Unplanned pregnancy, I am so scared to tell my partner

Hello,

I am on a pill which I have been taking, I was on 3 lots of antibiotics- could this be how I have fallen pregnant?
Anyway I am late for my period, so yesterday I did a test off my own back, and to my shock it was positive. I am so so scared as this is totally unplanned- I still haven’t told my boyfriend of two years, I am so scared of how he will react. What if he says absolutely not, or is angry at me?

Please can someone give me advice or calm me down! Thank you

Hi Emma, just a quick post to say hope you’re feeling ok. 💐

Emma, it doesn’t sound to me like your boyfriend has treated you badly here - at least not intentionally. True he could have handled things better but based on what he’s said to you since it seems fair enough to assume his initial reaction was based on shock rather than heartlessness.

In purely practical terms, he sounds quite sensible - beginning your lives together in a house that’s not ready, with a newborn - and your daughter to think about too - would not be the best start if it can be reasonably avoided.

If PP are suggesting he’s a bad person and you should leave him, bear in mind they only have what you’ve said about him, the sulking etc to go off. You’re the only one here who actually knows what he’s really like so don’t be put off doing whatever you feel is right by a bunch of strangers!

Hoping it all works out for you in the end.

@Tomeeornottomee thank you so much ♥️ I’m fine thank you xxx

@Notarealmum yes totally agree, he’s not been a bad person at all, I think when I told him yes he didn’t react well, but this was from shock and panic, I’ve seen him a lot since and he’s really been so supportive and there for me. He even said you know at end of day whatever choice I wouldn’t leave you, but it’s not the right time and I think even if he did say let’s do it- I would of come to a point of panic and realised myself it’s not the right time for us. I want to be settled with him and my lovely daughter to be happy before any of that, it would of been such a stress and rush. Thank you for your lovely message xxx
