND YOUR BABY.SO TAKE CARE ALWAYS, GLINDA


	Dear Fallon, Being a single mom can be the most rewarding expierance of your life. It will be trying and hard at times. However when you see your little one's smile it will make your whole day brighter. As far as things to do that can be only beneficial to your baby is yes go ahead and start reading and playing classical music for your little treasure. Try and stay away from caffeine and nicotine. Take walks and you can even go on little jogs. Best of luck to you and Congratulations.


	Thanks so much for all of the support from all of the ladies on here. i really appriciate it it means alot esp wen im not getting an support or well im not getting anything from the father but stress and pure childessness if thats the best term for it..but anyhow i do appreciate all of the support and congrats to all the other moms to be and i hopefully find out on December the 18th or the 22nd what i will be having .( yeah i go weekly bc im a diabetic and they have to keep an extra close eye on me and the baby..) thanks again


	Dear Fallon, After 82 years I have learned a thing or two. Best advice: be aware of "EVERYTHING" you put IN and ON your body. Covering yourself with lotion is great, just be aware of the ingredients. Your skin can absorb chemicals that may not be the best for baby. Best to you dear, Gramma BugPuddles


	congrats!!!!! All i can say is take it one day @ a time. i have been around kids my entire life, but wen its ur own child its way diff, all i can say is make it fun and be patient...if u need anything else, plz email me at hannahsmom0213@yahoo.com. ANYTIME


	Aanda, congratulations on the new baby. Also I know that the thought of being a single mother of 2 is overwhelming right now and very intimidating. You will always be better off trying to be a single parent the best you can than to deal with the physical or mental abuse or even just non compatable habits and routines that you face with another person.There is A LOT of help you can get with school and food while you are a single parent. just do everything you can as a mother and don't forget about yourself b/c you matter too. Good luck!


	Hi, First Time Mommy to be, my name is Travonya Young and I'm also a single first time mommy. I am twenty years old and I'm due March first, when are you due?


	Hi Fallon,my name is Jenna and I just had a little girl on November 4th. I also have a 14 and 13 year olds.( all girls).So needless to say I was very surprised when I found out I was pregnant again . Believe me it is all a little overwhelming but you will learn quickly along with yur baby the things that make them happy and things that they don't like. I also am a single mother and find that this in itself is craziness but you can do it. Let others help you when they can. Make sure that you continue to take your vitamins and go to all your drs appointments. Ask the dr about things that you are concerned with and that may help you thats what they are there for anyway. Be strong and keep your head up girl. The end result is you and your baby and a lifetime of getting to know each other. feel free to ask anything even if you think its something silly thats how you learn. Take care and enjoy your pregnancy.


	I am a single mom, I work third shift, go to nursing school, and sleep two and three hours at a time when the baby does. It is overwhelming at first but you will adjust and you will become a stronger person. Once your baby gets here you will realize that all you need is that child to keep you strong and motivated. Keep your head up and let people help a much as possible!!!! -- Edited by krichardson85 at 11/30/2008 8:43 AM PST


	Hi Fallon, My name is Brittany im 22, im not a first time mother, I have a son that will be 3 the end of May, and right after that i will be having my second child. Its very stressfull for me because they have different dads and its a totally different situation than the first time for me. But Im a single mother and I wouldn't change it for the world. My son is great. You will do just fine. I have my mother and sister who help out a lot since he doesn't see his father much. But im sure you have family support also. I just do my regular activitys, such as work and school, and my son loves music so just enjoy doing the things you love to do why you can. Feel free to ask anything else.


	Hi Fallon. You're going to be just fine. I didn't know i was pregnant until i was in labor. I now have a 3 1/2 month old baby boy. I am a single mom, and we're doing just fine. It does get frustrating at times, but it does even if you're not single. As soon as your baby gets here you'll know exactly what to do.


	me and my daughters father are not together and i dont plan on taken him back this time... i dont know if i can do this on my own.
