Hi, I'm a 26-year-old girl. My boyfriend recently decided he wanted a baby, so he hid my pills. A few weeks later... well, I found out yesterday that I'm pregnant... 4 weeks along. Now he wants me to have an abortion. Please help me, what should I do?

    Don't let it be terminated. Life is life.
    Try to work it out together..

    Pff, that's so hard for you.
    Stand by your own choice.
    I wouldn't take it back myself; you both decided to go for it, and he should take responsibility for that too. Maybe he's a bit shocked that it's really happening now.
    Talk to each other.
    Good luck.

    Thank you. In my opinion, it's the parents who have influenced him... Unfortunately, we're now having an argument, so talking won't work.

    Dear Ikkuh,

    Meissie, that's so heavy and emotional. You have to do what feels right for you, girl! I'd say hang in there. But I've been trying to fulfill our wish for a child for 3 years now, and I'm already 30 winters older. But girl, do what your heart and feelings tell you. Don't listen to others. And maybe your friend really needs to get used to it first... it was his own choice. Unfortunately, the people around you can sometimes put enormous pressure on you or your partner. But girl, choose the path you stand by, regardless of other 'well-intentioned' opinions.

    Lots of strength, girl xxxx

    I felt that way at first too.
    My world felt like it was crumbling when my boyfriend suddenly didn't want to be a father at all.
    He wasn't happy about it and begged me
    to have it aborted.
    I didn't do that. It's life, a little soul.
    It wants to be born, you can't just take it away.
    I thought if he experienced the pregnancy up close
    and went to the ultrasounds and could see the baby grow himself, he would get used to the idea.
    And he did. I took a few weeks' distance from him.
    And then I managed to convince him to go to the first ultrasound.
    And little by little, he went to every single scan.
    And he watched our girl grow.
    He was even at the birth and wiped away a tear.
    And now he's a super dad.
    We have 2 kids now.
    The oldest is 5 now.
    And the youngest is 3 and 4 months.
    But well, men often need time to get used to the idea.
    Try to give him the space he needs.
    And slowly involve him in the scans and the midwife appointments.
    Let him see how your baby is growing in the belly.
    Men often need to see it to form a bond with it.
    We already have that connection because it's growing inside us.
    Strength and please don't take your baby away.
    It's also a little soul that has chosen to be on this world.
    It's your body, your decision.
    Greetings, Monieka

    Thank you so much..
    Yes, it's true, it's a little human and I already have a daughter of 6, so a brother or sister is the best thing she can have! My boyfriend is coming today to talk.. let you know what the decision is xxx

    I’ve also accidentally hated it before.
    I posted my question twice because I couldn’t find it anymore. Maybe it’s there too?
