in September 2025 Babies 🇺🇸

19 weeks pregnant and just released from jail

i don't even know where to start or how to word this. i got into a fight with the father of my child leading to me being in custody for 3 days. i don't live with him anymore or speak to him. i'm not sure where im going to be living within the next couple days. i can't even put into words how heavy my heart is and how bad im hurting. i'm trying so hard to be okay mentally for the sake of my unborn baby but i'm so incredibly sad and i miss him so freaking much. i know my situation is uncommon but does anyone have any advice or resources?? i feel like my world is falling apart.

Show your support

Keep your head up. I'm so sorry/:

Feel free to message me if you need to vent

so sorry :( i have kind of been in that situation. you can message me if you want!

call 211 and Maggie’s place. tell the man if you have to that you lost the baby and cut contact and any shared friends.

I would join local groups & see what resources are there for you to find a shelter that you can stay at for awhile. My step son's mom stays at rescue mission in Tustin CA. She's been there for over 2 years and loves it. Just recently they let her get a job & she's paying them rent etc. but before that she was just working on herself I think. Anyways there are extended shelters like this one that'll really help you so I would find something like that.

Other advice would be to apply for WIC, free state insurance, and food stamps asap. And ask the local groups about food distributions at churches etc

You have a few months to get it together. You can do this but you need to start now. Stay strong! Also the dad has a right to know about his child. So please don't tell him you've lost the baby.
