Telling People

[kittykat7210]

I'm not looking for judgement, just advice.

I am 18 years old, I was previously in a 2 year relationship with a guy i had known and been going out with on and off for 4 years. 2 weeks ago I found out I was pregnant. He wants nothing to do with it, but I am not willing to get rid of it, due to me having poly-cystic ovaries and having a minimal chance of me ever getting pregnant again.

i would just like advice on how to tell people i am pregnant and keeping it.

I completely understand your wanting to keep your baby and noone should judge you for that. It is noone's business but yours anyway.

Re telling people, is there someone you can ask for support since your ex is not around? Maybe relative(s) or a mature friend you can trust? Apart from close family and one very close friend, I didn't tell anyone else I was pregnant until after my first scan. You may feel the same.

You also need to speak to your GP and make your first MW appointment.

Maybe this isn't how you imagined your first pregnancy, but huge congratulations and best wishes to you!
