Son gets rebound girlfriend pregnant after 3 months

I posted on here a while re my Son cheating on his long term girlfriend and he had gone into a relationship which appeared to be a rebound.
It now transpires that the rebound girlfriend has got herself pregnant after 3 months with my Son!!!
My Son never told us, he did so through his Brother.
He never had children on the agenda (his 22) but I predicted she would get pregnant (call it mothers intuition) when he first started seeing her as he is a good meal ticket for anyone.
She (I am sorry to say) is unemployed and from a not so nice background or equally family.
When we approached our Son (by phone as he has avoided me fact to face since this all came to light) and said he also has options his response was "she wants to keep it" so I have to get on with it.
It is like he been completely cast under a spell with the woman and her family, the bottom line he came last week (I was at work but his Dad was at home), cleared his room and said he cannot stay here anymore with me and they love each other and are going to spend the rest of their lives with each other.
Subsequently he has blocked both myself and his brother from all forms of contact and we have not heard from him since.

His Dad has not heard from him and it us left us all completely devastated.
I did say to him if you do not want to be a part of this that's is fine, no one is judging you but you do have to be responsible financially for the child.

We know this is a rebound situation and not only will it ruin his life as no matter what this mistake, and before you all curse me, it is a mistake will stay with him for life. A child will be coming into this world, not because it was planned but because it's mother purely wanted to trap someone, my Son or some other poor soul and then there is no escape even when you split.

Both my Husband and I are just carrying on with our lives, leaving him to it, if he gets in touch we will talk to him but if not then so be it, of course heartbroken inside but he is very stubborn and will continue down this path even if it makes him unhappy.

My Sons last message to me was I do not want you in my life and never want to see or hear from you again. I have come to terms with that now.

Anyone else on here, by any chance experience the same and please I am looking for constructive comments, the last experience here produced some less than nice responses which quite frankly that is not what I am here for, I am here to hear about anyone else who has had a similar experience and where did it end up. TIA

She didn't get herself pregnant did she?

Doggielovecharlotte · 16/11/2025 17:37

Omg your son obviously didn’t mind a baby if he had unprotected sex!

stop demonising the women

NewInks · 16/11/2025 17:37

“got herself pregnant”? That must be a medical first.

LittleGreenDuck · 16/11/2025 17:37

Bloody hell. She did not "get herself pregnant".

Sounds like your son needs to step up and support his girlfriend and their new baby.

FlorenceAndTheVagine · 16/11/2025 17:38

‘Got herself pregnant’

’not so nice background or equally family’

’its mother wanted to trap someone’

I am in no way surprised that the son you raised is a total bastard.

Is her name Mary?

Your son obviously ejaculated inside her she didn't get herself pregnant 🙄🙄🙄

Cookingupmyfirstbornson · 16/11/2025 17:42

Double post

shellyleppard · 16/11/2025 17:43

Op it takes two to tango..... this girl didn't get pregnant just by herself did she!!

Arlanymor · 16/11/2025 17:44

So your son cheated? Then had unprotected sex with a new girlfriend?

Two poor decisions, but it sounds like now he is standing up to his responsibilities and given the way you talk about this woman and her family, I can see why he thought the only way to be stand by her was to leave home and create distance between you and the pair of them.

I know someone who doesn't see either of their grandchildren because of comments that they made about their son's choice of partner at the start of their relationship. She could apologise, try to make amends, but she cannot see the error of her ways and so now she is out in the cold. Don't be this woman.

Moglet4 · 16/11/2025 17:45

‘got herself pregnant’?! Do you need a lesson about the birds and the bees OP?

Arthurnewyorkcity · 16/11/2025 17:45

Jeez. I understand why he wants nothing to do with you. How do you know itll ruin his life? It could be the making of him even if the relationship doesn't work. You sound exceptionally judgemental. She didn't impregnate herself did she.

JudgeBread · 16/11/2025 17:45

Why are you blaming her? Your son is just as responsible for this pregnancy, your implication that she baby trapped him because she's poor is vile, judgemental and misogynistic.

Godspeed to the poor kid having such a twat for a grandma.

WhamBamThankU · 16/11/2025 17:46

Your language about another woman is shocking. Give your head a wobble.

bitterexwife · 16/11/2025 17:46

Why’s he such a catch?

I doubt at 22 he’s earning megabucks.
He’s not bright enough to use a condom.
He has a family who are actively encouraging him to not be a father and to provide financially only.
He’s a cheat.

Seriously, why is he a catch?

The ONLY positive I see in him so far is distancing himself from his toxic relatives and stepping up as a man should do for his new family.

SmoothOperatorCarlosSainz · 16/11/2025 17:47

Your son clearly isn’t a good meal ticket OP if he’s cheating.

Yes but perhaps she hypnotised poor OPs son and he wasn’t aware of what was happening 😂
