Abandoned by my DH and found out I'm pregnant....what next?

[cautiousxoptimist]

I have had a nightmare few weeks. My DH has upped and left me for another woman despite us actively TTC not 3 weeks ago. My period is late which I put down to the emotional stress that has been placed on my body but today I could take no more and took a test. Five tests later and they are all positive!

I should feel elated and should be celebrating but I feel utterly numb. I cannot terminate the pregnancy as I wanted the baby for so long but am wondering how on earth I'll cope as I have a very demanding job and have zero experience with children.

God help me!

Your STBXH sounds like a fool.

I have a feeling you'll be much better off without him

How are you this week OP?

Hun I'm soo sorry you are going through this. Listen if you need to cry just cry. Let yourself to feel the emotions so you can work through it and truly heal. I suggest you let yourself cry especially at night and then watch comedy skits in youtube to cheer yourself up.

Please try to get through it and feel better by the time the baby comes. Congratulations, your baby is going to be the best thing that will happen to you.

Congratulations

Sorry to hear the nausea is setting in, but on the other hand it can be a good sign.

Flummoxed that this bastard thinks you should terminate a wanted and planned pregnancy because it might be stressful for the OW in her attempts to get pregnant with your husband.

You are soon to have your husband's baby to look after, with all the exoense and harm to your earning potential that is likely to come with it.

Is your sister a divorce lawyer?

Because I would not be exoecting a 50-50 split of assets now there is a child to consider.

The fact that he has changed his mind is irrelevant to his responsibility for the child.
