dont know what to say Littleblue. Sending you lots of hugs and kind thoughts. Poor you. Sounds like a horrible situation to be in.

MrsSportacus · 01/12/2008 21:18

Poor poor poor you.
What a terrible situation to be in. I don't think anyone could judge you on this. Take some time to think -see a counsellor to help you through - are you going to tell him?

solidgoldbrass · 01/12/2008 21:18

Poor you. DO you know how far advanced your PG is? Is there time to get some sort of counselling before making a decision?
Sending you lots of sympathy.

fryalot · 01/12/2008 21:18

oh littleblue, how bloody awful for you!

What does your dp have to say about it? You are going to need some support no matter what you decide.

TipsyFairydifferentID · 01/12/2008 21:19

Would adoption be an option for you rather than the other? That way, you still have the option to change your mind later in the pregnancy if you wanted. You don't sound as if you really want to terminate the pregnancy, if you don't mind me saying? Have you spoken to anyone in rl about this yet?

Littleblue · 01/12/2008 21:19

Im trying not to weep constantly,teens notice these things

If he's separated why might anyone not be gentle

It all sounds far from ideal but not something you'd be judged on.

fryalot · 01/12/2008 21:21

what does your best friend have to say about it?

TipsyFairydifferentID · 01/12/2008 21:22

(((hugs to you)))
the only thing you need to do at the moment is speak to your partner.
Do you have any idea how far along you might be?

Aitch · 01/12/2008 21:22

terrible situation, littleblue, i hope you can come to some peace with it whatever happens. have you told him yet?

Littleblue · 01/12/2008 21:23

theinsider · 01/12/2008 21:24

how pregnant are you? What do you think his reaction might be?

Littleblue · 01/12/2008 21:25

Im about 5 weeks,i know its early days,but ive buried 2 miscarriages in the past..which was so painful.

NCRedBreastedBirdy · 01/12/2008 21:26

Oh Littleblue, how unbelievable hard for you

You are clearly a strong person to have gone through so much in the last year or so but you really need some support, I hope that dp can help and your BF.

I cannot think of anything helpful to say at all, I am so sorry

Littleblue · 01/12/2008 21:27

I think he will feel as i do

What a difficult situation for you littleblue. I hope you manage to speak to your partner about it soon.

wonderstuff · 01/12/2008 21:28

((hugs)) Don't know what to say. I hope you find peace

theinsider · 01/12/2008 21:29

for you

ThePeachyPlumFairy · 01/12/2008 21:29

This is actually not the first time somebody I've 'known' has been through this- though last time was a rl person- 4 kids, in a refuge....one night out in years and pregnant again!

She had the baby and it was hard but all the local agencies (surestart homestart etc) helped and she was OK. Actually, she's an amazing Mum, I can;'t even begin to think what she has been through.

Go with your hreart, its the only thing that matters- whichever way that leads you everything else will fall into place.

Good luck

Littleblue · 01/12/2008 21:30

My friend is there for me whatever decisioni make,she and i have been through a similar history,and shes so upset for me,i had blood tests!! it must be a rogue,late egg,menopause is early in my family

idobelieveinsanta · 01/12/2008 21:30

You will have to speak with your dp...you can't go through it on your own.

Support each other and i am sure you will figure it out.

hugs

MrsSportacus · 01/12/2008 21:30

If I got pregnant now - 35, 2 kids, separated - I think I'd make the same decision as you..and I'm catholic. Whatever happens please try and be kind to yourself..this is a terrible thing to happen, not something to make you a terrible person.

Oh poor you Littleblue, what a situation to be in

First and foremost you need to speak to your partner. You should make this decision together. You are presuming that you know what his reaction will be - that's something you really can't do.
