Father of my Baby blames me for getting pregnant and called lawyers.


What is the name of your state? Wisconsion

I recently became pregnant from a man whom I was just seeing. In the past, months before I found out I was pregnant, I trusted him and my close friends and confined in them
by telling them how excited I was to one day have my own children. They than blew this out of proportion and made it sound as though I purposley got pregnant with this mans child. The real truth is I would have never wanted this mans baby and one night he and I made a bad decesion while under the influence of alcohol that will effect us for ever. He is know trying to say I did this on purpose and he feels as if he was set-up. I can't help but think he thinks this way due to a dilusional x-friend who lives with him. He has contacted his lawyers and even went as far as to get his parents involved and for a 23 year old man I hardly find that normal. Right now he is in jail for 13 days for breaking his probation, which I had no idea he was on, but I'm scared of what is going to happen when he gets out. Does he have any legal stand hold against me and what can he do? I also attempted to take birth control as the day after pill which didn't work. I knew it was okay to do this because once I was given regular birth control as a day after pil from a doctor so I wouldn't have to pay for the perscribiton which I couldn't afford. Can I get in trouble for this?
Thank you!

Are you asking if you can be in legal trouble for getting pregnant? Absolutely not! The male is every bit as responsible as the female for protecting against an unwanted pregnancy.

If neither of you wanted this pregnancy, perhaps consider making an adoption plan.

I don't understand what his point is. Does he think he can sue you for getting pregnant or something? He's sorely mistaken.
