I think I might be pregnant

[mightbepregnant]

We had sex almost 2 weeks ago and the condom slipped off. He pulled out and the condom stayed in (hanging out).

I am due on my period today but I haven’t got it yet.

I don't know what to do. We have an almost 3 year old and was planning to try for another baby in a couple of years. If I am pregnant I will 100% be keeping it and will love it ect. as we were planning to have another child anyway just not quite so soon.

I wanted my first child to be in school first so that I could give the new baby the same amount of attention/baby classes/time with me and I feel like having a baby before then would take time away from my first too. I know I am probably being really silly but I just don’t know what to do😩🙈

Take a pregnancy test before you start panicking!

If you are happy to be pregnant then just go with it.

Sadly we can’t always plan our lives to the smallest detail. I wanted kids in my late 20’s and five years apart. I struggled to conceive and ended up having my two at 32 and 35. The two year age gap hasn’t been an issue and having spent 6 awfully anxious years trying to conceive I’m just grateful for my two dc.

This is how I fell pregnant first time just before our wedding, it was about 6-12 months before we intended but it is what it is and we adore her.
We left 3 years before trying again as LG started full time school nursery, by the time our second was born LG was just about to turn 4. It’s a great age gap, she helps us look after her brother, she is full of curiosity and enthusiasm, close enough that she will watch baby programmes and play with him and I still got to spend maternity just me and him as she’s at school.

what to do? go to pharmacy and buy test

What do you mean you don’t know what to do? Surely it’s obvious?

Go to Poundland and get a test then!

Why spend time agonising when you just need to take a test?

I have 3

there are exactly 2 years and 9 months between them all, was hard having 3 under 6 but you will manage just fine😄

Well, there’s a lot of today left for one… then I guess you wait a week or so (stress can delay your period) and then you test. Then you make a decision if you want to continue the pregnancy or not. But surely you already knew this?

Blimey, how old are you? You've practically planned out this non-existent child's life and your period isn't even late yet!

No point worrying until you have a positive test. But you don't need to wait until eldest is at school if you have the youngest in nursery, mine got their nursery hours just after dc3 was born and I had plenty of time for daily baby classes.

Unless you are clockwork to the minute I wouldn't worry, its normal for cycles to vary up to 7 days. Go get a test if you're worried though?

did you test?

Periods can be late for any number of reasons - I’m currently on 5 weeks from my last one - and I’m definitely not pregnant because I don’t date men! But I really don’t get the point of posts like this, sorry no offence OP, but we can’t tell you only a pregnancy test can.

Don't have these worries until you've done a test ?? Hope ur ok

You're jumping the gun here op, you're panicking yourself over something that might not even be happening. You need to take a test and then take it from there. Once you know either way, it'll be much easier for us to offer advice and support because you'll know what you're working with.

The waiting is hard and can make you very anxious so better to get a test over and done with so you can hopefully save yourself unnecessary worry.

I don't know what to do.

Wait until you've definitely missed a period, then take a test. That would be step 1.

You wait a few days then buy a test. You're in a stable relationship, you don't mention being homeless, and you've done it before! you'll be fine.

No need to panic over some baby classes, nothing is ever exactly as we planned it.

So it’s taken me 4 days to be brave enough to take a test but I’ve done it and it was negative. Still no period though. When would you test again/see a doctor?

Are you under any particular stress op (apart from the pregnancy panic stress), or underweight or unwell in any way? On hormonal contraception?

I wouldn't be panicking for being 4 days late but I'd probably do another test if I hadn't had my period in say another 7 days. You could also attempt wearing white jeans?
