help might be pregnant panicking

[lilseb]

Hi I just joined mumsnet, as I just did a test and apparently I'm pregnant.

I'm 22 and am at the start of my career, my boyfriend lives 200 miles away. Neither of us earn very much money. He's anti-abortion though - and tbh I'm not sure I want to either even though I feel very very very fucked right now.

It's not really settled in yet. I just applied for a job I'd seen closer to my boyfriend real quick because it closed tonight which has kind of taken my mind off it but I don't even know if I want it, or if it's a good idea money wise. I can't believe I have to think about supporting a family right now.

I'm gonna go to my doctors first thing tomorrow to book an appt - does being pregnant count as an emergency? I'm still convinced I took the test wrong and I might not actually be pregnant.

sorry this is a mess I'm just a bit shocked

When you first find out you're pregnant you don't have to see your GP, you can self refer to the midwife. However, they generally won't see you until 8 weeks and I think it could be useful for you to see your doctor and talk about how you're feeling. You may find that saying it out loud, the pros and the cons, in front of an inpartial person can help put things into perspective for you.

I'm not sure pregnancy counts as an emergency as such but obviously it's something that is intensely worrying you as so I would try and get an emergency appointment. Hopefully once you've talked it through you'll have a clearer idea of how to move forward and feel a little better that things are getting moving.
