This is my first pregnancy. Among many other things I struggle coming to terms with, my body changing is one of them. I'm scared of getting stretch marks. I've seen them on other girls. and Yes people can say "they are simply tiger stripes, beautiful evidence of motherhood" But I still think they look horribly unappealing. I don't want my belly hanging out under my shirt. I don't want to have a fat face. I already had body issues before becoming pregnant, and I feel like my self esteem will just drop even more when I start gaining more weight. I know carrying around some extra weight seems like the last thing I should be worrying about right now. I just can't help it. I have worries in the back of my head that no guy will want me, and I will no longer be desirable to men. I don't even know how I will even have the time to work out, or exercise with a screaming baby around.

I guess my biggest fear is not having a father around for this baby. So many questions run through my head. How will I even date anymore? Has my sex life/social life gone down the drain at the age of 21? How will I cope as a single mother? Will I be able to get a babysitter every now and then without feeling guilty ? How am I going to survive financially with no child support? How am i going to deal with labour? the pain?
I guess you can't have pregnancy without axienty, and worry for the future.
