Answer 1

You just tell him. He’ll find out anyway…when your over 5 months. It’s better to tell now. If he finds out a million years later, he’ll probably be all mad cuz u didn’t tell him earlier. Or u can just get an abortion and nobody will know. EVER. Unless u don’t have enough money…. No matter what, DON’T LIE. Ok. Good Luck!!

Answer 2

I am not sure how you and your bf's relationship is, so it's hard to know exactly how he will react towards the whole thing. Sadly, my bf and I were not even on talking terms when I found out I was pregnant....so again, sadly, I told him through a text message. We have been together for a year and well actually just the same amount as you and your bf. At that point in our relationship we were very rocky....and I mean very rocky!

It took him awhile to come around...trust me, it might take him awhile to come around. Best thing I can say is don't stress it! He will be in shock, he'll be scared.....

I am now 15 weeks and my bf and I are doing fine, he's excited about the baby and we are coming together more and more every day. Like I said, he may go MIA for a while, don't fall apart!!! Concentrate on you and your baby, having him around will be a bonus and nevertheless he may suprise you and actually be excited about the pregnancy!!

You'll never know until you tell him....just remember....if he is upset....don't let it get to you or affect the way you feel towards the baby. I did that at first and missed out on enjoying the life growing inside me. You don't know how strong you'll become!

message me if you'd like...I hope I helped.....

Answer 3

Tell him love him, tell you you made a mistake... most importantly telling him YOU ARE ASKING HIS ADVICE (then he wont feel like deer in a headlights, like he has choice and options) and then tell him...

give him time (even it it takes days to precoess the information) and DO NOT make him wrong abouthis first response or his frst answer... the news grew on you over time and he needs the same respect, especially because he though you wer eon the pill, but even if you were on the pill... it is not 100% effective so the chance was still there and he cannot place the blame 100% on you
good luck and god bless

This happened to me back in the 70'
Please tell him - Yes he may get mad but at least being honest with him will make all the difference in the world.
My girl friend , at the time , didn't tell me she wasn't taking her birth control pills - She came to me and said she didn't like the way things were between us an left. Two months later she returned with the news. I wasn't sure what to think .
After she left I met someone else. Unsure if I was the father I choice not to get involved- It was a stupid mistake on my part and I do regret it.

Answer 5

Just sit down with him and say. I am pregnant. If he does not know that you took yourself off birthcontrol for the headaches then don't tell him. If he says I thought you were on the pill then you say, "I was but that is not 100%." Yeah the situation sucks but what are you going to do!? You could also tell him the truth and have an argument about it & hope that he gets over it. I know it sucks to lie and normally I wouldn't condone it but just do what you feel is right for you.

& if he knew you were off the pill then he has no right to be mad since he shoulda started using condoms so its his fault too.

Answer 6

You need to talk to him now. I wouldn't wait. But do not let him put any negative pressure on you. Its gonna be okay. Hopefully you got a good guy, Who's ready for responsibility. Hopefully you are excited. Try not to get depressed or anything like that. Its good to stay away from stress. This will either make your relationship stronger... or weaker! But the baby is both of yours, and you need to be responsible parents. Good luck to you and your new baby!

Answer 7

He shouldn't be mad because he could have worn a condem. This happens to tons of girls so you are definitely not the only one. Just tell him outright. "I'm Pregnant" whatever his reaction it won't change the fact that you are pregnant. He needs to face it. But give him a chance he is prob a good guy that will help you in anyway he can.

Answer 8

Well mamaz look you gotta be real and up feont with him no matter what the truth will set you free. Tell him what happen and if he really loves you he will be there no matter what. But i dont know if you pray but u should ask god to let him see the truth and show him the light if u talk to god you will know what to do!

Erm!
I'm not going to tell you how silly what you did was. I'm guessing you're kicking yourself right now and if you aren't i don't think you understand what you're about to get into. All the questions and anxieties you have and probably didn't have thanks to your parents is about to rain down on someone else.
That aside. You have to tell him gently. You know him best if setting the scene and cooking dinner before you tell him will freak him out. Then just tell him.

Remember its your body and whatever decision you are going to make you are going to make but its his child too so he has to know. I've noticed secrets have a nasty way of getting out.
trust me you don't want him to find out on the sly. be up front. You were grown up enough to have sex telling him you are pregnant is a lot less daunting trust me.

You are not alone. Let us know how it works out for you.

Answer 10

sit down with him and tell him, it wont be easy but how mad can he get?? even birth cont. isn't 100% effective, so he should've known he was taking a chance. talk to him, the first night u tell him, u guys might not have much to say but once u both realize theres nothing you can do about it then it will be easy to talk about...
