| If talking to your dad is too stressful, how about writing him an e-mail or a letter. Yes, it would be good if you could talk to him in person, but I know that can sometimes be difficult. It can go a long way, however, if you have a plan to share with him, such as finishing school and how you will support the baby, etc.. Letting him know your boyfriend is standing by you, or better yet, the two of you could talk to him together. This can show him that you are taking a mature approach to handling something as major as having a baby. Let him know very soon so you don't have it hanging over your head....best to just get it over with and deal with it so you can focus on your pregnancy.
In most cases having sex while pregnant is fine. Some women will be told to hold off in the beginning if they have a history of miscarriages, or at the end if there is a history of preterm labor. As margarita_momma mentioned, the baby won't go blind from it. In fact, the baby is pretty well protected.
Learn all that you can about pregnancy and birth so that you can be fully prepared to make decisions that can effect you and your baby. Encourage your boyfriend to become educated on ways he can be helpful and supportive as well. |
