Girl, im a single pregnant 23 year old and I understand the feeling of uncertainty and anxiousness. Also, don’t be hard on yourself girl. You are going to be a great mother. You are more than anything you have ever done that may have not been your brightest moments. I come from a lot of baggage myself and regrets, but I also know I’m going to have a beautiful daughter in September. Your baby is the light that came from the bad situation. You are not defined by ur past. And I’m always here if you wanna talk. I would love to be your friend and support you.

Yeah women with kids are not for everyone but that doesn’t mean there is no one. My cousin met a girl who was pregnant and he has raised the baby as his own she’s a teenager now. She doesn’t even know he’s not her real dad. The right man will be out there so there’s no reason to settle for less ❤️. Your life might not be going the way you might of planned but I do think everything happens for a reason. I wish I had my baby a lot younger my sister was 16 when she had my niece and she handled it all so much better than me

Your life isn’t ruined. It’ll just be different. There’s definitely some truth in what you’re saying, single mums are stigmatised and it’s more difficult to date for sure, but men will date you. You won’t be single forever. And you’ll love your child more than any man, and your child will love you more than any man ever could.
I’m a single mum, and I really enjoy it. My life was a pile of shit before I had my kid, but she gives me so much purpose and it’s so beautiful watching her grow up. But when I was pregnant, I felt scared and worried and similar things to you, like I’d really fucked up. Feelings always change, try to keep hold of that.

Aw girl, before you worry about any man in your life just know when that baby comes he’ll show you the realist purest love you’ll ever feel. It seems scary because it’s the unknown but no doubt when he’s here you’ll learn that his love is the most important and any man that you then ALLOW into your life and introduce to your son should be honoured to have that chance. Accidents happen it doesn’t at all make you a disgusting person, you’ll have fun but it will be a different kind of fun for sure! It’s easier to say when you’re not there yet but give yourself grace. Time heals and I hope you feel that soon 🫶🏼

Im sorry your feeling like this,
But to say no one will ever love you and your babyb is just not true, my stepdad met my mum with 4 of us and he took us all on.
With regards to not knowing whonthe father is can actually be a blessing, i have 2 baby dads (yep i failed twice) and my sons dad is an abusive P.O.S.. i would love him not to be in our lives.
Trust me tour life is not ruined its just a path your about to take and you will find your way.
Feel free to message me if you want to vent or chat :).
YOU GOT THIS!

Someone will love you. Love yourself and your child first. 22 is still very much towards the beginning of your life. There’s so much more to come but for now focus your energy onto yourself and your baby and the rest will follow.
