Dating while pregnant

edited April 2011 in Pregnant
I am 2months pregnant. the dad isn't involved in this pregnancy so I am doing it alone. but i have been talking to this guy and we have alot in common and we both have geniune feeling for each other. But I'm scared about dating someone while I'm pregnant with another mans baby. I dont expect this guy to jump in and take over the daddy job. And i'm scared that he will realize its too much and leave. I need advice. I dont want to go through this alone but at the same time I dont want to get my feelings hurt.

  • I really just wanna cry, I dont want to do this alone. with my first the dad was around but we weren't together and i still did it alone. feeding and changing and burping and all that stuff. I dont know if I can do it alone again.
  • I can't say I know what ur going through but my thought on the "safest" way to go about it would b to continue the relationship as friends...don't let ur fear stop u from having someone there to support u...I'd just b afraid of jumping in too quick. Be completely honest w him tho...that way if things continue to progress well, he won't feel betrayed. Also, forwarn him that pregnancy hormones can b crazy! That's a big part of y I'd say take it slow. If he wants to be with u after the baby is here...he must b a pretty good guy! Best of luck and hope this helps
  • You are strong hun, you can do it! I don't think it's right to tell anyone not to date, but maybe you should really consider the reasons why you want to date him. Make sure it's because of him, and not because you don't want to be alone. And if you do decide to date him, I would take things incredibly slowly, between hormones and the situation. Rebounds are hell too, never a good idea. I hopes this helps a little.
  • Take it slow. Your not expecting him to take responsiblity of the baby. Just because your pregnant doesn't mean you don't deserve a happiness. Good luck hope it goes well. Just be sure not to rush it. But that doesnt count sex lol. not to be offensive lol. ;)
  • We have been talking about taking it slow. And he is accepting of that.
  • Sounds like you have a good man. I hope everything goes well. I am rooting for you. :)
  • I am due in about a month, and from my personal experience, I made the decision to put dating aside for a while. This childs father is also not around, and I think it's best to focus on my life and my kids. You say that you have another child, a son if I am correct, so you'll never be alone! Also, reach out to friends and ask them to be there for you. I am not saying don't date, but if you have to question it, there is probably good and logical reasoning behind it.

    Good luck!
  • I hope you told him your preg...
  • with my first i went thru it alone and then came my boyfriend . he was there for me for me thru the rest of the pregnancy . i mean if he doesnt mind it then everything should be ok . my boyfriend didnt mind it at all . and now we are expecting our first child together . :) . good luck girl .
