baby's daddy is struggling

I'm 14 weeks today and I haven't actually spoken to my partner for a couple of days. We didn't plan baby, but I couldn't go through with ending the pregnancy and up until he told his parents (we both still live at home) he had been super supportive and even affectionate towards baby. His parents kind of rule his life, I'm worried that they poisoned him against being there for me because he broke up with me and then told me he just needed time to think. I can't live with not knowing if he's coming back. What do I do?? TIA

Just try your best and try not to say anything nasty i know how your emotions are everywhere and your just going to be upset but they will be mean and they will call your partner names and its going to be unsettling they might offer other options for you to take but just remember at the end of the day it is your body and your decision dont make any dicisions on the spot think everything through and dont let them tell you he cant be with you because your pregnant hes equally responsible. The two of you have been blessed with a child and dont let no one tell you different. They might be upset and say things they shouldnt but they will soon come around. Put your foot down and tell them that is happening and you need their support. Hope all goes well and you start eating and sleeping better.

Thank you, I'll do my best. His parents have summoned me to a "chat" tomorrow, like they think they have a say. But if he's just going to leave me I don't think I can take those people for an evening.

Dont push him to hard. Ill 11 weeks and my boyfriend still hasnt told his parents. I know how it feels not to have a big support group. I have already told my friends and family. But hes to worried about what they will think. But hes still here for me. I understand how you feel. Your body is changing and you are worried for yourself and your little one. You should try to eat small portions and take gravol for your nausea. Maybe try contacting his parents or friends of his to see what is going on. I really wish the best for you. Hope this is helpful.

Everyone keeps saying that. "he's scared" Is it not possible that I am too? I can barely eat or sleep at the moment, which can't be good for the baby, and my nausea's worse than ever. I am so scared of having to go through all of this on my own and all I ever get is "he's scared"
