Why do people on here?
Always assume that when you say you are pregnant or that you think you are they think you are unmarried and living off benefits or don't want the baby?
from my experience on this quite a few people have!! I don't mean to offend others who aren't

I've seen it alot too and it is irritating. I am 19, but i have a job, and so does my partner and we have been together for 4 years and are really steady. We are renting our own house (i cant get a mortgage, im in the UK) and its not from the council and even though it was a suprise, we are happy about it and ready to change our lives completely.
On a question i answered yesterday from a girl who was 17 and pregnant and asking for some advice (she literally didnt put any more than that) the response from some people were vile, calling her an idiot, telling her to have an abortion or give the baby up for adoption. Everyone assumed she was unmarried and wasn't happy about being pregnant etc. One person added to their answer after seeing some more positive responses to her, simply wishing her luck etc that he couldn't believe how people were proud of being unmarried and pregnant. Thats what i call an amazing assumption!! lol. I think some people on here (and its not the majority - because alot of people on here are lovely) just like to put a downer and negative view on things.
Sorry for that rant lol, dont know where it came from. must be the hormones haha!

I don't think that, I got on here asking if I could be pregnant, because I was ttc, and asking for help. I also don't judge anyone. Sometimes people are unmarried, young, living off benefits, and don't want the baby or they are like me ttc. People just need help, those things happen, no one knows anyone's life stories, and should not judge anyone.

I dont think too many people think that really, I have been asking LOADS of baby and pregnancy questions recently and no one has responded badly at all (thanks to all those that have helped so far!) I did get one person randomly telling me that I should get married before having a child...its never nice to have someone elses views forced on you but I suppose this site is kinda about that a bit isnt it? If you have any preg questions feel free to ask me!! Cant say I will have the answer but maybe we could work some answers out between us!!!

i cant say that its happened to me on here, but i know what you mean, i find that young women get that in general in everyday life though, i find that because im young when i walk around with a kid without my boyfriend people look at me like im a single mum and claiming benefits, nothing against single mums and benefits but i have been treated really rudely by shop assistants and they have more a less told me that i cant afford whats in that shop. I have a nice car i dress nicely and i was just taking my nephew out for a look a round, its so bad that people brand all young women as the same x

Not everybody assumes that, i just find it interesting how many people need to make it a point of saying "I am pregnant but i am married blah blah blah" . Pregnancy is pregnancy even if you aren't married and some people do have to have help in life and most of the people on here do want their baby there are just some that are scared.

I've personally never assumed that but unfortunately with the way that morals are headed, it's not uncommon for women to become unwed mothers.
Maybe because there's so many questions, people assume that they are unwed and don't have any family members to ask their questions to.

Because most of the questions start out as " omgz so like my bf and i had sex yesterday and now my tummy hurts, i dont have any money for a pregnancy test and i dont want to tell my mom!! what do i do !! "
