    I don't know if I can look after another baby by myself. Financially, I definitely can't. I struggle with one.
    So many decisions.

    your dating scan should help out a bit more, and who knows once he sees you start growing and the shock wears off he might want to be more involved

    Good luck sweet, hope things work out for you, and we're always on here either way!

    I'm unsure of the next step, but did speak to the suspected father who said he will offer no support other than to take me to and help fund a termination, and would want me to go paternity testing if I decided to keep it if I wished to pursue child support.
    So sorry to hear that. Big, squishy darl. Guys can be such jerks.

    By the way, i would not recommend doing a paternity test whilst you are pregnant. I heard they are quite invasive and *could* harm the baby. That's what I've heard anyway. I would wait until after birth to confirm who's the father.

    I guess now you have to think about what to do. Are you happy to raise the child without his support? Would you want to fight for child support or rather not have anything to do with him at all?

    Good luck

    Sorry, just saw your post above. If you really need his financial support, I reckon do the paternity test once the baby is there.

    This is a tough situation to be in, and I don't have any good advice to top what the others have said, sorry!

    Good luck and Big Hug.

    Take care of yourself MsBertie and do what's best for you and your family. Worry about daddy later on
