Pregnancy Info HOME

You ask as if you have to tell him you made some sort of mistake. In truth - you were both there. If he chose to have sex with you, then he has to know that pregnancy is always a possiblity. If he gets mad, he's an idiot - because you have more reason to be freaked out about it than him!! Just lay out the situation, tell him you're pregnant, take it or leave it. If he wants to leave - good ridance, you're better off without him, if this is something you are wanting to take on, and just know that he will be held financially responsible, and your child isn't going to go naked and hungry. Now, in the event that this is not something you want to take on (and there's nothing wrong with that either, it's an honest admission) then perhaps the two of you can look into adoption. I have a friend who just went thru an open adoption (where you research families, and choose the one you would like, you meet them, and alot of times they give you the option of checking in to see how the child is here and there) - anyways, she had a very positive experiance with it - it still wasn't easy, of course, but she knew she wasn't ready to be a parent. Only do that if you genuinly do not want to raise this child - as in - don't let your boyfriend talk you into it. Good luck, and remember - he was there too - it's not your "fault".

I dont look at it as fault of either of us. Quite frankly, for me I look at this as a blessing. This is something that I have wanted for a long time! Therefore, I would I never place my child up for adoption. There is nothing more in this world that I want other than a baby. However, we both feel it is important to have other financial obligations or investments set up before we have children. That is why we were goig to wait a few years.We love each other very much. And there is no doubt in my mind that someday we will be married as well as have children. It just wasnt in the game plan for now. Im just not sure how I would want to be told if i were him. And I guess that is where I am asking for advise. How would a man like to be told? Is there a better way than just sitting him down and laying it out?>???

From a firm believer in no abortion (unless sanctioned under the Rape act) , evedently i would not be here today, if that was not the case , my question is are you 100% sure that your are pregnant certified by a OB/Gyn , Secondly when it comes to your jobs and careers its not the end of the world , you can still goto college if you are young , my wife started Phoenix Uni Online just efore we found out , but does not have to loose any time to build her career in Criminal justice, she still has 2 jobs and i have mine , i will continue and will push me futher to better myself to strive to become a better father ) , when it comes to finance i think you hit the jackpot in life any child is priceless ... what morecan you ask for ? , dont be greedy having a child should be a wonderful thing. i think its time to sit down and work out saving schemes , cheap insurance(untill you can afford something) , if you cant get insurance and live in the US, try something like www.maternitycard.com , its a discount based service so really check ito what they can do in your area first , before applying , How to tell your partner , first you must have some answers to the questions you may think he would ask , so sit down gather up information , and say this is possible and believe in yourself and that you show that you believe in your partner too. Also it depends on how the person is in general what are they like , how do they react to certain things , do you get into a lot of arguments about alot of things ... how do you resolve issues that concern you both , , How i found out , was to buy my wife a test and she did it and she started to cry, not for being upset but for being nervous having little understanding , so i gave comfort and space , we went out had a meal discussed , the next day booked a visit to officially find out, and yes it was positive , I went along and will continue to do so , after the first visit we took a trip to ECKERD , Bought a informative and very helpful magazine "Pregnency Magazine" Currently 14 Issues for $12 , thats alot of info and help for 86c per Issue . and we read it together and alone both of us , im more knowledgeable about pregnancy than i was 3 weeks ago , and i think it has helped me to forge a better bond and understanding ...between me and my wife,

im in the same boat. I just found out myself! Tell him but prepare for anything. My partner wont talk to me at all.
