Happy fathers day?

[ja116]

My brain is jello from all these hormones and I don't know how to tell the father-to-be that he's going to be a dad.
He's only going to be here for two more days, then he'll be gone for a few weeks . . . so I have to figure out what to do.

So ladies, please help this emotional girl - how should I tell him that I'm pregnant?

Thank you for the advice ladies! Ok, so this guy is someone I had been seeing until he told me he didn't want a relationship with me (awkward situation to begin with, right?).

He bailed on me last night, but I went over to his place this morning and told him. His only reaction was to suggest an abortion :(

Then he called later and invited me to dinner. And it went sooo much better, he even offered to put me on his health insurance. (huge sigh of relief).

I agree with nickie.  Another idea, if you still have the HPT that shows postive...you could put that in the envelope with a fathers day card.  Inside the card you could write a litte note.  Then once the shock is over for him I think ya'll should sit down and talk about it.  Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I think that the father's day card is awesome! I don't know your personal situation (if you guys are together or not) but he definitely has the right to know. When I was 16 I was on birth control and was on antibiotics for over a month and ended up getting pregnant. I was terrified to tell my bf but it is just one of those things that you have to suck up and do... I promise you will feel better when it is over with. If you guys aren't really together then I def recommend the long in depth conversation and try to break the news gently for both of you =) good luck honey =)

if this an exciting pregnancy for you then i definitely suggest the card; very cute idea so thats what i voted for.

but if its unplanned and you think he might not be too happy about it / might be stressed about the new baby then i would just sit him down and talk about it.

Hey girl! I had a hard time telling my bf...by no means am I telling you what to say or how to say it....instead of saying "thought you should know"...maybe say that he has the right to know. Everyone has their own way of expressing themselves:) It's not the easiest thing to do...just remember the end result of your precious baby!! Good luck hun!!
