I've been in a relationship with someone since august and I have just taken a digital pregnancy test that has come back positive 1-2 weeks. I am not really sure what I am feeling right now.. I guess my first question is should I wait a little while before I go to the doctor cos it's so early? Any advice on how to tell him? I am on the pill.. so this is abit of a surprise but I think it could have been when I had the runs (sorry too much info) for a few days perhaps it screwed up my cycle. I'm just babbling..

Oh congratulations honey. Those clear blue indicator tests 1-2 weeks would usually equate to being 3-4 weeks pregnant as you count from when your last period started. It's a good idea to see the doctor soon. Make sure you start folate and iodine immediately and stop taking neurofen. The doctor will give you lots of info, take some blood tests and you will be in for your first scan in about a month usually. Best wishes to you and your new partner xx
If youre considering options go to the dr soon and get it rolling earlier. If youre sure then start taking preg vitamins and google what not to eat and being healthy in pregnancy, no need to rush off they wont do much but confirm it, they dont start midwife visits until 16 weeks.
The pill isn't effective when you have diareah as anything that goes in, goes out just as quick. I wish you all the best with what ever decision you make.
I have fallen pregnant in a new relationship. I had no idea how he was going to react, he already has kids and we both had said that we didn't want more from the beginning. I waited until i went to the doctor to confirm, then decided to tell him over the phone that night when I knew he was in bed. This way he could react how he wanted and I knew that if he reacted badly I would be able to just hang up and not be awkward. He actually reacted really well, he was fully supportive. We decided on a termination, but I ended up miscarrying before that. Good luck with whatever you decide and I hope your man is as supportive as mine was.
I was dating my partner for only 3 months before we fell pregnant with our first child. We've been together almost 10 years now.
First thing I did was decide whether continuing the pregnancy was the best thing for me. Once I decided I wanted to keep the baby, I told my partner that my period was late and pregnancy tests have come back positive. I remember there was the initial shocked silence but after that wore off he was pretty happy. There wasn't any fanfare as I was pretty scared and unsure of his reaction but I found blurting it out worked just fine. And then booked in some appointments with the doctors to get as much info/medical advice as possible. Never too early to see a doctor ☺
If continuing the pregnancy isn't the best thing for you, just know that that is fine as well! The earlier you see a doctor, the more options you will have. The right thing to do would be to then tell your partner that you're considering your options before any procedures are done but again, never too early to see a doctor.
I've also been with my partner since August and I am 7 weeks pregnant.
I already have 2 kids from a previous relationship.
I was definitely nervous to tell my partner I was pregnant.
But he was over the moon.
Good luck ❤❤
