    Well the only reason she could be scared is due to the fact she asked me if i wanted a kid and i said no.. That was a few months ago eh..



    So.....you didn't want a child and you went ahead and didn't bother using protection?

    Erm.....WHY????? Did you think you were both somehow exempt from the laws of nature?

    Oh....and try asking her? !!!!!!....if you can't even ask your girlfriend if she's pregnant, how the hell do you think you're going to cope with Fatherhood?

    It's bizarre all this man up stuff... I'm simply asking a question so i have an idea so i can ask her... I don't want to go ask her if it's 100% off the mark.. I'm man enough to ask her and i will.. Not like it's something that won't happen if the ball is rolling.

    Just looking for advice. Not advice about manning up.

    Why did you have unprotected sex when you didn't want a child?

    look OP you said you didn't want a child yet you are not taking active steps to prevent it

    THEN you've spotted evidence to suggest your GF is pregnant

    but instead of asking her

    you ask strangers on a forum

    it's simple really - if YOU don't want a child you do something about it...

    but you chose not to. That's how irresponsible people behave. That's why you're getting the comments you are.

  • Yes it does sound like she is pregnant, she is displaying a lot of the symptoms. Now ask her. ;)

    I don't think you would look an idiot for asking. Lots of signs are there. If my partner asked me in the same situation then i would be happy that he cared enough about me to notice. Although I don't understand why a couple in a good relationship would hide this kind of thing from each other anyway, unless there is more to the story on her part?

    i agree that the use of folic acid is for pre-pregnancy AND during pregnancy so yes in answer to your question she could be pregnant. her seemingly choosing to improve her diet and eat healthily could also be a result of wanting to be as healthy as she can for a pregnancy so again she COULD be pregnant.

    That still doesn't give you a definite yes or no though does it?

    My advice is get off this forum, sit her down and have that chat NOW!.....then come back and tell us!! If it isn't a major problem as you said then what is there to worry about? ;)

    Yes i said i didn't want a kid at the moment but i guess we are at that age where its happening or never happening. To be fair i guess we both wanted it but never admitted to it. I didn't in a vein sort of way.

    Rather absurd the replied :P

    I just want to know if her symptoms lean towards her being pregnant. If so then good, i can ask her and we can sort things out. If not then i can broach it differently. Jesus i feel like i'm some sort of scumbag on Jeremy Kyle reading these replies. Feels good to pay £600 income tax a month to be sinned upon.
