I’m currently 6 weeks and my baby daddy is not in my life anymore and he will never be because he doesn’t want to be a dad.
I’m not looking for a stepdad, just someone I can talk to and be around.
But would it be weird to hang with a guy while I’m pregnant do I even let him know that I’m pregnant?

Honestly it’s best to have the convo always before even entertaining people. There are crazy people in the world and it’s best to get it out the way before they even think they can pull a card

I think alot of men would want to know if the person they are dating is pregnant. By the time you know it, you will start to show and I would think telling him then would be worse.

Absolutely! It can be a bit hard though but those type of men are out there!

I’m in an open relationship and I mention I’m pregnant in the first sentence on my dating app profile! I would just be careful cuz many men have the kink of pregnant women so they could just use you…keep your antennas up 😉

Yeah definitely! Just be honest from the beginning I’ll say. You’ll be surprised that some men are actually very accepting of it x

I can't see why it would be a problem, just mention it to the guy fairly quickly before you plan to meet, then his reaction will tell you what he wants. I would be careful and definitely meet him in public for a few dates first. My uncle ended up getting with my cousins mum, when she was pregnant, even though he's not her biological dad, he's been in her life for 30 years and has been an absolutely amazing dad to her, and a grandad to her children x

My friend met her now boyfriend of 2 years while she was 8 weeks pregnant. They don’t live together or anything and he’s never tried to be a father to the baby. They’re a lovely couple and it worked out great. Do whatever you feel comfortable with but take everything really slow and obviously be safe

You can probably find a dude who wants kids but can’t to be baby daddy.

My uncle dated and married my aunt while she was pregnant with my cousin who’s dad was an A hole and dipped out on my aunt. My uncle raised my cousin as his own. I think you can definitely date. Tons of men date other women while they’re expecting a child with a woman, so pregnant women can definitely date!

Of course you can! Being pregnant doesn't make you any less of a human who needs affection and fun! You do you! I'd only let them know you're pregnant if you are starting to like them. One date? No need. More? I'd mention it.

As long as your up front and the other party is happy to date a pregnant woman then I don't see why not. X

Pregnancy is so lonely in general, do what's best for you, some men won't even be bothered that your pregnant ❤️

Of course you can but if you think it’s going somewhere then I’d be open about you’re pregnancy 🥰 xx

I don't see any harm in dating while pregnant you still able to have a social life if your comfortable with it go for it I would.

Just asked my partner what he would think if he dated someone who was early pregnant he said as long as she let me know straight up I wouldn't see a problem, leaves it in the man's hand to decide if he wants to stay

If your desire is to date while pregnant do what your heart desires but remain true to yourself and don’t accept anything less than what you deserve. Be honest with the individual you’re interested in and take your time. I had my own experience with this topic and I will say it’s possible and it’s your choice.

There an episode of first dates with your circumstances :)
All I remember is an army women if u want to look for it :)

My cousin had 2 boyfriends (neither bd) when she was pregnant with her first 😂

When I was 4 months pregnant I met a guy and we instantly had a connection. Now my daughter is 3 years old and he is the best daddy and only dad she knows. I was not been looking for a relationship. It just kind of happened. But we dated the whole time I was pregnant and now we are married :) buying a home and going to have another baby soon after :)

Yes girl! Go date! & Who knows you might end up finding a step up dad 🙂

I would be upfront. I also would be extremely careful if having a sexual relationship as you may cause risk to your unborn child. I definitely agree you should 100% go date 🥳

Yes if course, but just be extra careful if you do the other when dating lol

Allowed ?u do what u want x

I did !

Yes, u have the right to pursue happiness on every level during ur pregnancy! Let them know ur pregnant and want to date! This is 2022 after all! Do u girl!!!

I was just over 12 weeks when i met my partner. Hes been amazing and supportive since day one. I'm now 35 weeks exactly and he couldnt be more excited. BD is not in the picture either. He chose quick sex and drugs over his son 🙄

You are allow to do whatever you want 😌 I was texting 2 guys at the beginning of my pregnancy, only texting we never met. I found out that I was focusing so much on my new pregnancy experience that I choose to wait. There's not rush to find " the one " being pregnant has been a great experience to me and I think my priority is my mental health and my baby health right now. He hasn't even born but he has teach me so much about self-love.
( I would wait if I were you. Enjoy this experience cuz it never comes back.
But again if you want someone who is willing to support you and bring good to your life, I would say go for it mama! 😌
Life is too Short!
For me I would wait a bit till I go back to the dating site lol
Good luck and stay safe! 🌹💕

IMO it’s best to just focus on yourself and baby so you can prepare mentally emotionally and physically for the change coming to your life. Esp since majority of the time a man that’s interested in a preg woman is just a man w a fetish. If you do decide to date anyway, date someone you known prior to the pregnancy

Yes you should 100% be honest and tell
Him your pregnant so it’s not like your hiding things from him , but me I’m dating and my BD is not there and I’m literally 32 weeks but my partner takes my baby like his own
