How to announce unplanned pregnancy?

Long story short, I m just over 4 weeks pregnant. My boyfriend and I have been talking and spending nearly every day together since New Year s, but because of some drama, didn t officially start dating until March 15th. 12 days later, I find out I m pregnant.

He s older than me (I m 20, he s 26) and has a good job and his own apartment. He was a bit unstable in his younger years but has settled down recently. He always talks about his future kids and shows me his friend s babies, but says he isn t ready to be a dad until he s 30.

Basically, I have no idea how he s going to react. I know I have to tell him, but there s constant stress with work that has been bothering him and I m not sure how to tell him.

Do I just say it? Do I do something cute? Act excited? Any advice is great

    Just say it. You don't do something cute or make a big production of an "announcement" when you two have been dating for five minutes and didn't plan on a baby. Neither one of you sound like you're in a stable place to be parents, and you certainly don't have enough history as a couple to have tested anything at all. Don't expect him to stay for the long term.

    Just say.

    - Both of you failed to each use reliable birth control, and playing house means he is going to be a daddy. -

    Do not expect him to stick around.

    And after this pregnancy, always use a condom plus a second firms of birth control.

    guys want birth-control free fun, but they do not ant those surprise babies.
