Question - (5 April 2010) 5 Answers - (Newest, 6 April 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Ever since my boyfriend realised my period is late (nearly 2 weeks late) now he thinks im pregnant because my period hasn't arrived, but he is already planning things like how we are going to get our own place because he says i cant live at home if im pregnant. i appriciate that he is thinking of me and just wants the best for me but why jump to stages already when i dont even know if i am pregnant?

this is the first time i have ever been late i usually get my period when im meant to, but i keep trying to pretend that everythings going to be okay and my period will arrive, i wouldn't mind having a baby but i have plans, and a baby is not in the plan right now...why is my boyfriend jumping to conclusions? and i dont even know what to do next because i have a feeling that maybe i could be pregnant...i have not felt ill, but i have been eating alot and sleeping more, my boobs are sore but it comes and goes, also i drank alcohol the other night and threw up everywhere...but i have not had morning sickness or anything so maybe i aint pregnant. what do you think? and what should i do?

i'm nearly five months pregnant and still living with my parents - i don't personally see the harm in raising your family within your family home. Plus, you know your needs and wishes will be catered to regardless and less fear about being abandoned - maybe that's just me. Dunno. Not saying take advantage of the live in babysitters but the first few years, they could be a god send :) Anyhow, like everyone else said ... take a test, its the only way to know for sure.

Get tested to see if you're pregnant first. You can't do anything else unless you know whether you are pregnant or not.

vintage64 is right, you need to take a test. Pretending won't get you anywhere. It sounds like that test will come back positive, of which your boyfriend is aware. The sooner you are sure that you are pregnant, the sooner you can decide what to do. Do you want a baby now? If you truly don't want a baby adoption and abortion are options. Abortion must be decided soon, and the adoption is better to be decided sooner to ensure good placement for the child.

If you want to have a baby, than decide how you want to do it. Your boyfriend seems to really care, but you have to decide what works best for you. If thats living at home than so be it. Whatever the case, you are in this together and Im really happy to hear that you have support. Good luck.

The Realist agony auntGo out and get a pregnancy test, from your doctor would be the best. It is nice of him to take charge like that, that guy is one in a million. Go for the test and until then don't drink till its confirmed that you are not pregnant. There is the possibilty that you are but the late period could have been caused by something else and its best not to just wait around to see.

Maybe try the pill after this or some other type of birth control in this category.

I hope everything works out for you two.

The first thing you should do is buy a pregnancy test kit and find out if you are or not. If you are sit down with your boyfriend and work out what you are going to do, if your not I don't know what birth control you are using if any, but get that sorted.

Also, I know it's called morning sickness, but that doesn't mean it just happens in the morning,
