I’m pregnant for a Christian brother

Dear Obaa Yaa,

I am currently pregnant, but the father of my child is a Christian while my religion is Islam. We are not married, and this situation makes me worried about what will happen next.

I am unsure about what to do regarding my religious background and my family. I want to know what steps I should take vis-à-vis my pregnancy, my relationship with the father of the baby, and how to handle our different religions since we are not married.

Zulia, Ashaiman.

Dear Zulia,

This is a very real and difficult situation, and your concerns are completely understandable. You are currently dealing with your relationship, religion, and family expectations.

Take your health seriously by attending antenatal appointments regularly because no matter what happens with the relationship, your pregnancy deserves care and stability. You can also seek emotional support from someone you trust.

Take time to reflect, seek guidance from a trusted religious leader or counsellor, and involve supportive family. This could guide you based on your specific circumstances.

Have an honest conversation with the father about responsibilities and intentions. You are not alone, and this situation does not define your future.
