Not sure why she deleted it this weekend but N. was looking for some encouragement because she will/is facing life as a scared single mom (for those that are asking what this post means)

Can your mom or anyone take sometime off to take care of you and the baby while you recover. Do you have a church you go to? Maybe some members could come by and help with things for a few weeks. I would be happy to bring you a meal and help you clean up one day if you need. My sister is a single mom so I don't have all the answers but I know you need a support system and you need help. You can't do it all by yourself. Try to surround yourself with family or friends who can help you here or there. Also find a good drop in day care and don't feel guilty about leaving your children there a couple hours here and there to get a little break and some down time. Hope that helps. I am sorry and I don't know how single parents do it either! I know a lot of really great ones though.

Hi N., I am a mommy to 3 girls aged 12,15,16 and I'm 33 yrs old. I was a teen mom and a single mom for many years. I too went straight from living at home to having babies, I had never been on my own either. I want to encourage you..somehow we women find the strength to move forward and do the best we can do for our babies. Yes it will be a lot of work but I hope you don't feel I am preaching to you...I am not. I will just share what got me through. Quite frankly and honestly. It was God. Since before I even left my ex husband I prayed. Everyday and all the time. I prayed that God would help me and protect my girls. I prayed that He would make a way when sometimes there seemed no way. When I was with my ex we were paycheck to paycheck and I knew I couldn't make ends meet with just one income (he never payed child support) but God made a way. I was always able to pay my bills, provide for my girls, and eventually even bought a townhome by myself. I raised my girls going to sunday school and made good supportive friends at church. I had my mom help me pick up my girls during emergencies or if I couldn't get out of work on time etc. Just take it day by day. Honestly looking back I don't know how I did it...I see some moms struggle with just 1 baby but not it is all sooooo worth it. I couldn't have sweeter, nicer, well behaved young ladies. They are my pride and joy. We are soooo close and I wouldn't want it any other way. Girlfriend you are not alone. Others have gone through what you are going through and you will be fine. Sometimes life throws us some curveballs . I never thought I would be a single mom but it happened. Now I am married to my second husband. I adore him. He adores me and my girls. He is my very best friend and we get along so great. Everyday is a joy with him. God can make beauty out of ashes. Just remember that. I am living proof. You can write to me any time.
