Unplanned pregnancy. Kind of scared and nervous.

Haley

Today I found out I’m pregnant. I was on the pill but I guess I’m in the small percentage of people who take it properly and still get pregnant. I’m like half excited and half terrified. My boyfriend and I don’t even live together but hopefully that will change in the upcoming months. I’m only 22 and definitely didn’t intend on getting pregnant this soon! But we knew there is always a small chance. I’ve always wanted to be a mom. My boyfriend and I both do want kids together but we were thinking in about 6 years or so. Him and I are supposed to go out to dinner tonight but he’s stopping by my place first. I don’t want to go to dinner without him knowing. I’m afraid of his reaction. I know he won’t be mean about it or anything. He’s a great man. I just know he wanted to wait and we both wanted to be married first. He’ll be here in about an hour and I’m freaking out 😬 I don’t know if I should tell him happily or more seriously. I had off work today so I did buy just a few things to give as a gift but I’m not sure if I should given that this wasn’t planned and probably isn’t the best time. He’ll be shocked. I am shocked. I didn’t even find out that long ago. But I want to tell him ASAP. I know once it sinks in we’ll both be happy to be parents but I don’t know how long that will take. Wish me luck.

Thank you all for the support and advice 💕 I really appreciate it. I told him and everything went really well! He was quite surprised but he’s happy and excited. Before we went out to eat he said “first we have to see if there’s anything you have to avoid eating now” lol. And after dinner we bought prenatals, belly lotion, and a few other things ☺️
