Q: Hey Im New And Just Found Out Im Pregnant

Crying or Very sad hey.
Im 18 and I just found out that im pregnant... I have always wanted a baby but the thing is my boyfriend and I broke up about 3 weeks ago. He is the father and now I dont know what to do cos I know he isnt going to want it. He once told me if I got pregnant and he wasnt ready he would punch me in the stomach till I miscarried... Im to scared to tell him but I cant just keep it cos he will come after me... I also dont really want to be a single mum.. I dont want to abort it and I definatly wouldnt put it up for adoption but I dont think I have a choice...

Please give me some advice... Also can I possibly talk to some single mums?

Thanks soo much

love nat Crying or Very sad

First of all, your ex boyfriend is saying that he would do that. Yeah I dont think he would have the balls either like gaby said. That's his child so he should take responsibility. Do what gaby said, tell him with people around just to be safe. Im sorry your in this type of situation ;\

Whooa.. Okay, listen, as scary as it sounds, you can be a single mom! You can, I promise!

And if you think this guy will come after you, then go to a court and ask for a restraining order so that he cant come near you.

Im 15 and pregnant with my first, if u ever wanna chat pm me or aim oangelcc543

Thanks For Advice
Do you think I could tell him its not his so he has no say in what I do? Do you have to legally tell the father?
I really dont wana abortion... I work in childcare and I have to spend all day looking after other ppls babies... Its making me so depressed

Welcome to the forum! My name is rachel and I am 16 yrs old and 14w5d pregnant..
I'm sorry about your ex acting like that..I'm not with my baby's daddy anymore either and when we first found out I was pregnant he was a total a$$ to me and tried to force me everyday to have an abortion and repeatedly told me how much he didn't want the baby...Well things are alot better now..And I hope they'll get better for you also real soon! Good luck

Welcome karen , single mum with a 4 yr old boy...... I know u can be a single mum if thats what u have to do I am doing it at times its hard no one to pass the baby over to when he/she wont settle or u need a break but I have found that friends come in handy( if u dont always ask) and its also nice to have friends that are single mums also so u can go to there house and relax and chat to some one who knows what it is like and also my family where great also with help with things and buying stuff... As for ur boyfriend he sounds like a right arsehole and u sound like u could be better off with out him and if he says he would do that what else could he do to u and the baby so dont go back and the farther dont know I had the baby I told him but he left me and I moved from ireland to aus and he dont know when I had him and keep ur chin up and dont stress cause stress isnt good for bubba :d

Hi there, i'm 18 and preggy with my first too. 11w5d to be exact. But look here's the deal what you choose to do with your body is completely youre choice, if youre xbf didnt want a child he should ve thought twice about screwing around. If youre old enough to make a decision to have sex you better be mature enough to accept the consequences...Obviously he wasnt ready for what youre going through now, but ultimatly its y.O.U.R decision because its your body... And I dont know what the laws are in australia but I in the u.S. That killing an unborn child is still considered homicide...It sounds like he is just being immature, but if you think yyou or your child might be in danger make sure you dont get into situations where youre alone with him.


Is it possible to talk to your mom or someone and see what they think, just talk it over with someone you feel comfortable iwth and see how it goes. Keep us updated


by the way my names cat, im from florida.....And my yahoo im is formonedarkflame...It'd be good to hear from you...Bye

Hey. I'm sam and i'm 18 years old. I'm in my freshman year of college and i'm not preggy. Welcome to the forum! And as the other girls said, your ex definitely sounds like a big *sshole. Whether or not you tell the father is up to you. But if he finds out your pregnant and wants to know if it's his, you should probably tell him because if you don't, he could ask for a blood test and you could get in trouble for lying on legal documents (ie: the birth certificate) blah blah blah. Of course, that's only if he wants to be involved in the baby's life!! Good luck. You're in my prayers! *hugs*

Well this may be a little late but this is my opinion I am usually a firm believer in telling th man to be fair to him and the child however.... If he is going to physically or emotionally harm you dont do it! Yet on the other hand you could also tell him and if he gets upset just tell him he doesnt have to be in the babys life but you just thought he deserved to know... Maybe if you tell him that he'll grow up and come to a liking of the idea?
