can anyone tell me any real statistics or actually know of any married women who had a baby while cheating on her husband and the baby is not the husbands but from the man she cheated on him with? and not tell the real husband and let him think the baby is actually his?

According to a recent study, there are about 4% or 1 in 25 men raising children that they believe to be their biological offspring who are not.

It's actually been found to be very common in a few different species. Scientists believe that female birds will occasionally choose genetically superior males to breed with if their partners are lacking.

However, watching only a couple of paternity episodes of Maury is enough to prove that bird females are probably smarter about it than human females appear to be...

I knew someone who was in the same predicament and the level of pain after years of thinking the child was his only to find out at 9 years later he wasn't the father was devastating. I know it's not what you want to here. But that is not a burden you will want to carry with you until you die. At this point you have a responsibility to your husband and baby to be honest and accept what may come about.
I am so sorry.......Be strong......Do the right thing
Good Luck

this happens a lot BUT do you really think women are going to openly fill out a questionair and admit it.
My friend cheated on her husband, and got pregnant... she doesnt know who the child belongs to as even she is afraid to find out for sure.

That's just sad. What if the kid has a medical problem? She/he needs to know their full medical history. If it's dad has sickle-cell, don't you think it might be important to know this? I know this sounds like an unlikely scenario, but it happens more often than you think. These people need to put the child's welfare first. It's really the least they can do.

I certainly hope your husband finds out the truth and rushes to a divorce lawyer and dump s your sorry ***.

yeah, i know one. her bastard daughter is now twenty something but the cheating mum is haunted by the truth everyday. the best way out of it is to confess and apologise.
