Just curious as to how many men out there would actually get involved (on more than a just sex level) with a single pregnant Mum.. It is hard enough being a single Mum, but now finding myself surprisingly faced with being a single pregnant Mum, and feeling pretty glum on the how the whole dating thing is looking for me now..

hmmm...good question.

For the most part? No, I wouldn't be interested. Then again, in some (strange) way you might be more approachable than a completely single person. It's really going to take someone special and understanding (probably a father already himself) to understand what you are going through, especially to be willing to possibly take on some responsibility in the forseeable future.

You just want to be sure that whatever the relationship, if it gets serious you need to let him know what your intentions are. Just for fun? Long-term? The pseudo-father for your unborn child?

You're in a tough situation, but not hopeless! Good luck!

Thank you for that.. I'd have to say that if I were to "decide" what my intentions are or would be at this point, it would definately be for long term (which includes fun) As for the realtionship with the child, I suppose that would depend at what point I got involved with someone..how close him and I had gotten before the baby was born, etc..I would not ever expect someone to be a "father" to the child, but naturally, if they were around, they would definately be a father "figure"... I am just really doubting how any man would be attracted to a pregnant woman, especially because the natural assumption would probably be that a pregnant woman would be involved with someone, how would they feel about getting "intimate" with someone for the irst time when the are with child..and then even say it does get that far.. and gets serious..what would they tell THERE families etc???? SO many things to think of here..

Personally, I would NOT have any issues with it. Kids are really cool.

Don't feel glum about your situation. their are a lot of men out there that would date a pregnant woman.I have heard many men say that a woman carreing a child is extremly beutifull.Ther are also men out their that want kids and can't.Also if you are in a relationship when the baby arrives,well you know how a child can pull your heart strings.As long as men know you are single you should do just fine,but be sure you get a guy you can be sure of.best of luck to you.

Ya know what- you are in a great position! There is no greater too weed out the bad and be left with the good. There are a few great guys left out there and they are the ones who will have the courage to still pursue you. Stay strong and remember you find your worth in yourself not a man.

You're talkin about pregnant women,- men, dont go out for the first woman that gives you a positive reception. There are plent of women that are on the top half of the desirables who will have the decency to recieve you as who you are. Stay strong! and remember you find your worth in yourself-- not a woman.

I would. I have in the past and he turned out to be a great stepson and I would do it again in a heartbeat as long as we all got along well. I have a friend that she let her son ruin her last 3 relationships. There was no discipline on him from her at all and when the guys tried to set boundries she totally over reacted and that was the beginning of the end for the guys. But if we all got along good, I'd certainly do it all over again.

What kind of timing are we talking? Like, the day after she did the deed with the other dude? Is she gonna keep getting knocked-up by other blokes? Or is she finally gonna settle down and become an honest woman? What do you mean by involved? Like holding her hand between studs? Strange question.

I'll drink to that... so... who is the father... and what role is he playing... are you still involved... how can anyone believe the story... being honest about the situation is HUGE... so creating a thread... looking for a date? Whats up with that... or... are you just trying to fill the void between visits?

hey baby-bear:

There have been two posts this past week that are almost the same as this one. Maybe you should read them, just in case they go more into debth and to answer your own questions.

Hope this helps.

I do understand your predicament at 6 mo pregnant with my daughter i suddenly found myself single. I never even considered a relationship at that time but that's because i was trying to deal with a broked heart but i did have many many men hit on me, actually i have never been hit on more than when i'm pregnant. I was not comfortable with the whole dating while carrying another mans child and i would have to question the motives of anyone who is interested in you at this complicated time, but i know there are good men out there willing to welcome not only one but two people into his life.

Hi baby-bear:

It's really not a whole lot different than anything else; Some men will like it, some men won't, some won't care either way. I often tell people who are frustrated with lack of good prospects that it's not necessary that ALL men/women are into you, unless you're into being communal property. :-P Who cares if some/many/most want someone like you.. Just focus on finding that one-in-a-million One that's truly special, makes your head spin, and thinks you're the perfect one for them, too.

Good luck,
C.

To the OP,, baby-bear

And not to overly upset you but my seasoned advise would be:
To hold off on ALL relationships with new men, the "dating thing" as you put it
until after the birth of your child (and hopefully a healthy and safe birth at that)

Your body and mind are having tremendous and constant change / swings. And your
hormones are in/on or about to be on overload,
you will or about to feel emotions like never before - so why subject yourself
to another man and more complex issues...

Yea,, some men are into pregnant woman ,, some men do want to "save" a woman
sort of like a super hero.. Some have good intentions and yet some others may be caught up
in the moment and not in the reality. And yet some may even find it to be kinky / fetish..

Look BB,, you will not be pregnant forever and it will be best for you to find your NEW man and possibly a father figure for your new child after the child birth (and at that maybe a year) We are told to be careful on who we introduce to the lives of YOUNG children..
You need to be 100 times more cautious as yours is not yet born.. And please be careful
and overlly cautious if you do decide to get involved with a guy and he wants to put "his" name on birh certificate.
BB, as you now know nothing is forever and this is NOT the time to try and make those decisions....

I do wish you the very best

I dated while I was pregnant with my daughter. The father was a do nothing and a lot of the guys I knew before and after dating him knew what was going on. A few of them took me out on dates (even met one's parents and they knew too!), I had to turn down many of them! I even had ex-boyfriends calling me up for dates knowing the situation. I did end up marrying a man (while I was pregnant) that was a friend first, to this day we stay in contact (he lives in another state) and he is even my daughter's legal father as the real father never stepped up! Although we are divorced we have remained friends, he loves my daughter, and is even planning on coming down for my college graduation with my best friend. Anything is possible as long as the man knows the situation and is open to it.
