Hi! I'm Luci, I'm 24, and I'm 10 weeks pregnant. I was on the pill, so it was a huge shock!! I've been with my partner for 2 years, and we are still head over heels in love with each other.
He isn't too pleased about the pregnancy, which makes it hard. We discussed termination, and we went ahead and booked one, which would have taken place tomorrow morning. I was finding it hard to discuss the pregnancy with anyone, because I felt like I needed to come to terms with it by myself, and form my own opinion of how I felt. I spoke to my OH's mum, and she begged me to make an appointment with a pregnancy crisis councillor, which I did, and I went to it yesterday.
She was the most amazing woman, and she helped me to come to terms with the way I was feeling about my baby, and the changes it was having on my body. It made me realise how much I already love it, and how I feel I have to love it and protect it enough for both me and my partner.
My partner has said no matter what I decide he will stand by me, and I believe him 100%. Am just scare, because this isn't what I had planned, no matter how broody and maternal I was feeling. I've always been very, very slim, and my belly is starting to fill out, which makes me feel uncomfortable :(

I don't feel able to tell my family yet, we're going through a very tough time, my dad is terminally ill, and has a matter of weeks left, so I don't really have anyone to talk to I have no idea about the stages of pregnancy, of what I should or shouldn't be doing It still doesn't feel real!!

If anyone has any help, tips or advice, they are grateful received!!

Thank you!!

this must be a worrying time for you but with the support of all the girls here yIm sure you will be just fine welcome to the forum xx
 
Hi Luci, everyone is really friendly on here and will answer any questions you have. www.babycenter.co.uk gives you information on stages of pregnancy, I think you just need to put in your due date. It sounds like a very tough time for you at the moment, very sorry to hear about your dad and I really hope this pregnancy becomes something positive for you and your family during what is a very difficult time for you all. x
 
welcome and congrats on your baby, sorry to hear about ur dad hopefully everthing will work out ok for u x
 
I was just thinking, maybe it would be a positive thing for you to tell your family now? Have you thought about if you would like your Dad to know if it would be something that would make him happy and pleased about? x

I did think about this. I told my little brother over the phone yesterday, he was so underwhelmed! Am going home tomorrow for his birthday, and am planning on telling my mum then. I have absolutely no idea where to start! Think its going to go along the lines of "mum, i need to talk to you, and I need your support, not for you to shout at me or judge me"

Am going to talk to the care manager of the home my dad is in, as I know last time I went, they were worried about his heart, so I'm worried a big shock like this could be bad for him
 
I have been in your situation not once but twice!
I feel pregnant at 17 and I have never been so frightened. Although my mum and dad were upset at the initial news within a couple of days they calmed down and within weeks they were excited and now I have an 8 year old who they literally adore.
Things always seem so much scarier as soon as they happen but the world has a way of accommodating and making most things better.
My nana took me aside when i was about 12 weeks pregnant and said the nicest thing to me and I will always remember it "There are worse things in this world than a beautiful wee baby and what mum or dad do you know has ever regretted a child?"

You are being so brave hun. I can't tell you how your family will react but what I can tell you is that your life is about to change for the absolute better. You just have to hold your head up and try not to let any negativity stop you from enjoying one the most special things you will ever experience!

Good Luck and most of all Congratulations xxx
