I know that I won't know until I do a test but I am terrified that I may be pregnant.

My ex of 9 years and I split up over a year ago, I have 2 sons already, one from a previous relationship and one to my ex. I had accepted the fact that I would not have anymore children as i am now single and not wanting to meet anyone. My ex and I had a rocky relationship in the last couple of years and it took a lot to end it but we now get on very well and still do a lot together with the kids, we both said that one day we might end up back together but he had a lot of healing to do and work on himself..Anyway 3 weeks ago after a couple of drinks I ended up sleeping with him, he pulled out (sorry tmi) and that was that. Today I was sat in a meeting at work and felt really nauseous and I noticed yesterday that I could really notice everyones perfume which I can't say i have noticed before. Then it dawned on me that i had metallic taste over the last week and some lower back pain. With both of my pregnancies I knew straight away and this feels the same. I know how stupid I was not to use anything and not looking for a lecture but just terrified now. I always wanted a third but he didn't and obviously given the situation this would be a very hard thing to do. He really struggles with depression which is what he has been working on but this made him quite nasty in the relationship and was the reason I ended it. My family hate him and I feel so stupid and scared

Your family isn't important here. If you think you can cope with the baby and want it go ahead. You and your other children are the ones who matter not anybody else. And as for your ex I hope he will step up and be supportive but you need to be prepared for him not to.

I don’t want to come across as blunt but there’s no point in going through the various scenarios until you know for sure. Do a test before you drive yourself mad thinking of all the possibilities.

Hi OP, have you missed a period?

It all sounds very overwhelming. Best thing you can do now is take a breath and take a test.

Don't even think of anything else beyond that yet

Once you have a yes or no answer then you can start thinking about the next bit.

One step at a time x
