Hi there
I'm new to this, and would love a little advice on support networks...
A one night stand went awry and the girl fell pregnant. Mixed messages on contraception but that's not why I'm here of course - I just want to know who to talk to, if there's anyone out there who can help.
I've been trying to find advice for single fathers in this fashion, but everything seems to be geared towards the mother - are there support groups or antenatal that are just for men?
I thought this might be the best start point. I'm reading around the site and checking out different charites etc - but I just wondered if people have much experience that they can share with me in this situation.
Hi there
Mothers do have the monopoly on support networks, they're naturally better at it than men!
What sort of support are you looking for? As you can appreciate, the forum has limitations, although were a friendly bunch, we won't judge and will do all we can to support and advise you.
If your looking for more direct support you might like to consider attending a Families Need Fathers meeting in your area, where you'll meet others in similar situations and get face to face support and advice. Here's a link to their website where you'll find details of meetings nationally.

All the best
Hi There and welcome to the forum,
.
As Mojo has said the FNF groups would be good support, though they are generally geared towards fathers that are having issues with contact with thier child as I understand them.
.
What is your current situation, and how are things with you and this girl,Is she saying you won't have contact or are things in a possition where you are able to discuss things and come to an arrangement between the 2 of you.
.
we can offfer you support and advice either way, if you give us a little more detail about what you need.
