Ladies: If you're not married, what would you do if you found out you were pregnant?

i would talk to my boyfriend about it. See what he says about the situation. I would never get an abortion so i would keep the baby. i would have to get a better job, tell my parents and then they would freakk because they know im not ready to have one. I would raise the baby the best i could in the end. I know most of my friends would get an abortion to just be able to drink and smoke but that shows what kind of person they are

I am pregnant and i am not married. I dont expect him to marry me because i am pregnant. If you get married because of pregnancy i feel that you are getting married for the wrong reasons. I have known my BF for 13 years and we have been a couple for over 2.

He was married once before and has 2 other children. He got raked over the coals in his divorce and needless to say that whole experience has left him with a negative outlook on marriage.

As a woman i would like to get married one day but just because he got me pregnant doesn't mean that we have to get married. I want to try it all before i buy it anyway.

being married has nothing to do with being able to raise a child. if you are big enough to have sex, you are big enough to take care of your child.

i was engaged for a little over a month when i found out i was pregnant. yes, people asked me if i was going to move up the wedding, but i never saw any need to.

dating, engagement, marriage, children...that time line is so outdated. people judge mothers if they aren't married, but in reality they are just as capable of raising a child as someone who is. marriage is really just commitment written down on paper. if you are already committed to someone then a piece of paper shouldn't dictate whether or not you are loved, or if you will be a good parent.

what would change anything really if you were pregnant and not married nothing really its just a piece of paper that's really expensive...but mepersonallyy I didn't want to get married when I was younger I just wanted kids probably cos I was with 2 low life's real @$$-holes...But now I'm engaged and we do plan to marry this summer, In September and in December I became pregnant but sadly miscarried both times. But nw since Im with my fiance I do want to get married b4 I get pregnant but its not a must whatever happens first I guess.

I wasn't married when I found out I was pregnant. I'm not sure what you mean by what would i do. Personally I now have a 7 month old and we all lived happily ever after.

There was a time I would have aborted, but I'd always been really careful, and always was on birth control. When I was in a solid relationship for over a year, my opinion changed to would keep it. Now I'm married, and pregnant after trying for almost two years.

i'm not married & i'm pregnant. i've done the same thing any person who was married would do. i've sought prenatal treatment, ate healthily, and am patiently awaiting the arrival of our daughter. although i'm technically considered a single mother, the father and i are still very much together & have marriage plans in the future. you don't have to be married to have a child. also, if your child did not have insurance (because you were not married), i would seek insurance. we are fortunate enough to be able to put our daughter on my parent's insurance until one of us has a job with insurance that supports her (i graduate from college next year).

Marriage is a piece of paper. I think that you mean not in a committed relationship.

I met my man 13 years ago. We've been dating for 5.5 years. Engaged for a few months. We are common law right now. So my decision wouldn't be effected by that any piece of paper. We committed ourselves to "forever" years ago. I would be having that baby!

I can't believe no one said they would give the child up for adoption.

I am adopted and consider myself luckier to have lived the life I did than with someone who was ill-prepared to do it. I am married, so there are no what ifs for me anymore, but it kind of makes me sad.

im not married and have 2 beautiful children with my boyfriend of 7 years, unless you have strong religious beliefs i don't see the need to get married, what could mean more commitment than children.
