Hello all,
I guess I am just looking for some kind words. I found out I was pregnant today and am really scared.
I'm 26 and am in a very new relationship. We live together already and up until today I have never been happier. I am close to finishing up schooling to be a CNA. I work for a couple of non-profit organizations and met the most wonderful guy a few months ago. Now this happens.
I've had 80 million things racing through my mind and am looking for advice/opnions/anything.. I've realized that although I love my jobs, I dont have health insurance and I basically get paid peanuts. I love the guy I'm with and the little life we've been building but I'm terrified this can ruin it. We have only been together a few months. He seems very happy about it but I'm unsure how much to really trust it. I've heard enough horror stories of men changing their mind later on before the baby is even here. And at this point its not just a possible messy break-up I'm worried about, it's another person's life I could mess up as well. And then there is having to tell parents/friends that I'm pregnant by someone they barely know and how that will look in their eyes. (I got pregnant when I was 17 and gave my first baby up for adoption)
While I know that this is the choice we made by having unprotected sex, we didn't even think pregnancy was a real option due to some medical issues of his. I want to keep this baby but am just scared of everything it means down the line.
Thanks
