Teen Pregnancy Forum

I posted on here a few weeks ago I am 17 ... But like now I have a missed period.. I am not askin if I might be pregnant.. I am waiting a few more days to test.. But.. They guy that I might be pregnant by moved to clearwater florida.. Which is a while away from jacksonville florida.. I was just wondering since he has one child already if I should even bother to tell him that I might be pregnant? I know that he will not be in the child's life more than likely.. I mean I know that he has no feelings towards me.. Other than sex.. But at the time... I thought there was a possibility for more.. And sorry if I should have posted this somewhere else.. Just not sure...

Its really your decision..But I think you should tell him ..You never know he might be mature and take part in the childs life...Dont be scared and dont feel bad for having sex with someone under the circumstance that you did because there are many people that do the same..So dont let anyone make you feel bad for that..But as far as you being pregnant ..Congrats and I hope everything goes well..Im sure that you and the guy can work things out..Maybe even be together ..You never know ..Just call him and ask if you can talk with him in a mature way about things and if he seems interested ..Then I would totally tell him :wink:

Personally - i'd tell him.
After you never know he *might* come good and offer you financial support.

Really, it's up to you though. Just my opinion that i'd let him know.
Even if I didn't want him to be involved or if I knew he didn't /wouldn't want to be involved

I agree with macy, afterall it is his child...

Even though he's moved away he still has every right to know it's his.

Unless he can prove you are like a drug addict or unfit mom courts will say a baby is better off with the mom. Thats just how it works

that's what I was just about to say :d . They won't give him custody just because you don't have a job, so don't worry about that. Give him that chance to be a father, you would want that if the tables were turned!
