Thanks everyone. I am focusing on my family right now. Daughter, baby, and myself. Like I said, I am not dwelling on it. I was up late one night (a joy of pregnancy lol) and just making conversation on a random subject that occured to me.
My family is totally supportive of helping me with anything they can. It is a huge help. Have several friends who are as well. Guess I like the thought of "takes a village to raise a child" :) |

If you don't date, would that be a pregnant pause?

I personally would not be so quick to jump into the dating pool right now. My ex & I were pretty much finished when I was a few weeks into my pregnancy, but didn't officially split up until my daughter was 5 weeks old. I couldn't even imagine starting a relationship during my pregancy. First of all, you just recently broke up with your bf, so jumping into another relationship so soon might be construed as rebounding. Considering you are 4 months pregnant, this must be a very recent break up. Second, & most importantly, you have a daughter who not only has to adjust to a new baby, but would also have to adjust to a new man/men in moms life. It just seems like a little much for a child to have to take in. Let this be a great opportunity to spend very quality time alone with her without anyone else in your way- & before the baby arrives.

Thank you. This gives me anothr prespective on it. I highly doubt I will date. I am soooo emotional right now. One min I am super happy and bouncy, then I am tired and irritable.... lol, not to meantion that is pretty much any guys worst nightmare :p |

There's nothing I can see wrong with dating a woman when she's pregnant. It's really about how comfortable Mommy is when about it.
I have dated pregnant women, If the woman was right, I'll do it again. Who knows, I might find the "one" and be in the position to give a child a positive male figure in their lives. |

DEfinitly nothing wrong with you dating and also no reason why guys shouldn't approach you. I met my ex wife when she was pregnant and it did nothing to deter me from wanting to be with her. In fact it made her more desirable cause i think a little pregnant belly is sexy

I'm curious as to why you're already looking for someone else when you've got a bun in the oven. Are you in a race to have a bunch of kids, do you need saving, or are you dying to get some more action? Those don't need answers, they're just questions that came to mind.

One additional thought. If you date someone who feels protective of you and bonds with your "baby" then you are really going to a number on that person's heart when you probably end up breaking up later.
Most nice guys want to be a "Hero" at one level or another.and would stay with you just because you were pregnant. Do you want someone becuse they want to be a Hero or because they love you? I could be wrong but I feel the 20 year ditch that I see in my age range is often just that; folks who got in over their head trying to do the right thing and once the kid was raised realized that was really all they had together, , had had enough. and end up splitting when they shuld be enjoying retirement together instead of funding their lawyers. |

i find it funny people assume you will forget you have a kid if you date. you all must know my next door neighbor. most moms will kick a guy to the curb faster that they can open a door if there kids need them. and if your pg believe me you cant forget it, someone if not the kid inside you will remind you about it.
i think youll do fine it doesnt sound like you have a guy picked out anyway. and as far as your other child there are classes and you can just ask her/him how involved they want to be. by daughters been to two ultrasounds, we compramized on a name, and wants to share a room, plus do everything but change dipers. so dont worry. sounds like your already a great mom |
