Topic : I'm Pregnant!

I am pregnant with my first (and probably only child) at age 26. There are alot of circumstances surrounding the fact that I am single which I am going to choose to avoid talking about right now.

I am wondering if someone out there can give me some feed back on these issues.

1) I live with a female friend who is older than me and she happens to be the paternal grandmother. Why is it that no matter how often I speak up or out, people keep asking  _her_ what is happening with _my_ child (who is due in a couple of weeks). I am seriously angered and somewhat put out that people are not taking me seriously as a mother figure. This even extends to health care professionals who talk to her and completely ignore the fact that i am the pregnant one and that i am right there in the room. I ask questions about my childs health and about the pregnancy and I get ignored. Friends and family are constantly talking to my roomie and never taking the time to listen to what I have to say.

2) This hard to write because I have a great respect for my friend and I have addressed this issue with her personally already several times but she wont listen....I have not given her any false hopes that she will in anyway be a coparent for my child and yet she puts out there that she is the primary and has done alot of stuff which she has not done.

I guess i would like to know if anyone can suggest a tasteful way I haven't tried to get it through to people that I am not sharing my parenthood with her and how to stop her from giving this impression to people. Yes this behavior of both the people surrounding my situation as well as the behavior of my friend is beginning to affect the way people treat me in other areas of life. How do I deal with this? How do I get people to understand that I am the parent and that I have provided for myself and the child and met my other responsabilities without hurting my friend? For that matter why is she acting like this is her chance at raising a family again?

I'm 19 years old and 2 months pregnant with twins. This is my first pregnancy. My partner and I are extremely happy. He already has a 4 year old that will be five in January around the time the twins will be born.

My problem is that we are having to keep the pregnancy quiet because of his wife. They are legaly seperated but not divorced. I don't see where I should have to keep anything quiet. I am so thrilled but I cry alot because I can't tell all my friends and family because of the situation. I don't see it fair.

And on the other hand there is a huge possibility that she too is pregnant with her boyfriends child. So I don't understand why I am going to have to be the one that goes throughout my pregnancy being so secretive.

Does anyone have any advice on what I should do in this situation? Please tell. I need some help.

Hi There...Wow so your having Twins, wot a Blessing! Especially because its your first Pregnancy too

CONGRADULATIONS! You must be Static. You should be HAPPY! Fo real. Well as for your situation goes with your partners ex wife, I SAY.... that he needs to deal with that and tie up any loose strings.Its really his call to tell the ex that you are pregnant and both are expecting, not like its any of her business anyway.And you shouldnt have to worry about that, thats his problem! NOT YOURS!  If anything I agree with you, I dont see why you should keep it a secret.Unless theres something floating in the backround? I duno, im not an expert but how ever I sense something is not right in that picture.You shouldnt have to hide anything.Seriously.Its really un-wanted stress that you dont need right now..ok now..yes its normal to get emotional, but NOT FOR THE WRONG REASONS..I know your partner must be very supportive, but because of the "situation with the wifey thingi"You need the support of your Family & Friends.I SAY...Just tell them.Maybe they can shed some light on the situation and Im sure they wudnt care two Hoots about your partners ex..I think there main concern will be YOU.dame as Im reading yours and my messages its starting to disturb me.lolz...Anywayz this is suppose to be a special Highlight in both your lifes. You deserve to be happy.Think About  YOU and YOUR TWINS, because thats all that Matters, Anything eles outside your circle.DOES NOT MATTER...ok I hope that wil help.Let Your partner deal with thaatt SITUATION! Be happy...PEACE

So I'm 19 and i found out i was pregnant about a month ago. My baby's daddy n me are having so many issues. I am haing so many issues because I was pregnant last year from another male. I had an abortion because the babys daddy was in the military n I didnt think i could do it. I regret that decision. Now that I am pregnant again I think about our previous babby n the daddy. This is only my second partner n im already pregnant. I was with my first partner for 5 years. Is thinking about my ex normal?
