    Congratulations on your pregnancy.

    I'm sure you are stressed at the moment but you have made a decision that is right for you. It is wonderful that both your Mum and sister are supportive. It can be scary but I don't think you will regret it. My DS provides me with endless joy (except for the poopy nappies!) and I am sure your little bundle will do the same.

    The people on BB are fantastic. Very supportive and can answer any questions as many of them have been exactly where you are.

    I agree with the others that the father will have to support the child legally. He is obviously very shocked at your news (I am assuming he is young for some reason, maybe because he is acting a bit childishly IMO. Sorry if I am wrong!) and may come around to the idea of being a dad once he gets used to it. If you are not concerned about your safety etc around him (which it sounds like your not) then please give him a chance once he absorbs the news properly. He may turn out to be a good dad once given the chance. However, looking into your legal options is also a very good thing to do. Once you have the knowledge, you can apply it as needed.

    Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and hope to see you on here often.

    If you are interested, you might want to join your Belly Buddies group. They are ladies who are all due around the same time as you so can provide extra support if needed.
