Well, you just have to sit him down and be like we need to talk...and just tell him what's going on. See what his feelings are on this and talk it all out.

It is good that he is on his feet and has a job now.

If he is your best friend and an understanding person, there is no reason why he should not be able to hear about this news. It is his baby too, and his not talking to you would show that he is not worth your time and very immature, because you are both in this together. It is just as much his fault as yours that you are pregnant.

Give him a chance, talk to him, and see what happens.

I just read your profile and see that you want to keep the baby. That is your decision and not his. Don't let anyone change your mind for you.

If you don't have anyone to support you after you have the baby, but want to keep it now, then you can always put it up for adoption. You will have all 9 months of pregnancy to work things out too, so don't despair if you find him non-supportive.

Thanx for all of you. i could never put a baby up for adoption tho. he is actually fosterd himself and currently at his mums for xmas but comes home for the rest of the year. i know how hard he has it n couldnt put a kid tho what he does.
so at that point i have a feeling he will gradually except it but i cant stand thinkin about the look on his face. (sheer dissapointment i think) or it cud be a happy one. i just cant think of the time to tell him.

were never alone, n if we are its with his foster brothers ear on the door. and if a said i need to speak to you privitly he'd pannic

There must have been a time when you were alone....since you were able to have sex and get pregnant. I'm sure there is a way that you can work it out.

Like I said, it's your decision, so if you want to keep the baby, keep it. You could just not tell him about it, but since you are best friends, that would cause a little more tension once he found out, because eventually he will and wonder why you never told him.

Given time, I think the right opportunity will present itself. Just don't make a big deal about it and make him scared before you even actually tell him.

Why do you think he'll react badly? Is it because he doesn't want a child yet, since he is technically not yet an adult? How does child support work in Scotland? Can he be forced to pay for a child he doesn't want for 18 years?

As difficult as it may be to tell him if you were sleeping together then he should have had an idea that becoming pregnant was a possibility, even if you were using contraception.

Just be honest with him and tell him how things are - maybe he'll need some time to digest the news but if he's a decent guy then he'll come round.

It would break my heart if I ruined a friendship like that.
I hope it goes fine for you.
But then again, I don't think you should have 'gotten too close' to your best friend. That was kind of terrible judgement.
Especially one who's two years younger than you.
Wow.
