Looking for advice...

[Proudmum1719]

I'm in an unusual situation... I have a 1 year old & we currently live just the two of us. My baby's Dad lives near-by & we're in an on/off relationship due to issues we both have from our 'lives before us'. We have only been intimate twice this year & the last time has resulted in me becoming pregnant. I haven't said anything to him yet as my OH has alot on his mind at the moment (not making excuses for him he really does!) but he asked me last week if I got my period yet & I now feel I should tell him as it was confirmed with a test yesterday. I just don't want to spoil his Christmas & put more on his mind, but I don't want to lie to him either. Should I tell him before Christmas or wait until it's over? Thanks in advance! Xx

If he has asked if you have had your period I would tell him. Last thing you want is to lie and in the future him become anxious about your answers when he asks a question.

I find you can't go far wrong with honesty X I spose if you think it will make things worse, you could skirt around the issue, however I would hate to think of you going through this alone. As we only have 2 days to go...I would lean towards waiting, as you seem to feel it's best for him, and you care about what he's going through. Just make sure your not doing yourself an injustice.

Are you certain that this will be bad news to him?

Thank you ladies. OxeyeDaisy, I definitely wouldn't blatantly lie to him, I was honest when he asked about my period but hadn't confirmed with a test at that point.
Jummynbean, I'm pretty sure he won't take it well, he's going through a really tough time emotionally & this will be his 5th child as he has 3 from a previous relationship...
I think I may hold off telling him for a couple of days, unless he asks questions again - I think I'm building up in my head what he's thinking & telling him now would be more for me than him which I feel would be unfair right now. I guess 2or3 more days won't hurt... . x

Hi everyone I done a pregnancy test today I’ve 4 days late for my period and i see a faint line not sure if it’s 100% positive

Hey Chelmarie. That usually means inconclusive & they recommend doing another test 2or 3 days after the 1st. I hope it all goes how you want 😊 Good luck. x
