this is my first post am dating this amazing guy. problem is that we have been together 2 months and now I have to tell himthat I'm pregnant this was not plannedand I'm a little freaked out about it.
Re: what to do?
U have no choice but to tell, weather you want to keep the baby or not, he has a right to be informed and has a right to have a say on how he feels about it, it might not be the news he wants, might not give you the answers you want to hear, but what ever happens, give him time to think about what you have said, give him to to react, and most of all.... make sure that if you keep the baby, you have the time to love and support him-her as this is life long and every child needs the love and care to be looked after and brought up to be loving and caring
Why weren't you and he using a condom?
You hardly know each other and yes, AIDS and HIV still exists as does chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea and other STDs.
The risk of unplanned pregnancy exists, too, without a condom or other birth control methods, as you can see.
You're supposed to be practicing safe sex.
Second off, why aren't you using birth control if you are sexually active?
You also sound very young. This is compounding the problem.
Did you get a test? if you can't afford one, go to Planned Parenthood or a walk in ob gyn clinic at a teaching hospital. If your period is late, don't assume you are pregnant., GL.
I would do a couple of things before I brought it up. I'm assuming you took a test. If not, do that. You should also go get it confirmed by a doctor. Second, think about how you want to handle it. You should at least have an idea about your plan before you talk to him.
Since you haven't been dating long, he's probably not going to be thrilled. But you both have to deal with the situation, especially if you are keeping the baby. I second tarpon with regards to birth control. In the future you need to protect yourself, not just from pregnancy but also from stds.
How old are you?
TTC since September 2012
I've been divorce for two years. yes its the new guy. thank your help
