Pregnant after a year together

I have been in a relationship for a year and 2 months now and I found out that I'm pregnant. I'm panicking over the situation, it's not a very new relationshipand it's serious but it's obviously very soon to be having a child together. I have an 11 year old daughter, he doesn't have any children. This is my first relationship since separating from my daughter's dad when she was 2, over the years of being single I assumed I would probably never have anymore children. I'm worrying about how he'll react and how this could affect our relationship, we've had casual conversations about how we might have children together one day but of course not any time soon. I'm also worried about how my daughter will feel about it, she gets on well with him, she found me being in a relationship a little difficult to get used to at first but over time she has, a sibling would be a big change for her

Think you need to bite the bullet and tell your partner. You can’t second guess his reaction. Tell him, and then make plans. I’d not tell DD just yet. But you can start having chats about a babies/a sibling in a casual way and get her used to the idea beforehand. Good luck.

As other pp said, tell him. Hopefully he'll be supportive but if he's not going to be then you have time to decide what you are going to do, if you know yourself what you want if he was to say doesn't want a child.
I assume it's very early days? as for telling your daughter I would wait until after the first scan.
