Ok so here is my delema. Im 20 and will be 21 in september. I have a 2 year old daughter but am no longer with her father. I am now with a wonderful guy and i became pregnant nov 2007. He was upset about it and neither of us wanted another baby because he also has a daugher by someone else. Well, a couple months ago i had what i thought was a miscarriage becaues i had a light period. I just assumed that's what happened. I told him about it and we were doing fine, well it's been 2 months now and i still havent started my period so i took another test and im still pregnant!!!! I have no idea what to do or how to tell him this. He is going to think that i lied to him becaue we were off and on at the time. also i dont know how to tell my family! I already have one daughter and still live with my parents and neither of us make enough for us to move out on our own...Im afraid that he will not wnat anything to do with it and i will go through this alone!! What should i do and how should i approach him with this?

Countrygirl, You need to get yourself to a doctor ASAP and worry more about this possible pregnancy than what he might think of you. A lot of women have light (even heavy) bleeding in pregnancy so you could very well be a ways into a normal pregnancy. You need prenatal care if that is the case. Please don't punish an unborn child out of fear of what this guy might think, please! On the other hand you could have miscarried and tissue was retained in your uterus and that is why you are having positive tests. You still need to see a dr. because they will need to take care of it by d&c most likely. Good luck to you and take care!

I would like to go to a doctor but I am also afraid of what my family's reaction to me having another baby. They were very angry the first time and i could only imagine again. My family always reacts with anger and it really stresses me out. Plus, things with me and my fiance are really good now, i know i have to tell him eventually but i just know that he is going to be mad. When i first told him he wanted us to "spend time apart" because he needed time to think. He also tried to say that it might not be his because we were off and on. I have not been with anyone else and know for fact it is his. But it still scares me that he is going to leave me. I dont want another split family. Also, i dont have insurance and there is no way that i could afford doctor bills. :S im like a drama magnet lol.

You shouldn't have to worry about doctor bills because you can get medicaid for pregnant women even if you have a job. I know because I got it with a previous pregnancy that I miscarried. I did not have insurance at the time and got medicaid b/c I was pregnant (they cannot deny you) and I made pretty good money at my job too. If not medicaid there are still clinics where they will do prenatal stuff for free basically. It's a public service for women who can 't afford it. You cannot be turned down. Anyways, I know that is not the issue as it seems more that you are worried about your fiancees reaction. You did not do this alone and he should understand that. If not, well then you know what most people will tell you :) I know though that you don't want him running away, but geez! I just don't know what else to say other than a baby is a precious thing and most anyone on this particular forum would agree. Think more of her or him at this time. I'm sure if your fiancee really cares about you and his relationship with you then he'll come around. He cannot be angry with you and if he doesn't believe you that you did not m/c then you probably have trust issues you should also work through before tying the knot. After marriage this stuff will only get worse...
