lies help: I have been dating someone for 7 months and I started the relationship with a lie. - Help.com

I think that to a) relieve your conscience and b) be fair to him, you need to tell him, you need to let him know the truth and decide for himself what he wants to do about it, you cannot build a relationship on lies, explain to him why you lied and hopefully he loves you enough to understand why you lied and you can both move past it together

You know the answer to this already.
A lie is always a lie, not matter what reasons we have for it in the first place ..some are justifiable yet still lies. And the only way out of a a lie is either to keep on with the lie till the day it becomes unbearable OR tell the TRUTH.
Thou much harder to tell the truth now , its the only possible way out..the longer you take , more difficult the pain will be ..esp since theres a kid involved. You and the kid will have invested too much in this as time goes by and the possible consequences cud be much painfull then than now.
Think of the situation when the lie comes off from some one else , you wont be ready with an answer nor justify.
Its always easier when you think with the other persons shoe on.
You wud’nt want to be lied on too would you.
Whats done is done , now do the right thing.. if he loves you enough and if u can justify your lie to his understanding it will be fine.

be prepared thou.
