Whether or not you are trying to get pregnant you may wonder if you have symptoms of pregnancy and wonder if you have read them right. If you are trying to get pregnant then you may be much more likely to notice certain symptoms because you are actually looking for them, and even if you have those symptoms a lot of the time they may not be related to pregnancy so it is really difficult to tell if you are pregnant or not. Having said that, symptom spotting maybe be the best way to have an idea if you are pregnant or not if it is too early to do a pregnancy test.

Being single can be a great experience, but being pregnant and single can be overwhelming. I am almost 17 weeks pregnant, single, and only make a part time minimum wage. I will not have any income coming in during my maternity leave, but I want to spend as much time with my baby as I can. Even though I tend to worry from time to time, I have learned a few things about financially preparing for maternity leave when single.

This is my look at pregnancy from the view point of a the father to be. It chronicles my experiences and lessons learned along this amazing journey. I hope to have others comment and share experiences and information with me along the trip.
