Hi so I've just got a positive pregnancy test. I've been with my parter for 6 months and also have a 2 year old boy (separated with father) is this too soon? I'm so nervous I struggle alot with my two year old at the moment and live in a 1 bedroom flat. There's so many worries just looking for some words of courage or advice please. I'm yet to tell my parter yet as I've just found out, I'm nervous to tell him also not sure how

May be a bit soon but that doesn't mean it can't work.
I think you need to discuss with your partner. You have time to decide how you feel so give it a few weeks to sink in then have a really good think about what YOU would like to do. Yes he should have a say but if you don't agree then it is you who should have the final say.
Good luck, hopefully he'll react well and give you all the reassurance you need whatever you decide to do.

Thank you. I won't be seeing him until the weekend as he works during the week so not sure whether to call him or just to wait till I see him

Wait for face to face, much better than a phone call.

My husband works away and I've always told him once he's home, been weeks before but he prefers it that way too.

I got pregnant with my first with my then bf after 5 months together. We are now married for nearly 5 years, 4 boys who have a 3 year age gap and another on the way. It will be hard with a small age gap but we make it work. Look on the bright side they grow up closer together and can do most things together as they grow up. My second is 4.5 and my twins are 3.5. They have an age gap of 1 year 5 days. Maybe speak to your partner about how he feels about it.
