Unplanned PG: What was DP/DF/DH reaction?

[Jennifer13]

I waited until we were alone late the night I tested. We'd been together five years. DP was shocked. He asked what I was going to do and when I said I was having a baby. So he told me to go to the dr the next day and came with me.

We had some rough patches during the pg (and afterwards), but we're still here almost seven years and another baby too.

Asked me to retest. Didn't belive it then after the bloods. Got a tad excited.
I was 19, engaged a month n now two kids a dog n 12 chooks later....

I wonder if his response is that because he is fearful of what his family's reaction will or could be???

DD1, I did the test whilst dh was at music practice, then we had dinner at his parents house (where he said I was just glowing, and looked beautiful), went home and we were laying on the bed when I blurted it out... He just smiled, and had this dumb look on his face. I was the one who wanted to opt for a termination. I just didnt feel ready. But we never went through with it, and the whole time he has stuck by my side.
We were fearful about Dh's family reaction. We had been together for 7yrs, even though few family members realised that. (long story) But we were sure that when we told his mum she would want us to get married before DD1 came along, she is one who believes in marriage first, then move in together, then babies. But we sorted through that with time.

to your sister and you. Im sure everything will work out, in its own strange way.

Mine was actually pretty good about it. He was more worried about telling his mother.

Big hugs to your sister.
Hoping everything turns out okay.

I fell pregnant the second month we were together. He had basically told me on our third date that he wouldn't hesitate to have kids with me (I was 37 at the time, so obviously it was going to need to be talked about at some point). He was very surprised but very supportive and there was absolutely no way either of us considered a termination. Sadly, I miscarried that baby.

with my ex-df i was with him less than a month when I fell preg, he pushed me into a termination in the nicest way he could: guilt trip. "imagine the life the kid would have, we cant afford to provide for it" etc.
We only lasted a year after that, as i wasnt allowed to feel sad about my loss, he would tell me "its done with get over it" pretty much.
