Alright, listen up, girls. You gotta tell your fella you got a bun in the oven, and it weren’t part of the plan? Well, it ain’t gonna be easy, but you ain’t the first, and you sure won’t be the last. Now, I ain’t no fancy talker, but I’ll tell you how it is, straight up.
First thing’s first, you gotta be sure, real sure. No guessin’ or hopin’. You take that test, maybe take it twice, just to be darn certain. Don’t want no false alarms, you hear? That’s just gonna stir up trouble for nothin’. Make absolutely sure you’re pregnant, no room for doubt.
Okay, so you’re sure. Now comes the hard part. You gotta tell him. And let me tell you, there ain’t no magic words, no perfect way to do it. But you gotta be honest, that’s the main thing. You can’t go dancin’ around it.
- You could just blurt it out, like rippin’ off a band-aid. “Honey, I’m pregnant,” you say. Plain and simple.
- Or maybe you wanna be a bit softer. Start by tellin’ him how much you care, how much he means to you. Then, drop the bomb. “I love you, and I gotta tell you somethin’… I’m pregnant.”
- And if talkin’s too hard, maybe just show him the test. That little stick says it all, don’t it? No need for fancy words then.
Now, however you tell him, he’s gonna react. And honey, I can’t tell you how he’ll react. Every man’s different. Some might be happy, some might be scared, some might even be mad. You gotta be prepared for anything.
If he’s happy, well, that’s just dandy. You two can start plannin’ and dreamin’ and all that good stuff. But if he’s scared or mad, that’s when you gotta be strong. You gotta remind him that you’re in this together. This ain’t just your problem, it’s both of yours.
Tell him how you’re feelin’, scared or excited or whatever it is. Don’t bottle it up. And listen to him too. Let him say his piece. Maybe he needs time to process, maybe he needs a hug, maybe he just needs a good cup of coffee. You gotta figure it out together.
And listen, some folks say an unplanned baby will ruin a relationship. Well, I say that’s a load of hogwash. Sure, it’s a big change, a real big change. But if your love is strong, it can handle it. Unplanned pregnancies don’t always ruin relationships, but they sure do test them. It’ll show you what your relationship is really made of.
If there were cracks before, well, they might get bigger. But if you two are solid, you’ll get through this. You gotta work together, communicate, and be patient. It ain’t gonna be a walk in the park, but nothin’ worth havin’ ever is.
And if he ain’t happy, if he don’t wanna be there, well, that’s his loss. You’re strong, you’re capable, and you can do this on your own if you have to. You got family, you got friends, you got resources. You ain’t alone.
But most of the time, men are just scared. They might not show it, but inside they’re wonderin’ how they’re gonna provide, how they’re gonna be a good dad. They wanted kids someday, just maybe not right now. So you gotta reassure him, tell him you’ll figure it out together.
So, take a deep breath, say a little prayer if that’s your thing, and tell him. Be honest, be strong, and be ready for whatever comes next. And remember, this baby, planned or not, is a blessin’. It might not feel like it right now, but it is. You’ll see.
And lastly, if you ain’t sure what to do next, go see a doctor. They know more about this stuff than I do. They can help you figure out your next steps, make sure you and the baby are healthy and safe. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, that’s what them doctors are there for. Good luck, girl. You got this.
