Choosing a name for your baby can be one of the hardest decisions you will ever have to make. Get inspiration from these favourites from last year. If you're having a girl, get inspiration from the top 100 girls' names.

Don't forget! It's a legal requirement to register your baby's birth and name within 42 days of the birth. Some hospitals have facilities so you can register the birth before you leave, or you can do it at any register office at the county council (or London or Metropolitan borough) offices.

I think these aren't suitable circumstances for a termination. Like Zoe said before, adoption is the best way to handle it. Like they say, the anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy! I wish you and others in this situation the best of luck!

Yeah this happened to me. I broke up from my relationship and then discovered i was pregnant a few weeks after i started going out with my new boyfriend. I was scared that he would break up with me because he couldnt handle being a father to a baby that wasnt his, but he supported me and told me never to worry. Unfortunately i did have a miscarriage when i was 3 months gone, but now my boyfriend and i are trying for another.

Oh my.. you need to let her no that its not true.. Dont let her kill the baby. You will both regret it soo much.! You could always adopt the baby and make it your own. be a little family. Just because your not the babies real father you can still be a great Dad to it.
