KD, how far along are you at this point?

I'm about 5 weeks at this point.

I think the sooner you tell him the better, no better way than just telling him. If you continue to wait, it'll turn into "how come you waited so long" and then add more issues. I'd just do it, or wait one more week and tell him on Mother's day Sunday in some special way. Good luck xo

I think you're right. He'd likely ask that question exactly. I thought I might wait until Mother's Day as well. Timing - I never quite grasped that!

kd, how do you yourself feel about this pregnancy? Are you happy and going to have this baby, with of without your boyfriend? That's sort of more important than breaking news to him....

in the woods - I AM happy. I will most definitely have this baby with or without the presence of my boyfriend. In my last long term relationship I suffered two miscarriages so I was beginning to feel as though I just might be done having another baby. I am an extremely independant woman and I know I can handle this alone if need be.

I am now 10 weeks and am 39 i was engaged but he left me last week....i have 3 kids ages 17...11....10 i was getting an abortion but decided NO man worth me killing my baby...I am older and much wiser and been there and doen that so i know excacty what am getting into. But with 3 grown kids too help<smilz> best thing about us older moms we know how it is.........so have your child with or without REMEMBER NEVER PLACE YOUR HAPPINESS IN ANOTHER HUMAN BEING.

Good for you Tracie. I feel the same way. It's a very strange feeling, however, starting over like this. My 18 year old just moved out on her own this past weekend so I guess its back to me with 3 at home. I spent way too many years depending on my (now ex) husband to make me happy and i finally realized it wasn't going to happen and that i had to do that all by myself. I have never been happier and healthier and ready to take on life's little (or big) surprises! I plan on teling the bf this weekend.

I'm 36, too, and my boyfriend (a very new relationship, when I got pregnant) is 12 years younger. He seems pretty mature in some ways, but still I was surprised how fine he seems with all this, but of course, the baby's not out yet! I don't have any other kids yet, so this was very important to me -- didn't even think about abortion or anything like that. He still hasn't told his friends, which I worry about a bit, but it's definitely better to tell him sooner rather than later (I told him at about 5 weeks, too).

Im 35 and I have three children as well. My man is 10 years younger then I am and he loves children. I got pregnant also had 4 months dating him. I gave him a sticky note while he was watching a football game that said " Congrats you are going to be a daddy " , he cried of joy ! He started kissing my belly, and he would talk to my belly all the time. Unfortunately I had a molar pregnancy and we went through a horrible time. So if you have a healthy pregnancy, dont worry about little things like this. If you are sure of his love for you, everything will work out for you. Good luck ! and Congrats on your pregnancy.

EMO13 - I am sorry you had to go through that. But thank you for your story. I did not tell my boyfriend this past weekend as I intended as I woke to some spotting on Sunday morning. I will call my dr. as soon as the office opens this morning and find out what he'd like me to do. If he wants me to come in, I will ask the boyfriend to go with me.

I had a friend who went through spotting her whole pregnancy. The baby was as health as can be. Adorable baby. Yes take your boyfriend with you today to the doc. They might do a sonogram today to see whats going on. Good luck sweety, Eileen

I hope everything went well at your MD appt (if you went). I found out I was pregnant with my dd4 when my husband and I had only been dating about 6 weeks. Our 2 month anniversary of our first date was spent in the OBs office. We now are expecting our 2nd child in 3 weeks and neither of us could be happier. We both believe things happen for a reason. Good luck to you.

Things are going great! Although I am tired, I'm feeling really good. My boyfriend was in shock for a couple of days, but now he is excited and very involved with future plans. Of course, with Father's Day around the corner, he believes he is ent_tled to gifts... BIG gifts. Like I'm going to get him new golfing shoes so he has another excuse to be MIA for an entire Saturday! Maybe I'll wrap up a paint roller with a swatch of pink and blue!!

I love the idea with the paint roller! I am glad everything is going well. I am 38 and also have 2 older boys 16 & 13 and now have a little girl 8wks old. I was very scared at first, but things are great now and I wish you the best! Are you going to find out if it is a boy or girl?

After 3 girls, i definitley want to know the gender. He hasn't decided yet, but I bet when it comes to it, he'll want to know too.
