I am four months pregnant and this is our first baby. My husband and I got married last year and we agreed that we will have our first child next year when he finishes his Masters in South Africa. I’m now afraid of telling him that I am pregnant, I don’t know what his reaction will be and how I will handle it? Please help? – Mrs Pee
Dear Mrs Pee
You cannot keep this issue a secret for so long dear, your husband is just going to find out and even if ever he was not going to –he is the father he deserve to know whether it is something he likes to heart or not. The bad thing is keeping it a secret from him.
Of course it is something you had not planned but you are in a marriage and the two of you should be able to sit down and work things out when the unexpected happens. The baby is the responsibility of both of you and you cannot go on worrying about how you are going to take care of it alone.
Sit down with your husband and let him know of the baby. No matter how disappointed he may be, I know the man inside him will get him to appreciate that gift. You should start looking at that unborn baby as a gift from God and cherish it. If you see it as a stumbling block to the plans you had, it will affect your feeling towards that child. You just want to start your future with him/her well.
No matter how badly your husband may react, give him time to take it in and know that eventually he will come to appreciate it. – Aunty Lisa
