This is scary!

prettysassygirl:
Don't abort oo,I know a family that aborted for same reason,the first child is 13 years now and the wife didn't get pregnant till now. Sometimes mistakes like this happens.just bear it.my cousins all grown up are three months apart agewise,same thing happened to their parent. People must talk after talking they would kip shut,its that simple, if its for money issue,don't worry u guys would pull through,just manage better and cut your coats according to the size of your pockets.

Thank you all for your contributions, they really helped. We discussed it tonight and both agreed to keep it. I just hope she doesn't fall sick like she did in her first pregnancy (first trimester). All will be well. Man just gat's tighten him belt now

Thank you all for your sincere advice. Has anyone experienced this before? I will like to hear one or two stories, maybe that would encourage us

That was what I thought too o my brother. It's even exclusive breastfeeding and my baby can suck.

Coolcris:
But I thought a nursing mother who breastfeeds her baby very well hardly menstruate, so how come? Please can somebody enlighten me on this.

Thanks for that advise. I just hope I don't do what I will regret in the long run

I already created a thread, find the link below. I just want inputs from the family section.

Greetings to you all. I registered this account moments ago for the purpose of this thread. My wife gave birth almost 4 months ago to our first baby, a beautiful girl. About few days ago, she came down with fever-like symptoms; she was complaining of cold, catarrh, headache, body weakness and nauseousness. I got her Procold and Paracetamol but they didn't seemed to work as the symptoms persist. I went to the pharmacy yesterday to discuss this and I was advised to get her Anti-malaria and Typhoid drugs that are safe for breastfeeding mothers, which I did. She felt a little relief this morning but the nausea feeling and tiredness persist. Yesterday she hinted she was pregnant because she was feeling all the symptoms she felt during her first pregnancy last year. I downplayed this of course! I was like her chances of getting pregnant while still actively breastfeeding is slim as already learnt. But deep down I was worried because we had unprotected sex few weeks back and I mistakenly ejaculated in her. I felt it was safe as she just finished menstruating 2 to 3 days before then.

So this morning, I told her to do a quick pregnancy test. She came back from the bathroom almost immediately she went in, worried to tell me she tested positive. I was dumbstruck! We are NOT prepared to have another child now. We both agreed to have our second child two years after. We even planned to go for family planning last month but I wasn't chanced at all, so I decided we should go before month end.

We are in a dire financial situation at the moment. She hasn't been working since last year; I am fully responsible for the household and the pressure is much on me alone.To help out, she decided to put her skills to good use, so she started a business which I financed weeks ago. I just committed more funds to her business 3 days back. We are trying to improve our finance as a family before a second child arrives so we can effectively take care of them and ourselves. This happening now just put a big hole in that plan. I'm devastated now and I don't know what to. I'M EVEN CONSIDERING AN ABORTION.

Or could it be the antimalarial and typhoid drugs that gave the false positive? Though I will take her to the hospital tomorrow for proper pregnancy test but I need to prepare for the inevitable, hence the need to post this. Kindly advise a bro.
