hey mummy. im not a single mum, im an unwed mum. even so, i basically have zero support from any side of family. im taking care of my own confinement now and baby, house chores and cooking. its tiring and difficult, no sugar-coating the harsh truth. however when baby comes, youll realized its all gonna worth it. ❤️ find something to do like hanging our with your friends, go for lunch. have tons of rest!after deliver, so difficult to even nap. if youre delivering in kkh: after you delivered, the nurses can refer you to msw (financial help and also will ask if you need emotional/mental help). not sure what they gonna do, but do consult them. doctors there will also ask if you need birth control bla bla bla. just ask them wtv your concerns are. if you feel depressed, do tell them so they can refer you to specialist. dont hide from them bc it can affect you caring for your baby. all those cryings and feedings esp on demand. it will really challenge your limits. stay strong mummy. ❤️

I feel you babe! I was all alone too. My bf left me. My parents being a typical Christian family was so ashamed of me. Every night I cried to sleep, and hoping things will be fine. I just gave birth in nov. still struggling but things will get better! Don’t worry❤️❤️
Thank you my dear. I’m crying almost every night too. I felt so sorry for my baby cause I couldn’t truly be happy. I still have 4.5 months till my Edd. Stay strong mummy! I’m sure your little one will be your pillar of strength. ❤️🙏🏻
Hi mummy, have u tried contacting BABES or any other support groups? I’m a single teen mum with minimal support from family as they’re ashamed n super against my pregnancy, even wanted to kick me out but didn’t, instead they treat me as transparent
Why don’t you join a support group for mums with similar situations so you can learn from them what kind of challenges they faced and talk about your issues?
I feel you too. I am 27 but I’m not sure if I’m ready to be a single mom . Sometimes I just want to abort it .
I do have that thoughts at times. But every single time I’ll feel very guilty for thinking about that. I believe it’s gonna be worth it at the end seeing the little one. It’s just that for now it’s really tough to go through..
I survived. You can too
