New Relationship & Pregnant, anyone?

morganakeene · September 2015

Hello ladies,

My boyfriend and I have only been together 6 months and we just found out I'm almost 6 weeks along.
We do already live together, and I have a two year old from a previous marriage that he is great with. Unfortunately we had not really discussed a defined family of our own aka a child between the two of us. Just wondering if anyone else is going through a similar thing or has any advice.

Hoping to get to know all you ladies better.

Yes I'm in same boat. I have been married for 11 years and have 2 children aged 10 and 7. I split up with my husband at the beginning of the year- and have only been seeing my new partner for 4 months, we don't even live together yet. I have just found out im 5 weeks pregnant. Although we are very happy about the news now that we have gotten over the shock- I am so worried about what people will think of me. I'm not even divorced from my husband yet, it's still in the process of going through x

Similar situation. Though, I've known my boyfriend for over a year we've only been together for four months. I have 4 kids and he has one and now I'm 5 weeks into ours. We're super excited and I'm sure both pretty nervous. I have Borderline Personality Disorder so he has quite a bit to adjust to, especially now that my already crazy mood swings are in high swing. We have our ups and downs but honestly the two biggest advices I can give is: Hug/hold hands/kids in other words, touch. Even if things are tense. Your partner is probably a little stressed too. I completely diffused a three day fight just by going up to my guy and give him a five minute hug. Then we were able to talk about things and it's all ok now. The second thing is communication. Share what you're afraid of, mention changes you've noticed, voice what your needs are, etc. Neither of you are mind readers (I'm guessing). It's when I clam up and stop talking that things get tense. Pillow talk is the best.
