Pregnant with unplanned baby and TERRIFIED!

[CobaltRose]

Hi everyone!

I'm 21 years old and have just discovered I am pregnant. I've been on Nexplanon for two weeks and before that we were using condoms, so this was very much unplanned.

Part of me is so excited and happy, but another part of me is utterly terrified! I've been with my fiancé for 14 months and we're planning on moving in together soon. He's been wonderfully supportive, as have his family. I haven't even told my parents yet as I'm terrified of their reaction. I know they'd ultimately be supportive but I'm sure they'll be shocked and disappointed too....

I'm currently in my first year of university too, which adds a whole new level of complication! I'm planning on finishing my first year but then taking a year off and returning next year after baby is born.

I'm happy but also so, so scared! This will be my first child and I've never even been around babies or children (I'm the youngest in my family).

Argh, this is all so scary and exciting and wonderful and horrifying...

Congratulations op! I was 21 and at university when I had my first, graduated when he was 2 and it was a great experience. I’m pregnant with my 2nd now and it’s still terrifying, you’ll be fine!

Congratulations!

Although it was a shock, sounds like you've got a sensible plan and loads of support.
Enjoy your pregnancy and look forward to your new baby. It's such a special time.

Congrats. Have you had the implant removed?

Not yet, only just found out I was pregnant today!

Congratulations! Just Take one step at a time and tell your family when you’re ready. University can wait a year for you and you’ll make it work so don’t be worried. Babies are a scary prospect in so many ways so you’re not alone in being frightened about the future but as long as you’ve got some support and you know what you want then it’s all possible. Get to the doctors have the implant removed and take a huge deep breath. Congratulations again OP.
