What would you do?

I am going to keep this short and to the point.  

  

If you had an affair, but later able to work on your marriage and save it, but found out that during the time you were involved in the affiar you became pregnant. Would you tell the other man, if there was a possibility that either could be the father? Would you have an abortion?

I'm Pregnant!

Hello! My story is much like many that I have been reading and it is good to know that I am not alone. And.. the wonderful success sories give me hope! My husband & I have been trying to get pregnant for over two years and I am at a loss to what comes next in our journey. I was given an HSG test and they claim that there is no blockage of my tubes, then my husband was tersted and his counts came out fine, then I was diagnosed and treated for endometriosis (through laproscopic surgery). Finally,  I go back to the Dr. office and they tell me to chart my temp and use an ovulation predictor kit AGAIN. Well, it seems like we're back to square one. Also, I will be 33 in Feb. and I'm concerned that I'm losing precious time. My Dr. suggested Chlomid, but I dont' know if I should jump to do that or should I see a feritlity specialist first? Our funds are very limited (I'm a teacher & my hubby works on commision in Sales). How about the Ovulation Watch? I just do not know where to go from here. All of our firends have had an easy time getting pregnant & really do not understand what I am going through. Please offer any advice that you may have. Thank you for taking time out to help.

 This must be so scary for you!  Fortunately, there are resources available to help you.  I'm assuming you are in the USA.  Try www.keepyourbaby.com for help.  Also, if you go to MSN and look in the "groups" section, you will find several adoption groups, many of which have member who will be more than happy to help you out.

Remember, you have the RIGHT to get government services to help you keep your baby.  If you have the maturity and the will to take care of your baby, it can definitely be done.  It won't be easy, at least not for a few years, but there is help out there if you are willing to look for it.

Look in your phone book to see if there are any crisis pregnancy services in your area.  Even if they can't help you, they should be able to direct you to somewhere that can.

Don't let anybody tell you that you can't do this, if you truly believe that you can.  Be honest with yourself.  If you think that you have the capacity to love and care for this child, and be responsible for providing all of his/her needs, then go for it.  If you feel that you will not be able to provide a loving, safe home, then look at adoption.  It can be great when the circumstances require it.

Best of luck to you, your boyfriend, and your unborn child.

Infidelity

Hi, 

I am 3 months pregnant and found out my boyfriend of a year and a half has been cheating on me at least 1 year of the relationship with multiple women.  I confronted one of the women and we both confronted him.  I know there is at least one other.  I am so depressed and started spotting from all of the stress from the situation.   

  

We talked last Saturday and decided to try again, and all of a sudden on Monday morning he decided that he loves me but doesnt feel the same.  He felt that something was just not right and needed a couple of days to think about it.  I broke down, I couldnt believe it I am so hurt.  I thought about it all day long and since the first incident I have been having trouble eating and sleeping. I dont know what to do I am so upset.   

  

I finally texted him yesterday and told him not to take anymore time to think about it.  I told him I did not want to be with him and listed the long list of reasons why.   It is sad to have someone you love and trusted cheat on you ,, it is another thing to be pregnant with his child.  It just hurts all the more.  Anyone have any advise to help me move past this.

ababy at 16

Quote From: lorilynn

Hi my friend was 17 when she had a baby, and she was very nervous too. She wasn't sure if she'd be a good mother or a bad mother, or if she could financailly take care of her son. Well in the long run it all worked out! she has support from welfare, and family, and she's doing really good! Everyone's a good mother, maybe nto at everything, but that's something we all have to work on right? I'm glad you're married to your son's father that's going to make your family an easier experience! Well best of luck and congratulations to you and your husband

I had my son at 16 and was married  to my son's father at 17.   I finished HS at 17 and went on to a techinal school at 17 and finished at 18.  I worked very hard to provide for my son after all it was not his  choise to be  born to a mother so young. My son is now 20 and in college and the joy of my life. I'm not saying life was easy it wasnt but I had goals in life  and want ed to make sure to provide for my son.   Everyone always says hes a mama boy including him. I must have done something right. Just remember it is going to hard  but that child is depending on you and you can do it.  

I wish you the very best of luck.

hubby picks name

 Recently I found out that  I am having a boy for my 2nd child. We are very excited because we have a 20month old daughter. My husband chose "Cazic" for a name if it was to be a boy.  Well, that's not the bad part... During my sonogram to find out what the sex of my baby was they showed us his penis and we were thrilled. Funny in the moment, our son stuck his hand on his penis and plan as day, smiled! We all thought this hilarious and my husband thought it even funnier for our son's middle name to be "Johnson" since thats what he liked to play with. I thought it to be a joke at first but now he is VERY  serious. My worry is that my son will be picked on when explaining his name in school.  I'm sure a teenage boy will think it funny and be quite proud of his name. Even more, a so-called friend of ours has nicknames for all of our friends from "Testicles" for Tess,  "Semen-Jay" for CJ, and even a 5yr old child he calls "Codfish". I find these degrading and do not want my children to suffer on someone's sick humor. How can I handle this in the future since my husband won't budge off the name?

OMG!! Your story is almost identical to mine.. i too am just almost 3 months pregnant and CAUGHT my boyfriend cheating. Even though i knew him to be a cheater..i thought with me it would be different. I know how you feel..and all i can really suggest is that you try to stay positive. Go out and meet new people. I joined a prenatal class..and even though its only one day a week..its the one day where i rarley think of my ex. And believe me..there are men out there who treat the women their with like gold. There are even men out there who are willing to take on a relationship with a pregnant women. Though i havent experienced it yet...i've seen it in the past. May i also add that getting worked up about it (even though its really hard not too) is really harmfull to the baby and to you. You have to know that you are the better person..a strong women who will get through this. I ask everyone how long it will take to stop thinking about him..and no one really knows..but i know its going to seem like a lifetime. Be strong...i'm right there with you on the same boat..i have faith that we'll both get through it somehow. All the love in the world!!

Hey i may not know lots but when i was pregnant with my first child i never got a dark line down from my belly button and my son came out just fine and he is doing really well. so i dont think you have anything to worry about.
