Unexpected pregnancy

[ThatsSoFetch]

I’ve been with my current partner for just under a year. We both have 2 children each from previous relationships. We get on brilliantly - his only issues are from his previous relationship which was long term but not honest and loyal - not on his side though. I’ve just had a positive pregnancy test (unplanned - contraceptive failure) and knowing him, his view will be to get rid of it. I know I won’t want to do that but obviously - will need to discuss it with him at great lengths. I already feel quite protective of it (do not like calling it an it!)

My view is that this will really give him a family again - a new addition would cement all our children together and we don’t have them all at the same time all of the time. Currently we don’t live together and having a baby together wouldn’t mean we would automatically have to live together immediately.

I’m just interested to know what other people’s views are if I pressed on with a pregnancy without it being that the father was happy with it.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Do what is best for you. You cannot force him to wanting the baby if he doesn't. Hopefully, he will be happy and everything works out well for all of you. However, be prepared for the not so pleasant but should he tell you to abort.
Do you!!!

Thanks! Honestly - whilst I don’t want it to be that I put myself first, I had an abortion between my 2 children and regretted it and don’t want that feeling. We have discussed children before and both said we would t want any more however actually having a pregnancy is altogether a different kettle of fish. Fingers crossed he wants this but like I’ve said - I wont be easily swayed by his view but happy to talk about it all

Ok I understand. Hopefully, you both can sit and talk about it like mature and responsible adults. It was a failed contraception and not intentional. I wish you a happy, healthy and successful pregnancy.
