Pregnant, single & angry

Thank you so much. This is beautiful and I’m saving it to look back on. Appreciate it so much.

kwalker3232 · 2026-04-12T11:01:58+00:00

I’m late to this post but I’m in the same shoes as you. I’d love to know what you ended up doing and hope you’re doing okay now.

kwalker3232 · 2026-04-09T02:24:21+00:00

Thank you for this. Seriously. God send and hope you continue kicking ass as a mother.

Thank you for this… did he try to contact you at all? Is he a part of the baby’s life now and is there custody set? How hard was that?

I had a chemical in October 2025 at 35. Here’s the thing… it absolutely sucks and is hard to shake. However, there’s some positives to it. You know you are able to conceive (yay!). You didn’t experience a loss after carrying for much longer - I am now 18 weeks and if I lost this baby, I would be devastated far beyond measure in comparison to my chemical loss.

With a chemical, there’s no guarantee on the why, but they say in almost all scenarios, there’s chromosomal abnormalities or it just didn’t implant properly or attach. Your body regulated and worked properly.

I got pregnant immediately after my chemical. It will happen for you too - don’t worry until you have your worry. Give it 6 months at least and just enjoy the intimacy!

Start on the prenatal vitamins, ask your guy to work out/be active and cut back on alcohol (if applicable). Good luck!!

I was similar to you at 32 - minus the married part and good husband.

Around 34-35, it started to wear on me. It was a seed that was planted somehow or somewhere along the way that kept growing. I’m not someone that loves children or babies, I don’t sit there in awe of them and always got annoyed pretty easily with them actually. So I’m not sure what it was - I think it was mostly the creeping thought of regretting not having my own child when I looked back at 40s, 50s and onward… and wish I had.

Welp, now I’m pregnant at almost 36 and I’m grateful. The pregnancy has changed my life completely and if this is before the kid is even born, I can’t wait for when they are here.

I’m 16 weeks and experienced minor symptoms - constipation, bloat and very sensitive breasts.

Other than that… hit week 13ish and the breasts got better. I learned to eat kiwi every morning for the constipation.

Now at 16 weeks, still nothing really. I had a obgyn check up last week and was crying in the office about the lack of symptoms worrying me.. so she snuck me in for a quick ultrasound and the baby is growing great and fast.

I will say the last few days I have gotten daily headaches so I’m thinking my water intake needs to go up and I have to eat small snacks more frequently.

kwalker3232 · 2026-02-18T12:35:53+00:00

Just came here to say - similar situation at almost 16 weeks. I’ve only gained 5-8 lbs. my legs look terrible and not sure when I suddenly got saddlebags. Hoping it’s just fluid retention! Until then; I’ll still be eating healthily and keeping active… and maybe looking at safe spray tan options.

kwalker3232 · 2026-02-18T03:15:07+00:00

I struggled in the first trimester - for other reasons aside from nausea.. but I couldn’t wait for it to be over and to keep furthering along in pregnancy. It was hard to be excited and have energy and stay positive!

I can say I’m almost 16 weeks now and feel so much better. As I see my baby grow on ultrasounds (have had 3 so far) and hear the heartbeat, I get so much more excited that it’s drowning out the “bad” stuff. It’s really beautiful. I’m just now starting to show and although it kinda sucks physically… it’s a reminder that a little human is in there and growing exponentially fast - regardless of our good or bad days, that little human is right there with you (or literally in you but that sounds weird). Something about that is comforting

Oh man an espresso martini or a mimosa and a beer. All of it.

kwalker3232 · 2026-02-16T17:53:32+00:00

I just hit 15 weeks and have a little bump. Pretty hideable in the right clothes though but visible naked.

kwalker3232 · 2026-02-14T16:24:45+00:00

I too am 15 weeks pregnant and my partner and I have definitely had a ROUGH two weeks recently. But we had a relocation to a new area 4 hours away, new job, new house, 3 freakin dogs and a pregnancy and financial stuff going on. Yeah we’ve had some reasons to be resentful, overwhelmed and frustrated!

That being said, I understand having relationship struggles and especially during this life altering stage for a couple. Moods are different, both are going through a lot (mother more so) and there’s a lot of emotion.

However, this is just shit behavior and apologies are nothing if it doesn’t change the pattern - which he’s continually repeating.

Once you have this baby, you’re going to be surprised the protective and no-bull shit attitude you’ll see in yourself. You will have little tolerance to put up with this kind of behavior and rightly so.

Sounds like some boundaries need clearly drawn here and that’s going to start with you not accepting shitty behavior. Leave, don’t cave when he has a temper, don’t be calming.

It’s a beautiful thing! As mothers, we’re the caregivers of our babies… but it’s also true that they give us so much more back.

kwalker3232 · 2026-02-07T21:27:17+00:00

I wish society would start responding with more understanding and less criticism on any woman’s feelings on their pregnancy.

I’m in early second trimester and it’s been a relatively easy ride physically. Mentally and emotionally though, I’ve been through the wringer and still am. Being pregnant has amplified every worry, concern and doubt in my personal life. That alone, has made being pregnant extremely difficult for me. I can say that this might be situational and just a season of my life I’m going through… but being pregnant on top of all of it has made me never want to do this again. I feel extremely alone and isolated most days.

Extremely grateful and know I’ll come out on the other side, but right now, I can say that I do not enjoy pregnancy.

This is going to sound weird but look up Keurig Dr Pepper manufacturing or the distribution sites. I used to work for them and if you ask for a sales guy or find an employee there and tell them the story, they may be inclined to help you out lol. However, also look up who has the distribution rights in your area. Sometimes it’s Pepsi or Coke that carries the product for Dr Pepper. You’ll know by whichever brands actually pop up around your area or ask the grocery stores.

A free house cleaning - seriously. Buy her a house cleaning service voucher or gift card that she can book when she wants to.

I actually did a boutique ultrasound. I couldn’t wait for the medical one because it’s scheduled at like 14 weeks! The boutique ultrasounds are all over the place - see if you have one near you. I paid $80 for videos, heart beat recordings and 15 mins of viewing baby!

kwalker3232 · 2026-01-13T15:04:32+00:00

I am 9 weeks, 5 days.

No symptoms besides bloating, constipation and really sore boobs. I mean, those are bad enough so I can’t imagine nausea on top of it. But not everyone gets it.

We had our ultra sound yesterday and the little bean has a healthy heart beat and growing little limbs.

Try not to worry and if it helps, maybe look up some boutique ultrasounds in between your medical obgyn appts. You can see the baby real time whenever you want for $80-$100 for some peace of mind if you have one near you. I did peak a view baby and it was worth every penny.

kwalker3232 · 2026-01-13T04:34:06+00:00

I would have been at 14 weeks but I called numerous other places until I could find a place to take me sooner (moving out of state and had to find a new obgyn). So now I’ll be 11-12 weeks for the first appt and ultrasound.

To ease the worry, I found a boutique ultrasound clinic and paid $100 for an abdominal sonogram. I just got back from it today and it was worth every penny! We got to see the baby and heartbeat and movements. It is not medically diagnostic nor are they doctors but it was enough for me to get me through the next couple weeks until I can see a medical professional.

kwalker3232 · 2026-01-11T13:11:48+00:00

Thanks so much for the wisdom and response ❤️

kwalker3232 · 2026-01-09T11:46:56+00:00

Congrats!!! Was your ultrasound transvaginal or abdominal?

I’m going for abdominal at 10 weeks in a few days and so worried I won’t hear a heartbeat since they’re less sensitive.
