Pregnant after 6 weeks

[TodaysMostPopular]

6 fucking weeks I've known him. 6 fecking weeks!!

I was on the pill too

Wtaf. How can this even work??

I'm sure loads of people will be along to say it happened with them or their friends or sister or whatever and now they are married (see it in threads here all the time) but in reality your right it's very unlikely it will work out happened with me and it certainly didn't! How does he feel have you told him?

Have you told him.

I fell pregnant with ds very quickly. Me and dh have almost been together 8 years and ds is 7 today.
We also have a dd and another on the way. It was not always easy we had to learn more about each other faster than normal couples would but i would not change how weve gotten to where we are now.

Also i was 18 and he 23 and we both lived with parents at the time. Now we are married with our own house etc.

He's over the moon. However if anyone knows it's unlikely is me!

I feel pregnant with DS1 within 12 weeks (admittedly I was being stupid, hence the pill this time).

Well if he's happy that's something to work on. A lot wouldn't be.

OP - of course he is over the moon.
He gets a kid.
At best - also a relationship that works.
At worst - child support payments and weekend Disney dad activities.

It’s your choice what you do. You have yourself and your other child to think about.

And luckily - you get a choice now, even if you are in Ireland.

Do I try and hope I'm not a single mother again to a second?? Or do I just give up??

I fell pregnant after 8 weeks. We married a couple of months ago. I wasn't on the pill though.

Not to set Butterflykisses eyes rolling but was on the pill too and fell pregnant after 3 months and it has worked for us. We've now been together 4 years and are expecting our second child. We're very happy.

Buuuuuut

• I'm aware that we got very lucky and agree that it often doesn't work out
• we were in love and planning to move in together already before I got pregnant
• I was 1000% sure I wanted to keep the baby even if our relationship didn't work out

So, don't make a decision based on trying to predict the future. It may work, it may not, no one can know. Think about the reality you're actually in and make decisions based on that.

It's just realistic rather than thinking it's going to be one big fairy tale.

You're not obliged to continue with the pregnancy. You barely know him after six weeks - if you continue, I'd plan for being a single parent.

Tricky. I got pregnant too quickly even though it was planned but I didn't really know him. But I'd been together with my first child's father for a few years and he became different once I'd had the baby, so you never know!

I've had a chat with a friend who has pointed out I was a single mum before & I can do it again regardless of whether he's around.

I guess it's because I fell pregnant quick with exDP & he fucked off when I was 20 weeks pregnant.

I'm worried it'll happen all over again

Well forget the relationship and if he’s happy, do you want another child?

If the answer is no then abort.

I do, I know il love this child. Admittedly it's coming 4 years earlier than planned but it's what I wanted.

I guess my friend is right, I've done it once and il do it again

Hmmm. Maybe a condom next time. Quite quickly to be having unprotected sex. And it happened before?

Your decision but plan to be a single parent

I read a thread on here, maybe a week ago. Couple had been together several years, baby was planned, and he still left her when she was pregnant. If you want the baby, and go in to it knowing that you may end up a single parent, and you feel ok with that, then I don’t see any reason not to have the baby.

Uber corn it says in her post she’s on the pill.

I think the others have said what I meant a lot better. Yes "it happened to me and now we're married" is great but it's not realistic and I don't know anyone this has happened with (I know loads it's happened to and the man's fucked off) best to prepare to be a single parent and if it work s out then it's a bonus not an expectation.

I wouldn't have a child with a man I'd known for 6 weeks. You may well have been a single parent before...but that doesn't mean you want to do it again.

Over the moon after 6 weeks would also alarm me tbh.

To be fair, condoms are just a form of contraception just like the pill. I was effectively "protected".

I think the condom comment was probably concerning STI's rather than pregnancy.

11 years ago this happened to me

I was 19

It has been a bumpy road

But, we are still together (and engaged), we had 3 more dc together and bought a house

We both got tested when we got together, and I got tested again to ensure.

All good on the STI front.

I don't expect it to be easy, it certainly wasn't when I became a mother for the first time and did it alone.

I was married for 12 years before having my kids, I’m still now a single parent! Anything can happen so if your answer is you want the child then you can’t really do anything other than carry on and see what happens!
