First off make sure you know who the babys father is before you tell some random guy who may not be...

With my mom she guessed on her own... And with my husband I just told him flat out.... Thats the best way to do it...

See because there is a weeks difference between when I had sex with each guy. I had sex with ex on tuesday the apr.19 and then I had sex with a male acquintance that next wednesday. Things just kind of happened with the male acquintance.

well it's going to ba hard to pin point which one it is... Did you use a concom with one of them... Plus say if you concived 4 weeks ago then you would be 6 weeks pregnant according to the Dr.. There's always going to be about 2 weeks added on from the day you concieve.. I'm 22 weeks pregnant according to my last period... 23 weeks pregnant according to ultra sound. And 20 weeks pregnant according to date of conception.. So it's always diffrent but the date the Dr. Well go by is the date of your last period, so i'm 22 weeks.. How far along are you.. Let us know all the dates of everything and maybe we can help.. Or at least try.. Good luck

there are a couple of updates, I have told the baby's possible fathers and my mother who has been suprisingly supportive of me. Now all I have to do is go to the doctors. I dont really have medical insurance to cover maternity so I went to a planned parenthood center. One of the reasons is I need prenatal vitamins and I had slight bleeding. Also, one of the guys that could possibly be the father told me, basically that he wants me to have an abortion, that he doesnt want anymore children( he already has son) and that he has a girlfriend with whom he lives. Which is very funny to me because we have been together (not a couple) for almost a year. I really hope that this baby is not his. I hope and pray that the child is my ex-boyfriends (the other possible father) we still talk despite the situation and he is willing to go to doctors appointments with me. He is willing to support me through this very confusing pregnancy.
Please pray for the best when I go to this planned parenthood appointment tomorrow that my baby is fine.

Im 7 weeks pregnant. I get my first ultrasound on june 18th. The dates match up with when I would have conceived with the lowlfe. I pray that there is some way that the baby can be my exs, the other guy has no intention on helping me with this child. I wanted to find the little countdown line that I saw on here at one time.

I am now 13 weeks pregnant and everything is fine. I got the ultrasound on the 18th and it said the baby was 8 weeks which means that my ex is the father. He wants to be a father to the baby he just wants a paternity test. Everything was fine at my ultrasound I saw the baby's heartbeat. I just insurance and I will get my first appointment whenever I get my card.

At the time of the ultrasound the tech said I was 10 weeks which is why the she said the baby is 8 weeks. The reason why I had to get the ultrasound because I didnt remember the dates of the last menstrual cycle. I am 15 weeks now and I dont even feel pregnant. I have a doctors appointment later this week to make sure there is nothing wrong with the baby. I plan on getting an amnio to do the paternity test before the baby is born.
Thanks for caring you guys

There is a thing they can do to test whos baby it is while u are pregnant I think.....I saw it on tv but it might of just been made up lol.
They stick a thing into ur stomach n into the womb n take out some cells then they check the dna of the babies against urs and the possible fathers to determine which person is the father.
I could be wrong like I said it was only on tv so it might not of been a proper procedure but u should ask ur doctor about it.
If it is possible u will also need the consent of the ppl u slept with to get samples of their dna if t was only two u will only need one once he is ruled out then u know it has to be the other one.
Hope this has helped
