Pregnant and the father doesn't want to know

[Anna8019]

I found out I am five weeks pregnant.
The fathet does not want me to have the baby. I have told him I am keeping the baby , he has said he is done with me. I am upset and emotional but could be hormones too.
Has anyone else been through this? I would like to know how things worked out for you.
Thank you

Congratulations on your baby

I'm sorry the father doesn't want to know. I haven't been through this myself, but a friend did. I know it was hard for her, but her DS is 10 now and the joy of her life.

The father has never been in contact and doesn't even know that his DC is a boy - my friend sent an email to him stating the baby had been born, but with no details and he never responded. He was a complete twat.

She is now happily married to another man and has no regrets.

Do you have any support around you?

flowers. So sorry, that's rubbish. Haven't been in the same situation myself but have had several friends who have. As the father he will have financial responsibility whether he likes it or not - it's one of the risks of having sex that men seem to forget about. As a girl, we get the others.
Do you have real life family and friends who will support you? It must be a huge shock at the moment - both the finding out and the response from him. I have several friends who regret not keeping a baby but none that I know of that have kept one and regretted it. There are plenty of agencies that will provide practical support depending on what you need too. In the meantime be good to yourself, don't let him upset you any more than he already ha and seek support in friends that care. He might come round. He's hardly started on the right foot but is probably shocked too. If he does then I suppose his behaviour and your relationship to day determines what you feel you would do about it. If he doesn't - well, his choice and his loss. You need to concentrate on you and your little one now.

I'm not in this situation op but I am a mum and I can tell you it's his loss.

I hope you have real life support and financial support too and the best of luck
