So how do you cope with being pregnant and having a broken heart at the same time? Single moms share their secrets:

Be strong! He ran off being scared? Forget him! You can do this!

Avoid worrying about your ex. It's not worth it when it comes to the health of your child and your pregnancy.

Talk to your friends

Get involved in some fun activities or hobbies

Online support groups

Buffy the Vampire Slayer marathons

My mom (once we both decided to stop being stubborn)

Throwing my heart and soul into my job

Pickles

Focusing on the baby and how much I loved him

Increasing my spirituality

Relaxation tracks downloaded onto my iPod (This really helped me settle my brain at night so I could get some sleep.)

Ice cream. Lots of it.

Popcorn doesn't hurt either

Spending time with friends and loved ones

Surround yourself with people you love and who love you and do things that make you happy

I talked about what I felt as much as possible. When I wasn't comfortable talking, or no one would listen I blogged.

I kept myself as busy as possible.
