You poor thing. I hope he had the decency to take you to the hospital and call whomever needed to be notified. Even if things don't work out, don't let this take away the fact that you just brought a beautiful life into this world. Everything will work out, whether he will be a part of your life or not. Congratulations on motherhood, OP.

Is your ex-boyfriend's name Newt? As hard as this must be, OP, you and the baby are way better off without a jerk like this. Good luck and hold him accountable for child support!!!

OP never said that the boyfriend was the baby daddy. Everyone who said to go after him for child support needs to calm down. If he was the daddy sure, but maybe he was a just a sick perv who liked pregnant women. Maybe he saw the end of his fetish drawing near and tried to get out. The point being OP's boyfriend while sick and twisted may not be a complete dick.

Pretty sure even if he was some strange fetishist rather than the father, this would still make him a dick...actually, I think it would make him more of a dick. It's sad but understandable that a new father would get cold feet, especially if the baby wasn't planned. But serial dating women and dumping them as soom as they're ready to have the baby? Sounds pretty dickish to me.

I have to take issue with calling someone a 'sick fetishist' and 'more of a dick' because they have different sexual tastes than you do. What's next, someone's a 'sick ****' and 'more of a dick' because they don't like pickles on a hamburger? There's a quote often attributed to Sigmund Freud that fits this situation: The only unnatural sex is not having any.

The last few weeks of your pregnancy are not really a time to be making decisions like breakups/marriage etc, as things will be different when you actually have the baby and the new life. As long as he isn't an absolute piece of human filth, I would try to give him a chance, if/when he sincerely asks for one. If he really did want to break up or he's human filth I wouldn't take it too hard, being a single mother isn't a walk in the park but the social stigma is gone for the most part and there is so much support out there for you (financially, legally etc).

What a complete douchebag, hope you're OK OP!

I'm guessing the baby wanted to go with Daddy !!

Congratulations on your baby OP. Enjoy motherhood, and teach your kids the value of relationships. So sorry about your boyfriend.

Grrr, this FML made me so mad and sad for you! I hope you had an easy labor and are too distracted by your new baby to think about his heartless decision...

YDI! Stop procreating without being in a committed relationship! You people are worse than cats at getting knocked up.

I don't see why people are giving this comment thumbs down. It's just the truth. Stop being over sensitive. There are SO many forms of protection nowadays, people only get pregnant if they get stupid. And stupid people shouldn't be having babies anyway.

'People only get pregnant if they get stupid.' Firstly, nice grammar. Secondly, how do you think humanity will survive without procreation? Lastly, it's not her fault for getting pregnant, but the ex's fault for getting her pregnant while he wasn't certain about the relationship. Who knows, maybe she didn't even see it coming.

Whoops, ignore this comment. Feel free to thumb it down.

46- what a rude comment. Keep that kind of ignorance to yourself.

What is wrong with you? You do realize that husbands leave their pregnant/postpartum wives quite often, right? My friend was married for 9 years, happily as far as she knew, and he left her at 8 months pregnant. He told her he had changed his mind about having children, and decided he didn't want to be a father. The stress actually made her go into labor prematurely.

54, People "are thumbing it down", because that comment is stupid. Unless you're sterile, birth control does not give 100% warranty. And even if you're in relationship or married, it doesn't guarantee that your spouse won't suddenly abandon abandon you at the most inconvenient moment possible.

54-- I took my bc pill every single day at 930. I even had my phone set to alarm to make sure it was at the exact same time every day, but I still got pregnant. Unless you have no sex, major reproductive parts removed, or have gone completely through menopause, you still have a chance to become pregnant.

What a cowardly douchebag.

I voted YDI by accident, just putting that out there!

Can someone please explain to me how she deserved it?

sulitak 27

I'm guessing its all the morons with the "wait until marriage" "maybe she was a *****" and other people like that.
