Please Help, Who Is Most Likely the Dad?
Posted: 06-07-07 14:59pm

I had sex with guy “A” on May 6th My period had stopped the day before. Right after we had sex I thought it was a little bit weird because I started bleeding. I didn’t know if it was from the sex(he was pretty big) or if it was from my period still. This was the only time we had sex.

A week later I had sex with guy “B” and continued to have sex with him until two weeks ago.. the last time would have probably been the 26th.

I took a pregnancy test last Saturday which was the second. It came out negative. I took one this morning, June 7th and it was positive.
Who is most likely the father? I know only a DNA test can tell for sure but who would it most likely be?

Also, I have been drinking, and smoking.. I didn’t know I was pregnant. Will this affect the baby at all?
I am not ready for this.

My uneducated guess would be guy b, only because it's more likely that his sperm would have been present when you ovulated. But you'll need a paternity test to be sure.

Try not to worry about the effect of your past smoking and drinking - there's nothing you can do about it now. But definitely don't smoke or drink anymore. Better to play it safe.

Thank you for the quick answer..

is this what everyone else agrees on too?

Also, is there a way to see who the father would be before I had the baby?

Well, you could ask your doctor about doing an amniocentesis. They will insert a long needle through your stomach into your womb and collect some of the amniotic fluid. They can determine the father, and also the sex (with 100% accuracy), through this method. But there is a risk of miscarriage with this procedure, and your doctor might not agree to do it. It's not a decision that should be made lightly. You should do a bit of research and definitely discuss it with your doctor before making a decision.

Do you happen to remember the day your period started?

The 1st or the 2nd actually...

I wouldn't want to do that if those could be the complications.

But with this in mind.. I am really confused about keeping the baby to begin with.

I thought that when this day would come I would never ever THINK about getting an abortion.

guy "b" leaving for the navy in a month and a half and is 27
guy "a" lives in North Carolina....24

Well, it's sounding like guy b is probably the dad.

We don't really talk about abortion on this forum, but you can go to http://pr egnancy.ehealthforum.com/health/forum168.h tml if you would like to discuss your options. The girls there won't judge or pressure you in one direction or another.

But I will say this: take some time and really think about your options. Try not to rush into a decision one way or another - you might regret it later. You should also discuss this with the potential father and see what he thinks. You don't need his permission to abort or keep the baby, but it might make you feel better if he's supportive.

Good luck, hon. I hope everything works out for you.
