Pregnant and feeling down and depressed?

Asked by Lothloriengaladriel (1550points) March 27th, 2010

I’m pregnant and just found out yesterday I am having a girl; because of how active she’s been I had an idea I was having boy the entire pregnancy, Although my preference was a girl I feel quite down since finding out because it is likely that I will be a single mother, and the father probably won’t be very involved if at all, I feel bad because I feel like a girl should have a father, and be able to be a daddy’s girl, and have that special connection with her daddy, I also grew up without my father and hated my mother so much for it until I was older and learned why they were not together. I feel as though I cannot provide her with everything she needs, all the love she deserves and a father figure in her life, and I feel guilty and sorry that I’m even doing this to her. Can someone please provide me with some encouraging words?
