Am pregnant, have only been with father for 4 months, should I terminate?

[Pawslikepaddington]

Have been on the implant since having dd 6 years ago, and have never had a problem. However (stupidly) I didn't realise that 1 in 100 get pregnant in the first year, and then the "success" rate goes down, and this one has been in 2 1/2 years.

What on earth do I do? This is a really bad time to be pregnant-I feel really numb-I know I should get rid of the baby, but am in denial about the whole thing. I have no super strong desire to keep the baby, but I think that is the shock more than anything. I went through such a hard time with dd when she was little, as her dad (with whom I supposedly had a "solid" relationship with) left at 2 months, we ended up homeless etc, that I am scared of history repeating itself.

I found out I was pregnant in November having been with the father for about five months - tho we had been friends for a year or so before that, we didn't know each other that well. For various reasons I didn't want to terminate: we are now living together and waiting for this LO to arrive (overdue by two days!)

It has been incredibly hard, much harder than I expected, and I don't honestly know whether the relationship will work out. But I feel like I've given it the best possible shot.

In any case, as people have said, there are lots of different options - the hard thing is that you can't know in advance how things will pan out. But you sound strong enough to deal with whatever the consequences. Give yourself time to think it all through: as long as you are comfortable with your decision, you will be fine. Thinking of you x

I got pregnant with DS the 3rd time I'd had sex with his father. We met through friends and I had sort of known him for just over a year before we started sleeping together but not that well. Unfortunately he didn't stick around but as others on here have posted they've been in week old relationships and it's all worked out. I wouldn't let the time thing dictate your decision at all. Ask yourself if you'd been together longer would you want this baby at this time in your life? If the answer is yes, then your answer should be no different now.
