Just to put it out there that alot of pregnant mothers to be are in fact doing it alone. I know I did with DS1 after he left when I told him I was expecting. And I split with Hubby when I was 6 months pregnant with DS2.
I know quite a few mothers who have decided to do it alone. I have always felt quite intimidated by my married friends because they have the traditional 'ideal' set up.
Maybe an article on doing it alone would be a helpful topic (at any age) even ivf as a single woman to fulfill dreams of being a mother.

I know this thread is a bit old, but I think thats a brillant idea! I spilt with my ex at 25 weeks and found the pregancy magazines had all this advice about becoming a family of 3 but would of loved to hear some experiences about becoming a family of just 2!!

I actually got to the stage where I didn't buy pregnancy magazines towards the end of my pregnancy cause i was sick of hearing about the ideal set up!!

would love to see more magazines cover the single parent issues especially women doing pregnancy alone, and women raising children without a partner in the picture!!
