Fist, a thyroid problem can cause peorid problems. I know because I have thyroid issue and have for many years. She not be telling the truth or she could. Some men get scared when they find out maybe they will be a father. I have a BF and we planned a child and now he has changed his mind - just like that. He claims maybe it is not his. He is scared now and putting it all on me. Make plans to take the test, try to have an open mind, and work through it. I think the most important person in this is the baby and it's right to know who it's father is.
hippa protects the patient from outside forces. you cant contact the dr. i understand your feelings, but he is 24. he is a grown man, even when we dont want to see it haha. he admits to having sex, but who knows if the condom(s)broke or whatever happened. he needs to take care of this, not have you do it for him. you need to not get involved other than an ear. i know that sounds bad, but like i said he is a man now. and if by chance she is pg with his baby, its not the end of the world. he can be involved, he can pay child support, and he can still stay with his loving new girlfriend. when my sis started dating her hubby, it was a month into the relationship when he got the call. a friend that he had sex with was pg. it turned out to be his. it was hard, but they now share custody of this little girl. he pays a ton of child support, but you know, that is why you have to be responsible with sex.
Thank you! I needed to hear that. I feel better now that someone said what I wanted to.
Thanks again!!!
My son is 24 and his ex is 22.
He told me that the 3 years that they were together, he never wore a condom. And yes, he wore 2 condoms. It was a one night fling before she took off to another state. Now she is back with this news.
I think like some of you have said that she is jealous of his new girlfriend. We will pay for a paternity test if we have to. that has never been an issue. It is just that my son is so happy now and falling in love with his girlfriend. Now this news!
She just had her first appt with the doctor last monday. Yes, the first prenatal visit. She thought she had a thyroid problem all these months which caused her to not have her period. Now, how stupid was that. I want to call and speak to her myself about this but I don't want to get a bigger problem going. should I call her or not? What a mess!
Thank you to all your responses as this is very upsetting for all of us.
dont call her. it will just cause more conflict. i understand . in due time my dear! i hope its not true and she is just lying.
If your son is 24, I'd say advise him to get the test right away the minute it's possible, a test showing she is pregnant right now and a test for paternity. If it turns out it's his, advise him to get legal counsel, otherwise keep out of this. I know it's hard to not want to "help" but this is really his deal not his Mother's and he needs to handle it with both the current girlfriend and the one who says she is pregnant.
Her story sounds a bit fishy but then again so does your son's story, what's with the two condoms? That sounds fishy. She could be pregnant by someone else, I'd not lose sleep over it, maybe she's lying, maybe not, until he sees the test he won't know. I would not call her, bad idea. Let him sort it out, it's his business.
If it upsets the applecart with his new girl, she wasn't right for him anyway if she can't accept his foibles and flaws.
