My period was due yesterday but never arrived despite having cramps. Today I've taken a pregnancy test and it was positive, this isn't planned and was a failure of contraception so I'm in shock here. Having looked back at my last period I'm 4 weeks today so it's very early still.
Unfortunately this isn't the first time I've been in these shoes, I had a termination and didn't tell DP because I was so sure of my decision that I didn't see the point in adding that onto his plate as well. I've phoned the same clinic today and they want me in for a scan next week before starting the ball rolling for another medical termination but I think this was a kneejerk reaction from me and I don't know if I want to go down that road again, maybe I will once I've had some time to consider it though. But at the same time, I'm really nervous to tell DP although I know I have to. The timing isn't great but it's not awful either, we live together, my job is pretty good for my age and where we live, he's just started a new job a couple of months ago.
We've both been on the fence about whether we want children or not which is why I'm so nervous to tell him as I'm not sure how he's going to react. I don't really know how to react myself really! I'm just a jumble of emotions. Has anyone been in this situation before; having to tell their partner of an unexpected pregnancy when neither of you were sure you wanted children in the first place?
