Coffee Hour: Pregnant Break-Ups
Life is full of ups and down, but it has to suck to be single and pregnant. This doesn't just happen to normal folks, but this problem also effects some of our favorite celebs. Jill Scott and Kelis always appear to be strong confident fab females, but they are victims of the pregnancy break-up/divorce. Jill recently sat down with Essence.com to discuss life as a single mother...
Jill Scott: He was there and for a couple of days afterwards while I stayed in hospital, but John and I are no longer together. When you have a baby you're dealing with a lot of emotions and I don't know how much of it had to do with us breaking up, but it happens. My heart and prayers go out to all single moms because it's tough. I don't understand how any mother does it alone.
Kelis is in a rough battle dealing with Nas. Nas refuses to support his future ex-wife, in any type of way. It's rumored that he cheated on Kelis while she was pregnant. This is the second time Nas has decided to be an absent father. He has a daughter with ex-girlfriend, Carmen Bryan, who wrote a book about her life with Nas.
AllThatsFab.com asked some of our readers what they thought about this topic. Check out what they had to say below:
Jessica K. - "I think that is the cruelest thing a man could ever do to a woman. My child's father left me after our son was born. I probably would have broke down if he left me during the 9 months of carrying his kid."
Antonio O. - "There is not right time to end something. So why should I wait till the baby is born. We should be focusing on the baby and not are personal issues when he/she comes into the world."
Tanisha M. - "You shouldn't be having a child with someone who could so freely be willing to bounce. You can't always blame the man, women are crazy during pregnancy. It's highly disrespectful to get dumped while your pregnant, but I rather you leave now then later so I can piece my life together without you in it."
There isn't a book out there that can help you deal with a break-up while pregnant. Women should always turn to others during this time. No one should have to deal with this on their own. Stress is the worst thing to have during pregnancy, so being around friends and family is always the best bet. Life goes on after any break-up, never forget that. So now fab readers what do you think of this topic? We want you to sound off an let us know how you feel..
