Whose pregnancy is it?

Published by

I broke up with my long-term boyfriend and met another man whom I married within two months of meeting him. I missed my period about the time of meeting my new man. Somehow, I mixed up my dates and I am not sure whose pregnancy I am now carrying. My friend whom I confided to is suggesting an abortion to clear up the mess. Please, tell me whose pregnancy it is and what to do.

Unfortunately, it is only after the baby has been delivered that the actual paternity of the baby can be known through a DNA test. The decision on whether or not to have an abortion will be a personal one. In the circumstances, my take will be to have the baby.
