Hey, Eponine! Have to say I have tons of advice for you, but too much to put all here. Go to my web site, www.singlepregnancy.com. It is a site for women who have deicded to continue with unplanned pregnancies to become single parents, and has a focus on the mother's happiness, legal issues, nutrition issues, and self-help. As far as telling him is concerned, I wrote my son's father a letter telling him that he didn't have to be involved, but that I wanted a medical history from him. Guess what? the medical history never came. Eight years later, I'm still finding out about a heart attack here, diabetes there, gallstones over there... They can really be turds about this whole pregnancy thing. Whatever happens, realize that if it hurts, you are in good company. Don't feel guilty about not being on birth control. It's your right not to be on birth control, and what silly man doesn't understand that pregnancy is a natural consequence of sexual activity that sometimes can't be prevented no matter what you use? MY son was a condom baby (with only one possibility for a father, so I knew, despite the condom, that the father was who he was), so you can imagine what kind of crap I got for the next nine months after that! (i.e. "that baby's not mine-- she's lying," etc.) Whatever you go through, you WILL be okay, I just know it--MG
