A female United Kingdom, anonymous writes:

Hi, Im 26 and Im pregnant by someone who I was just seeing for a few months, nothing serious. It was a mistake - I was taking the contraceptive pill although had missed a lot. I did not want the pregnancy at first however he said he was really happy and that he would support me, and I came round to the idea. We have been friends for years but only started sleeping with each other a few months ago. He always said he was not into long term relationships and we have stopped sleeping together but still meet a lot of the time and he has come to my scans and appointments with me. This is great but I want more from him I want to be in a relationship with him for our baby. I think this is the right thing to do and I want our baby to have both its mum and dad together. Im not sure if he wants this tho and I dont know how to tell him.

Also, up until now I have been really strong when people have been telling me to have an abortion because it will ruin my life etc,etc and looking down on me because Im not in a relationship with the father. But now Im really worried and getting upset by peoples opinions. I know I shouldnt let it bother me. It's not like I dont want to be with the father - I do I just dont know how to tell him.

Hi, It's great that he is supporting you, and I can see why you would want to be with him. What worries me is whe you say you want to be in a relationship with him for our baby, you don't mention love at all. Being pregnant and on you own is scary, but don't be with someone because your scared, you should be really proud of yourself, not listening to people telling you to have an abortion, this is your baby and having it will not ruin your life, lots of people have a baby on their own ahd still have a very good life.
