Hi I am mandy. 18 years old and pregnant.
14 weeks to be exact. The father of my
baby acts as if he wants nothing to do
with me or his child, and it makes me so
upset. I don't want to have a child
without a father, but I don't wanna give
it up or abort it either. Being pregnant
and single, with nobody is so hard. Help
me plz.

Hi mandy, welcome to this forum.
You sound so confused and i'm not
supprised. Your hormones are going crazy
at the moment, and you are still very
young.
My friend is carrying her second child and
her husband is in total denyal. He was
the first time too. Men can find
pregnancy a very traumatic time. It's
possible that he needs time for this
change in your relationship to sink in.
Where you trying to conceive? How long
have you been together?
I can be very impulsive...If something is
on my mind, I want an answer immediately.
When my bf and I have had issues, instead
of waiting for him to come to me and talk
about it, I have gone in guns blazing
wanting answers. Sometimes this isn't
the best way to deal with things. I have
learnt over time, to wait until the right
moment, to stay calm and talk things over
with him. I try and control my
overwhelming urges to get the answer I
want from him, instead, I ask for his
comments and listen to what he has to
say.
Take a step back, wait and see what he has
to say. It may be that he is as
excited/confused as you, but needs to work
things out for himself.
I hope that this has helped. Keep us
posted and pm me if you need to.
Good luck. Xx
