Newly pregnant and already unhappy & feeling alone!

I found out just 4 days ago that I was pregnant, after have tried for over a year, I had given up hope. After getting the results, I was thrilled with so much joy & excitement. I turned to tell my boyfriend of 2 years the (what I thought to be) good news and instantly the reaction I got from him drew out all the happiness I had felt for that split moment. I had been staying at my place for the past few weeks after moving from his due to constant arguments and over the past couple days of finding out the results, I felt his energy change drastically, I eventually asked him to return to his place. For half the remaining of yesterday, we hadn't spoken. I received my first prenatal appointment this morning, I texted him the details in full in the case he'd like to show, his response was "I won't be able to make it". Granted, he runs his own business from home, which at times, could be quite demanding, he's also dealing with a lot of stress from prior family issues, plus the constant arguments we have. Is that enough reasons tell me, "he don't think we're ready for a new baby" (after trying for over a year)? I feel like it's a cop out for other plans he may have had in the future that didn't include me. I'm really torn at this point and aborting my baby is not an option. I have a 6 year daughter, in which I raised alone, though, he's been a great father figure since he's come along, he's a great father to his 2 children, I just feel like I've received, yet, another short end of the pregnancy stick. Am I being overly emotional? Please help ladies!!! Any kind words of encouragement would be helpful at this point.

I agree with Courtney and I don't think your overreacting that would make me mad the way he acted after trying for so long. He will come around, just try to focus on this wonderful gift your getting!!!

I think you should tell him how you feel but also listen to how he feels. Just dont stress yourself out too much
