Hi @MrsB123, thanks for sharing. Congratulations! It sounds like you are in a bit of a tricky situation at the moment. What makes you feel worried and concerned about this unplanned pregnancy?
There is no right answer here and you know your husband best - it is difficult for anyone to answer this question without knowing your husband, your relationship together and other contextual factors. What do you think you should do? Will it ruin his getaway if you tell him now? Will you be able to wait until he gets back? If waiting is bound to raise some feelings of anxiety or nervousness, how can you look after yourself in the meantime? Is there anyone else you talk to about this?
Best of luck, we are here to support you
