I am currently 6months pregnant now but sad to say I haven't got a partner whom I could lean on and help with my pregnancy. Actually, at first, I got so depressed that I almost ended up thinking about commiting suicide. But as the days went on, I learn to appreciate the life that's inside my womb. I still pursued with my work knowing that I could be the only person who could support my baby now since I would be paying for my check-up's, spend for my milk and vitamins as well as with my delivery. But after everything I went through I still thanked God that he has given me the reason to be happy now and to be thankful of having the gift of conceiving a baby boy. I am still striving with work right now but I am very much happy cause for me it's truly rewarding.

Dear Joankath29, I am happy that you were able to overcome your depression on your pregnancy. You should be proud of yourself for being able to face it bravely. Personally, I think that single parents are like superheroes. I know that it is a hard job. I hope you continue your optimism. May you have a wonderful motherhood experience.
