Relationship ending while 26 weeks pregnant

Posting anonymously because I'm absolutely heartbroken and really need some support right now.

I'm 26 weeks pregnant with my first baby, due in February, and I feel like my entire world has just fallen apart.

My partner has been increasingly distant and emotionally withdrawn for months. I've spent so much of my pregnancy feeling unloved, unwanted and alone, despite us still being together, spending weekends together and planning for our baby's arrival.

I finally confronted him about how unhappy I've been, and he's admitted that although he loves me, he deeply misses his previous family life with his ex and their child - their relationship ended 5 years ago. He says he regrets losing that life, has been struggling with his feelings for months and ultimately doesn't believe he can continue our relationship.

I'm completely and utterly devastated. I love this man so much and I genuinely thought we were going to build a beautiful life together with our little boy. Instead, I'm now facing the prospect of becoming a single mum before my baby is even born.

I honestly cannot stop crying. I feel physically sick with heartbreak, and the thought that our son may never experience having both his parents together as a family absolutely destroys me. I feel like I'm grieving the future I'd imagined for us while still trying to come to terms with losing the person I love.

My living situation with family is also incredibly difficult, and I'd been planning to move in with him before the birth, so I feel completely lost about my future too.

I don't even know what advice I'm looking for. I just feel so broken, frightened and desperately sad. Has anyone else experienced heartbreak like this while pregnant? How did you find the strength to get through it? Because right now I genuinely don't know how I'm supposed to.

Currently on antidepressants

So I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression in July this year (2026) and I was prescribed escitalopram 5mg. Then in October, I had a follow-up to see how it was working for me. I noticed that I felt less irritable and wasn’t so angry all the time but my anxiety was still pretty bad and I was feeling very restless. My dr raised my dose to 10mg and that’s what I’m on now. It’s only been 1 month since taking the 10mg and I already have another follow up appointment, BUT I don’t feel much of a difference. Has anyone experienced this and just needed time? I don’t want to bring this up and they raise it again because it’s only been 1 month. I’ve heard it’s hard to get off antidepressants so I’m worried about my dose being too high and getting side effects when I decide to get off of them. I don’t plan on being on them forever. TIA 🫶🏼

Looking for a group or bestie

I’m going through separation from a partner of DV and all of these steps are really getting to me these days. Any other mothers who went through the law system or had to attend certain groups etc please message me we can be friends and supports to one another. All the stress is turning me avoidant.
