If there’s one thing that I don’t talk about enough on here, it’s unplanned pregnancy.
Ha.
I’m kidding, of course.
But what I have noticed is that all too often, the man, the baby daddy, the boyfriend, or whatever else you want to call him does get left out of the conversation.
And honestly, for many women, their partner is a huge piece of the puzzle. He may walk out of your life, or he may hold the door to usher you into a new one, but either way, your relationship with him will drastically change with an unplanned pregnancy.
Which is why I rounded up some answers from some of the women I respect most in this world-all who experienced their own unplanned pregnancies and shared the impact on their relationships.

The Myth That Almost Destroyed My Marriage
I was a relationship with a guy recently we broke up but I have a problem that I m pregnant with that guy. I am really very worried, I cant tell to my parent also, I m very tensed Some one suggested me about “A Woman’s Haven”, the team it seems help us in making an informed decision. We are planning to meet with them.
Really great post, thanks for sharing your Babble piece. An unplanned pregnancy can be so difficult, especially if the relationship is not steady or even has finished. But I think you’re right it is really important that the guy is involved in the conversation and both parties remain mature and calm… however scared they are.

I am currently going through a pretty difficult time in my relationship and this piece of writing couldn’t have came at a more reasonable time, I have been so upset for a couple of months now as me and my partner have ended things. This wasn’t just any relationship, this was a bond between 2 people that I believed to have been incredible (stupid me), however, after a while the true colors started to shine and they started to be abusive. they even began to meet up with strangers on dating apps. What would your recommendations be to any person that’s currently aching from a relationship that’s ended due to being cheated on with someone else? The first 5 years of the relationship was absolutely fantastic, it was excellent in fact, both of us would go to the cinema, go for cock tails, be very touchy, but it’s almost like they changed overnight into a different human being. Be good to receive a response from you… (I do honestly need it). x
