Pregnant - coping with this choice? Help

My boyfriend and I were previously trying - but a few months back went to a fertility clinic. Everything was fine, and it made us question if we wanted a baby right now. We then decided to wait until Feb 2017 before trying again.

We recently have dedicated our time to travels. We charter a flight for day trips, or we go for a few weeks, country-crawling our way through Europe or visiting as many states in America as possible.

We were away in Paris for a day trip two days ago. The next day, I found out I was pregnant. It seems pointless to not have this baby, but start trying in a few months. At the same time, we are having a hard time giving up our new found passion (and all the money we invested into private charter companies, hotels and so on) without feeling any resentment.

My partner is 33 and I'm 20, and although I'm young, I don't feel like I would miss any "freedom" because I'll still have it when the baby is born.

Gosh I hate when that happens.
I remember being 20, having chartered all my flights and finding the right pilot & jet I only went and fell pregnant with my bloody sugar daddy. Grrr
Thankfully my team of nannies saw to the child while I visited Dubai for 6 months.

I don't work, so luckily I don't compromise a career.

Of course you don't OP! But in that case Id recommend you marry your boyfriend, because if you're unmarried and he decides to up and leave in the future then you won't be entitled to a penny and he's get away with paying the bare minimum in child support.

I'm not going to marry him just for a financial benefit - thanks. We have some personal situations to deal with before we marry, which is fine.

That won't matter Queen as her parents are clearly extremely wealthy too.

Hollyhop17 · 18/12/2016 13:56

This is surely a wind up by someone who is bored??!

WellErrr · 18/12/2016 14:00

You mean he has to finalise his divorce first?

Passmethecrisps · 18/12/2016 14:01

I'm not quite sure what your question is, op.

You were planning to try in February yet joy of joys you are pregnant now.

Are you considering ending this pregnancy so that you can try again at a more convenient time? I could understand this if it wasn't in 6 weeks time really.

Pregnancy and the little stage is very short in the grand scheme of your life. You sound extremely wealthy therefore I can see no reason for you to stop doing what you and your partner love with baby there as well.

Most of us have a moment when we think "is this right?" But the reality is that there is rarely a perfect time

"Personal situations to deal with"

What, like being fictional?

Only1scoop · 18/12/2016 14:06

Just Peachy I'd say

Hedgehog80 · 18/12/2016 14:07

The 'real or not' debate aside, if you were a friend of mine I'd give you this advice:
You can fly till quite late on pregnancy so your travel plans could continue, also babies are quite portable and with the level of help I'm assuming you could afford, travelling with your child would be a relaxing and rewarding experience so no need for much to change

*"Personal situations to deal with"

What, like being fictional?*

^^ This!

OP, if you are living the life you purport to be then your various Nannies and staff will take the child off your hands and you won't have to ever worry about seeing / interacting with them except for Christmas, Birthdays and the odd weekend home from boarding school. I don't know why you are worrying about a change of lifestyle at all

Biscuit for you

MoreThanUs · 18/12/2016 14:26

You don't sound mature enough to have a baby.

SamanthaBrique · 18/12/2016 16:24

What sort of 30yo man dates a girl in her teens? Aren't you a little worried that in 10 years time he might look for another 17 or 18 year old?

A very rich one apparently! Xmas Grin

Mooey89 · 18/12/2016 16:43

Is ther personal reason stopping him from marrying you his wife?

QueenoftheAndals · 18/12/2016 17:57

Is the personal situation that he's married to someone else? This is moving into tv soap territory!
