I’m 15 weeks and 1 day pregnant today. I’m also young (18), so this wasn’t planned or expected. When my boyfriend’s parents found out, they asked for a paternity test. On my parents’ advice, I agreed to it. Even though I have nothing to hide, it still felt humiliating.

    I don’t know if this can help you feel better about that test but if I was your boyfriend’s father I can assure it would not be about you specifically. Not at all. I mean, as much I can observe what’s going on with young (and with not so young) people around us and even more so on social media, there is a lot of… let’s just say there is a lot of lying everywhere (and no, I’m not blaming girls specifically as it takes two people to make love). So, just to be 100% sure, I would suggest my boy to have that test done it would not matter how much I may already appreciate you as a person and as his girlfriend, there is just too much at stake. I would suggest him to have that test done but I would also respect his decision to ask for it or to not to ask for it.

    Wishing you the best, if doesn’t sound too bizarre coming from a complete stranger ;)
