I've been told for most of my adult life pregnancy probably wouldn't happen for me without help so was massively shocked when found out I'm pregnant. Should be a happy time but I was so scared to tell my partner, he told me to have an abortion, it was completely ruin his life, dumped me and continues to try and guilt trip me into having an abortion, he refuses to even look at a scan picture because it will "make it too real".
All I wanted was a cuddle and abit of support, I'm really scared especially considering I have alot of health issues and don't know how I'm going to cope on my own but this is something I've always wanted. I just thought it would be a happy thing if it ever did happen to me... Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Did everything work out ok?

Hey Tinks!
Sadly yes, the same thing happened to me at 22. I was living with my partner of 3 years and got pregnant unexpectedly. Same pattern, guilt tripping me into an abortion, so did his family. Anyways, here I am 5 years later and he’s never met his child.
It’s so shit. I’m sorry you’re going through this. Butttt people get through it. Shit things happen in life and people bounce back. You’re stronger than you think.
Good luck with whatever you decide 😊

Thank you! At 32 I thought he'd be abit more mature about it especially as he has children with his ex wife and tells anyone who will listen how having children is hands down the best thing that can ever happen to anyone.... I definitely will be keeping this baby, it's my little miracle ❤️ just wish things could be different and not sure how co-parenting with someone who now hates me and doesn't want this baby in anyway but won't abandon it will work 🤷‍♀️ a very scary and confusing time.

Sorry things didn’t work out. But congratulations on the pregnancy. Try to concentrate on the life you’ll have with the child as the relationship seems over with your ex. Some women prefer their ex not to be involved but make sure you look into payments he will be due.
