OP here. She is 16 weeks pregnant and no. We would never consider any other option besides keeping our child. He was unexpected but a wonderful gift.

Troll. You don’t find out the gender until 20 weeks.

Maybe you could plan an evening focused on you two - cook something that appeals to her at this stage in pregnancy and get tickets to some virtual concert or event. Help her feel cared for in a way that’s not pregnancy-centric. Just give her some time to process, you know?

OP here. We are broth very excited but she is super worried being pregnant in a pandemic. She is worried about Hong to appointments, working with co-workers ( she goes into work a couple times a month), and giving birth during a pandemic, etc. I know she is happy but the worry is keeping her from being super excited about it.

You express happiness and that you are looking forward to being a father, just not in a crazy over the top way. Acknowledge her fears, yet express confidence that you trust all will work out fine.

OP here. You can figure out the gender earlier. We found out at 8 weeks.

OP here. Meant to say 10 weeks but really we found out around 12. We did genetic testing and found out gender through a blood tests ( NIPT).

Maybe you could encourage her to post on here to ask for Covid pregnancy and birth stories from other women. My Covid baby experience was great and I’m so in love with my baby. I started out nervous too, but the care I was getting as the pregnancy progressed put my mind at ease.

Go into a quarantine type mode so you can ride it out. Both of my daughters had babies over the last few months and that’s what they did and everything was fine.

It was meant to be! Congratulations!!

I didn’t have Covid with my first pregnancy but I worried and obsessed over everything. It will be okay and by the time she’s ready to deliver the Covid situation is going to very different with the vaccine and less crowded hospitals in 40 weeks.

Insurance doesn't cover that blood test unless you are over 35

OP here. We did use birth control but she still got pregnant.

Many people get pregnant on birth control. It’s no 100% effective.

I don't beleive that.

First of all you did not get pregnant. Im assuming you are a male? You can be happy and supportive. If she is still worried after you reassiring her maybe she can talk to someone about her feelings?

Congrats

You know what he means. Plus, he said they’re expecting. That’s normal to say “ we’re expecting..” They are both expecting, not just her.

No, he said WE ARE PREGNANT RIGHT THERE! NO He is not. Only his wife is pregnant!!!!!! It is one of my pet peeves. The other is "I have TWO twins" .

It's an unplanned pregnancy. I didn't know lesbian sex can cause someone to get pregnant.

Are u the op? You literally said WE are pregnant. My question was rhetorical. And soon two women will be able to have a baby

Two women will never be able to have a baby without the help of a man.

Yes you need the sperm but, one day perhaps not.
