    No, you don't have to go in to details (but it might prevent someone else going through the same ordeal as you if you say how it happened). But please don't go, the vast majority of people on here want to help you.

    You absolutely do not need to go into details, you don't have to justify yourself to anyone on an Internet forum, however you do need some professional help and I would suggest maybe you talk to http://www.rapecrisis.org.uk and get some advice from them.

    Good luck and I'm so sorry this terrible thing happened to you, please talk to someone and get some help.

    Not helpful!!

    Why? Because you would? Not all 26 year olds are 'savvy' and 'streetwise' believe it or not. That is why she is asking for help.

    OP, none of this is going to go away, you either need to go to the docs and make up an illness that cannot be seen (women's problems) or tell all to your BF.

    Either way a pregnancy is not going away and in a few months time it is going to be pretty obvious to your BF what is going on and he is going to be even more hurt and angry and think there is more of a reason that you have kept this a secret from him.

    If you don't believe me just tell me.

    Don't torture yourself with people who you will never meet in real life, please get in touch with Rape Crisis now....MSE, whilst sometimes very supportive, is not the right place for you to be seeking reassurance, please contact Rape Crisis.

    I am not blowing my own trumpet here or anything but he worships the ground I walk on, He (against my better judgement) gets up every morning at 6 to make my lunch for work, run me a bath and bring me breakfast in bed as I just recently got a job.

    I haven't told my boyfriend yet, When I do he will leave me and never speak to me again, he will hate me, I love him to bits, he won't want anything to do with me again :(

    Please help :(

    I am very sorry for all you have gone through and are now facing. I think you must be in terrible shock right now and suffering awful anxiety, quite understandably.

    If your boyfriend loves and worships you the way you describe then trust him enough to tell him what happened to you. If he wont listen to you or believe the circumstances of your pregnancy and does leave and never speak to you again then he isn't the man you think he is. Of course it will upset and devestate him but having been together 10 years he should trust you and support you. Not disbelieve you and walk away in your hour of most need. Talk to him as soon as you can his reaction to all of this may not be as bad as you fear.

    This is the kind of news that needs to be broken to someone in private. You may or may not want a friend to be there with you to support you both. Dont tell him over the phone especially when he is at work. You wouldn't want him driving home to help you reeling from what will be a bombshell to him.
