Love AIBU? Follow us on WhatsApp to dating notified about trending threads. Would it be gross to consider dating? Not looking for financial support or a baby daddy, genuinely just missing the support and companionship, maybe even the attention, of a dating partner.
Obviously would be taking things slow. Or wait to see how the date goes? My mother always said that if I had nothing pregnant to say, I should say nothing. So I will merely say, yes, do tell him. Or other hobbies to make friends if you feel you like companionship? I can't see what you gain by not telling him. Are you hoping that you will like him after the date, tell him, and he won't mind? I'm so sorry if you're missing some companionship but I can't see any dating not running for the hills tbh. Log in to update your newsletter preferences.
Are you serious?
Why wouldn't you tell him? I think you need to re-examine your values and priorities. If you meet up and get on really well dating tell him, if it's not something he is looking for or happy with, he will probably feel like a right arse hole.
Even if he just isn't in the right place to be taking on a pregnancy partner yet. Maybe you could take this time to be on your own, and maybe not complicate life further at this stage with a relationship.
I don't think there is anything wrong with being pregnant and dating but you should be upfront. Also maybe take the time to be on your own and prepare for your baby? Only you know if you are the type of person who always needs to be in a relationship? There are pregnant types of companionship other than romantic maybe make time to spend catching up with friends.
I think if you turned up to a date pregnant having not mentioned ityour date would run a mile. It is natural that you are feeling lonely atm but now really Isn't the time for online dating, which face it can be full of strange ones at the best of times.
My friend met her husband when she was pregnant with her first child. I'll be honest we thought he was weird that it didn't put him off. It worked for them though and 12 years on they only had one more child so it's not like he had a preference for pregnant women. You do need to be at peace with the idea of being a single parent though OP, your child needs to be enough and a man an extra.
Honestly, you're about to become a single mom which won't be easy. I'd take this time to concentrate on getting your self organised mentally and practically. I'm not sure I'd be rushing into the drama of a new dating relationship right now.
What will you achieve by dating now? Few men will want to strike up a new relationship with an about-to-become-first-time-mum. Sorry I'm going to agree with Superstardjs here, all I can say is of course!
Dating while pregnant
Can you not do without a man just for a few months? God people are so frigging judgemental!! Do what you want OP. There was a thread a while back where a pregnant woman was asking about dating someone whilst pregnant and about having sex and the general consensus was that it was a bit "yucky" to put it mildly. And it is quite an important detail not to mention. Please create an account or log in to access all these features. Sharing posts outside of Mumsnet does not disclose your username.
