What to do if boyfriend doesn’t want a baby but just found out you’re pregnant?

2 days ago I found out I’m pregnant I’m having severe morning sickness and just super sick. My boyfriend and I had a miscarriage 3 months ago which then he told me he didn’t want kids for a long while and wanted me to have an abortion. So I’m scared to tell him I’m pregnant and want to keep it because I already have an 18 month old

Was you doing anything to prevent pregnancy? If not surely he knows there’s a chance you’re gonna get pregnant?

Best to speak to your partner if your partner openly tells you he doesn’t want a baby and you still want to keep the baby this can affect your relationship with your partner and the baby’s relationship with the bby daddy he may not want to be involved and the last thing you’d want is an unloved baby

I would tell him well you shouldn't have gotten me pregnant then huh? Any man that tells you to get an abortion is trash, fr! He caused this to happen so he needs to man up and get over it and help you take care of that baby. Or you can leave him, find someone 10x better and have him pay you child support for the rest of his life. I know it sounds mean but asking you to get an abortion because he doesn't like the result of his actions is a whole lot meaner. Don't go through with that. If there's an ounce in you that wants this baby you would regret it for the rest of your life and never get over it.

Were you on any form of contraception? If not, he knew what the consequences of that could be and you should not be forced into a decision, it’s your body

Has he spoken to anyone about the miscarriage? It's a really good idea to. A surprise pregnancy is a lot! I hope your morning sickness doesn't last too long. All the hugs. Maybe stay with your mum for a few days? Mums understand MS 💕 No need to rush any decisions. Have the medical check up, see if it's safe for you and for the foetus to continue pregnancy. Then feel and think about it You have support people, and there are sevices you can talk it through with. Also .. we are here on peanut to support you, either way.

Oh hun its a hard one, at the end of the day its your choice you are the one that's going to have to live with your choice either way! Do you have family around you to support you ?

I had an IUD so I thought it couldn’t happen

@Stephanie he doesn’t believe in therapy

@Sophie ah. I'm sorry. It's exhausting when people pretend they don't have feelings to process

I'll comment when I wake but I can relate it's a bit different situation but somewhat the same

Do what's best for. You but if he saying he Dont want baby. You got to be ok with going to it without him…

I guess you have to tell him, it's not your fault the IUD failed. If you want to keep it, as you've said, keep it. Your relationship will end if you have an abortion you don't want, you will resent him anyway and be distraught. Would your family support you if he doesn't? It's a rock and a hard place. I'm sorry 😔

Do whatever is best for you and your little ones. Don’t let anyone tell you to abort or not to without really being sure that it is something YOU want. I doubt your baby will be unloved because he/she will have you to love them and your little boy as well (if you decide to keep him/her) You don’t want to make a decision based on what your boyfriend wants and regret for the rest of your life and that too will take a toll in your relationship because you’ll end up resenting him about it. I would sit with him and talk about it and mention to him that you want to keep it and why you want to keep it. If he decides to walk out then that’s on him. There’s plenty of single moms out there. It’s hard but the rewards are worth it. I was a single mom to my first for 5 years. I was in an abusive relationship and got pregnant on birth control. He didn’t want the baby and even tried to get me to abort but I knew I wanted my baby and I did everything I could to keep him.

@Sophie Just make sure that what you choose is a decision you make based off what you want and really are sure off. Don’t let others tell you what to do.

Your body your choice!! You do need to tell him that you’re pregnant though. Doesn’t have to be now but he does need to know. Don’t make fast decisions. Think & analyze everything first but make sure YOUR’E happy with it.

Tell him .he may change his mind ..

I gotten pregnant while on an IUD and miscarried. Don’t abort your baby unless that’s something that you want to do. And a choice that you can live with, and not be depressed about it.

I got pregnant and never thought I'd get pregnant doctor told me it be difficult if I ever wanted to have a child and that I'd have to try ivf I was on birth control and still got pregnant but he wanted me to get rid of the child but I was to far a long when I found out we were struggling money wise and still are but we pulling thru it I decided to keep my child cause you never get a blessing a second time you will be lucky you get it the first time and it was the best decision I ever made still don't even seem real
