Avoiding pregnancy test

[Confused007]

Hi, first time poster here and I guess I am just looking for a handhold really!

my partner and I have 2 biological children together and 1 adopted child. Our oldest is about to turn 16 and youngest is 11.

We had our oldest very young and firmly believed we were done with babies! Unfortunately we had an accident a few weeks ago where the condom broke and I now think I may be pregnant. I know I’m being unreasonable but I am terrified! He keeps asking me to take a test and I am avoiding it because I kind of don’t want to know? If I don’t test I can continue to pretend it’s not real I suppose!

I think I am just looking for a bit of hand holding/ butt kicking and hopefully to find anyone else who has been in a similar situation and had it turn out ok!

Go on, do it! We’d love to know.

I did it! I am now utterly terrified, but at least I know for sure. Lots of tears here this morning 🙈

Congratulations 🎉

Aww congratulations 🎊 x

A very clear positive indeed, congratulations!

Well done for taking the plunge (well test!). What you do now is entirely up to you. You can have another baby, or you have the right to decide you don't want to. You choose what is right for you and your family. Whatever you choose I wish you love and luck x

Thank you so much to everyone for their congratulations and particularly for this comment! It is a shock for sure and I wouldn’t say I’m happy about it at this particular time but I’m sure we will continue with the pregnancy. I fully believe in a persons right to choose but I don’t know if I personally could deal with that outside of medical necessity. I will give myself a few days to come to terms with it and then will start trying to figure out all the logistics 🙈

Was going to say the only time I’ve had this feeling of avoiding a pregnancy test I turned out to be pregnant when I finally convinced myself to take one! Congratulations op give yourself a few weeks to get over the shock as it took me a good while to process it fully even now at 24 weeks I don’t think it’s fully hit me!

i was the same with termination, completely for it for others and beforehand I probably would’ve said I would if it came to it yet it’s different once you’re in the situation and considering if you could mentally handle doing so. Ask your gp for some pregnancy choices counselling if you think it’ll help you be 100% sure you’re doing the right thing for you keeping as I didn’t speak to anyone for awhile and got anxiety over if I was making the right choice in keeping at around 15 weeks but talking through it really made me realise it’s just the anxiety of all the change incoming talking and be sure I’d 100% have regretted it if I had terminated. And don’t feel guilty if you flip flop a bit in your head while you figure everything out as even when planned this still can happen and it’s just the anxiety of the weight of making such a huge decision.
