Dating while pregnant?
posted 28th Jul '12
What is your take on this ladies?
I ask because me and my baby's father are not together and he has made it VERY clear he wants nothing to do with this baby, which I am totally ok with because he just went to Jail and his new gf is a psycho b**** lol, anyways I have this friend that I have known for about 2 years or so and we have always talked about being together but with him being Military and in Afghanistan it was hard because I couldn't do the whole military GF thing... Well he is home for good in October his contract is up in Novemeber and he still wants to be with me. He knows I am pregnant and wants to put his name on the BC and stuff but idk, would it be wrong to date someone who isn't th father of my baby while I am still pregnant adn than put his name on the BC??? PLEASE NO NEGATIVE OR SMART A$$ REMARKS!

well maybe go on a few dates and see how it works out but idk about his name being on the BC. id give him a chance but take things super slow. dont want to confuse the baby

IMO, it would be okay to date him, but I wouldn't put his name on the birth certificate. Too much confusion if things didn't work out. If you did end up together permanently, maybe her could adopt baby then?

I think if the guy knows the whole situation go for it. It takes a strong man to stand up and take care of a kid that is not his. More power to you momma. But i would hold off on the BC stuff for now/

I think it's perfectly fine. Every situation is different and I would say he's a keeper when he is already able to accept all of that and love you and your kids regardless.

I would. I dated pregnant bc my sons fathers a duechbag. My
boyfriend is amazing to my son and I wish he was on his bx he is everything my son needs in a father. Hes also a veteran of afghanistan!

I think it's a wonderful thing that another man wants to step in and be a good father to your child because obviously the bio dad isn't going to do it but I would make sure he knows what he is getting himself into and that it is gonna last and it's not just words coming out of his mouth before I do something as drastic as put his name on the BC! I might wait till baby is born and a year or two down the road of he is still around and supporting baby as a father should then absolutely. That is always something u can do down the road!

I get what you all are saying about the BC I even told him that that was something we would have to wait and see on, as far as knowing if this guy is serious...I am pretty positive that he is serious about it, I mean this guy was still there for me as a friend when I got back with my ex husband and dating smurf after smurf, while i knew that he wanted to be with me, of course the distance thing made it all so hard. and while that kinda makes me sound like a B**** I think that it happened like it did for a reason because now i know what I deserve and what I desrve is a man like him

I wish you the best of luck

I think you should definitely give it a chance! Pregnancy doesn't automatically doom you to loneliness, IMO. I probably wouldn't put him on the birth certificate, but I wouldn't pass up dating a great guy, either.
