Hi all,
I'm brand new to this forum. I had an inkling I am pregnant, took the test this morning (2 of them at home) and both are positive. Now starts the whirlwind of emotions. Any input from those with experience is greatly appreciated. Here's my situation:
I'm almost 24 years old, my boyfriend is older and we have been together about 1.5 years. He already has 2 kids of his own which he splits custody 50/50 with his ex-wife. I was on birth control so how i managed to get pregnant is beyond me. I'm so lost, i have no idea what to do. I need to break the news to him soon as the anxiety of wondering how he will react and what will happen is too much to handle. I know he wants more kids eventually but not necessarily right this moment or with me. We had never really discussed it in detail. Also terrified to tell my mother as she thinks my boyfriend is "just okay" but that I could do better. Her main issue is concerned with his kids & ex-wife, our age difference and the fact that him and i have different religious beliefs.
Our relationship has been good overall and we rarely have fights or disagreements, but this is a huge game changer. I have to decide what to do, whether i will keep or put my baby up for adoption, how to tell my boyfriend, how to tell my mom, etc. Please help!
