Single and pregnant, mind is in a mess

Hi I'm 28, I've recently found out I'm pregnant but not sure whether to keep it.
I split with my ex boyfriend last year so I stopped taking the pill, I was with him for over 4 years.

Since being single I've had casual sex with a few other men. The most recent one is this guy (Jason) I've been seeing, the first day we had sex he was really struggling with the condom being too tight - he's "big" I'd never been with anyone that big before. So since then I got some bigger condoms for him.

I then found out I'm pregnant. I went for an ultrasound a few days ago where I found the probable day I conceived, the Saturday which was the day after I first had sex with Jason on the Friday night. On the previous Tuesday and following Tuesday I was with another guy I'd been seeing for a couple of months. I've always ensured they use condoms though. I can't believe this has happened to me.

I'm 12 weeks gone according to the ultrasound. I don't know if I should tell Jason, if its even his. I don't think he wants any more children as he has five kids from two previous relationships. He does have a well paid job though. My mum is recently retired she's been waiting years for grandchildren so I think she'd be okay about babysitting and we don't live far from each other.

I was hoping to be in a loving relation and at least 30 before I'd have my first. I'm dreading telling Jason, I know what he's going to be like - he used a condom it can't be his.

Any advice is welcome, so thanks in advance anyone.

Hey OP what a situation Flowers So did you use condoms with both of the guys you slept with?

If so then you can really be sure who the father is as the condom could a failed with either. All you can do is make a decision that is best for you sometimes so thing are just meant to be but if it isn’t want you want for your life then there are options.

I don't think that Jason sounds like he's be a good father. I might be wrong. What's he like with the 5 he's already got?
Whether or not you have the baby is your decision.
I certainly wouldn't have it because your mother wants a grandchild and can babysit.
You need counselling on what choices are available to you. A termnation is one of those choices.
At 28, you have plenty of time to settle down and start a family within a stable and loving relationship.

Also do you know where I’m your monthly cycle you would have been when you had sex with them? As this might help you figure it out.
