Pregnant….not told my other half 😬

[Jaaxe]

Hi all, unplanned pregnancy (failed morning after pill), nearly 10 weeks and known a good while now but still not told a soul. I suffer from really bad anxiety and been burying my head in the sand a little to try and avoid a dip in my mental health. I think I feel when I tell people it’ll all become real and I’ll panic as I’m a high risk pregnancy and this will be my 4th csection. I feel bad I haven’t told my other half yet and the longer I leave it the harder I think it’s going to be to tell him now but I don’t feel ready to make this a “thing” yet either. I’m not really sure what I’m asking but I guess telling you all was maybe the starting point for me.

I'm assuming you want to continue with the pregnancy?
I think when you are ready to tell him, prepare yourself for the range of reactions. Think about how you would feel most comfortable. Face to face? Text?

You said the morning after pill failed, but what was the actual contraception used? do you live together? Will he have an idea that you could be?

We didn’t use contraception but he knows I got the morning after pill the day after so I think he’ll of just assume that worked. Yes we live together and have 3 kids together, he will support me I know this. I want to keep the pregnancy but my anxiety is so great that I’m just not ready to come to terms with it all just yet and worry about what could happen and I think I feel that telling my partner makes it all real and he might get excited and as my anxiety is so bad I can only see bad things happening I don’t want him to be excited if it’s going to end badly because then I’ll feel bad. I don’t know, i probably don’t make sense, I don’t know why my brain works like this.

Your brain is working like this due to the anxiety. Make your booking in appointment and talk it through with your mw. Make a drs app as well.
