10 weeks pregnant and on my own

Hi mums. I am a 42- year old mum, almost 10 weeks pregnant and the father has disappeared. I have a 12- year old since since before and now I’m really worried about telling him about this new baby as it’s gonna impact his life. I have also got a new job (starting Sept baby due in Nov) so I won’t get maternity pay, I am very stressed over money and also sad that the dad has totally checked out. I wonder if there is someone out there that are in a similar situation? I live in Battersea, London.

That's crappy..we could meet for a coffee and talk. My family live in Winstanley Estate. Similar age. Or if you drive we could meet somewhere like Colliers wood?

Oh so sorry to hear you are going through a stressful time. My situation was slightly different but ex checked out too.I have no idea where he is. I can totally relate to how horrible that feels. And how upsetting it is. I'm here too if you ever want to talk!
