I would just be prepared for the worst. Many guys say they'll step up, then when the reality of impending parenthood hits they bail or else they jump ship once the new-baby euphoria wears off. If you decide to keep the child, you should probably expect to raise him/her as a single parent, especially considering you're not in a committed relationship with the father.

I also already tested I'm 5 weeks from last period.
First you were 7 days late. Then you were 5 weeks pregnant. I called you out on that. Now you are 5 weeks from your last period.

First you were BMI 15. Now you are BMI 18.

First you weren't even friends with the father. Now you're not sure if he wants to parent, implying that he's part of your life.

If you're going to make up stories, at least be consistent.

Folks, I'm giving this one a 4, and only for persistence at that. Otherwise, it would be a 2.

I think now is the time to talk to the father. There is no reason to wait. If you're sexually promiscuous (as it seems that you are), then don't be surprised if he is stand-offish and says that he isn't the father. If you know for a fact that he is, let him know that and tell him that you'll happily take a paternity test as soon as possible. Apparently, you can take one at 8 to 9 weeks.

I think you need to know his opinion of it all before you start making too many plans in any direction. Plus, it's only right. If I had a potential kid out there, I'd want to know about it. (I'm a female, but you know what I mean.)

Edited to Add - I wasn't talking to the poster who I quoted. The post just inspired me to post what I did. Obviously, I am talking to the OP.

Moderator cut: closing

OP has received some good and valuable advice in this thread. (Good luck with whatever you decide about your baby).

However the thread seems to have run the course and is degenerating into name calling and chatroom type posts meaning it is time to close.
