Hi I'm just wondering if anyone else in my situation . So me and my partner have been trying for a baby for the last few months been together coming up ten years . Both really excited to conceive . But now obviously with this virus going on I wanted to stop trying until this was all over . So I went back on my pill beginning of last month . Stopped a few days ago to have my break and no period . I think I am pregnant and absolutely terrified. I have all sorts going on in my head . And I don't know why I'm thinking like this but even been thinking that I don't want a baby . Also keep thinking of the bad things in my relationship and not the good . Is this all nerves ? 24/7 al that's in my head is worry that I am . Has any thought like this and everything has worked out ok for them ? Thankyou all for reading

You need to take a test so you know either way.

Have you any other signs of pregnancy?

Go get a test and find out. It's no point stressing in the meantime.

If you are, it'll be fine, you guys were planning on having a child together anyway, it'll all work out. Not the ideal time, but that's sometimes the way of things.

Thankyou both for replying . I have took two clear blue ones and both came back negative but I have a really strong feeling that I am . I never not had a period on my break either . I think I might of caught last week . Il go get another test tomorrow. Can't believe how scared I am . I can't talk to my partner about me feeling this way either I think he will take it the wrong way . I did hear there will be a baby boom in December mind lol x

Do a test. What is your occupation?

nolovelost · 30/03/2020 12:08

Sorry just seen that you've tested.

Oh OP terrible timing but... don't let this get in your way. I'm 9 weeks pregnant (baby is not a quaranteener, but only just!) And although it's scary there is provision for new mums. If you are pregnant it will be ok, there's lots of us scared but think of other situations women have had babies in... we will be ok! Hope you get the result you want!

It maybe too soon for the tests to pick up that you are pregnant.. Do another one in about 1-2 weeks. Dont stress in the mean time coz your only gonna make yourself ill. If your are pregnant then congratulations 🙂 I'm currently 39 weeks pregnant and obviously so worried to give birth with everything that's going on and with a 2 year old. It is a worrying time but with all being said dont stress out at the moment coz you dont know if you are or not. Sending you 💐

As previous posters have shown you, you are not alone. I, too am 10 weeks pregnant and I feel for people like @chocolatelover9 who is so close to her due date but if you are, you will be okay - I am still in the midst of a lot of sickness so this time of isolation has strangely been a blessing but of course it depends on your profession and how you are financially now because of Covid but whatever happens please rest assured there are plenty of us here who are pregnant who are happy to talk

Thankyou all very much for replying you have made me rather emotional with the kind responses . I have a teenage daughter from a previous relationship . With him for ten years and he was perfect until I got pregnant then started cheating constantly. I left him when my daughter was 3 . He was also mentally and physically abusive and I had an awful time with pnd. I was only 17 having my daughter he was 27 . At the time I loved him couldn't see anything wrong with it but obviously now I can . How he controlled everything I did . I think I'm pretty damaged from then so also I have all then worries in my head and now all this . I will do a test again next week but I bet you all know what I mean when I say when you know you know . If I am I will eventually tell my partner all my worries . I don't really want to say on here because it will be outing if people I know are in here but it Involves working with a lot of chemicals so going back when all this is over is another worry added to my Already 99 problems lol xxx

If you're planning to have a baby with your current partner, it might be worth looking into getting married. It gives the lower earner in a relationship lots of protection, especially if you go part-time or take a career break to look after children.

How we’re with your last partner 10 years if you had a baby at 17 with him and left when she was 3? That would mean you had been with your ex from the age of 10 and he was 20?

I was with my ex when I was 14 x

We are engaged. We have been engaged for the past 5 years 😂 we were going to buy our own house this year been saving for a deposit . We have that now but I don't know what's going to happen with everything once this corona ends . Our plan was house marriage baby . Honestly didn't think I would catch this quick . I have woke up feeling pretty sick this morning . Don't know if it's all in my head tho but I'm off to get a test now and I shall keep you all updated ❤️ xxx

Could be stress from what's happening in the world right now. 3 negatives over a week, doubtful that you are. Take another one next week to be sure, but think you're probably not.

NamechangeOnceMore · 31/03/2020 14:44

@inacheeseandpicklesandwhich I suggest you stop trying to conceive until you're married. Being engaged gives you no legal protection. Only marriage itself counts.

If you're worried the Pill isn't reliable (which presumably you are, if you think you could be pregnant despite taking it), once coronavirus has blown over, you may want to think about an implant or coil. Until then, you could use condoms as well as your Pill.
