I'm just curious... What do you think about dating while you are pregnant?

Re: Dating while expecting?

    Interestingly enough, I figured " who would want to date the preggo girl and fend off all the questions" but I met an awesome guy in my 13th week.  After going to dinner once, I decided to tell him.  I got all choked up, and was very nervous.   He was extremely understanding and comforting, as he is a single dad himself.  He told me that he is still interested in progressing our relationship.  In his famous words..." You're pregnant, Your life isn't over unless you deem it so."  How profound.  So far, we have been bike riding, to movies, restaurants, car shopping, maternity clothing shopping and baby stuff shopping.  In short, GO FOR IT!!!  Hope this post helps.

    Im expecting my second and FOB and I just recently split two weeks ago. As much as I would love to get myself back out there Im more focused on my babies right now and making sure they are comfortable before bringing someone else into my life. Thats just me though. I dont plan on dating for awhile just focused on my girls.

    I personally didn't date while I was pregnant with my DD.  I ended things with her dad at about 13 weeks and never looked back.  However, if the opportunity rises and that person is good for you, then I say go for it!

    I think it depends on the situation.  I didn't because I was still technically married and I didn't think it would be fair to anyone I dated and I was still grieving.  However, if I meet the right guy before the divorce is final, I think I'll just be honest up front and go for it, now that time has passed.

    As far as just dating while pregnant, I think it's little weird (there's not a single day I felt at all attractive while I was preg.) I'd feel so self conscious the whole time.  But if you feel comfortable with it and so does the other person then go for it.

    First I would like to say that is awesome for you!! So happy for you.

    I also think if someone comes along and makes you happy you should go for it. I had the opportunity to date someone in the beginning but decided to end it because although I knew that he cared for me and the baby (and still does) that I am a package deal now and that he is very flighty as in couldn't make set plans with me and I wouldn't see him for long periods of time. I don't want that for my daughter. 

    Good Luck
