Pregnant by a stranger

I am almost 12 weeks pregnant by a man I hardly know. I made a careless "heat of the moment" decision to hook up with someone I had just met....and the result of my actions is a baby! I am.excited about my child and tge father seems to.want to be involved and even try to have a relationship with me, but I just feel so unsure if everything, including him. Can anyone else possibly relate, has anyone been.in.this situation before....how did things turn out?

This sounds like the movie "Knocked Up"... Don't fret hun, u live and u learn. You both can def make this situation a positive outcome. Just work together and you all will be just fine.

Have you ever watched Knocked Up, not trying to relate this to you, well I kind of am, it may lighten your mood, I LOVE it!! I agree, get to know him, it says a LOT about him wanting to be involved, with both of you, and who knows, everything happens for a reason!!

A friend of mine had a one night stand and ended up with a beautiful baby girl.  He tried to have a relationship with the mom after they found out, but things didn't work out.  They are now sharing custody and he couldn't be happier.

Id never deny.him rights to his child, unless there was good reason to do so. Im just feeling overwhelmed. I met him April 6th  and became pregnant exactly 1 week later, on or around April 13th. He seems like a good guy, works hard to.earn a living and is more than willing to help with the baby, and is actually surprisingly excited (at least thats what he tells me). im trying to get to.know him, and the more time I spend around him he seems like he has the potential to be a good father (of course only time will.tell) but as time goes on I feel.like I can't see him and I working out as a couple. And I will not be with someone just because of a baby. Im a single mother to z 3 year old boy who in opinion I have done a great.job raising alone! sometimes I feel like maybe its my.hormones affecting my feelings towards bd...because him and I dud great from.the time we met until recently. Some days I feel.there is a chance it could work out and other I think.there is just no.way. Its very confusing.

All you can do is get to know him. At least he wants to be a part of the babies life. That shows a lot for a guy in that situation that he can be responsible and caring. I hope for yours and the baby's sake it works out. But spend time with him and see where it goes is all you can do. You cant deny him the right to see his child but that doesnt sound like what you are trying to do.
