marriage?!

Im 19wks along and 25 yrs old. My boyfriend is 20 yrs old. This ia his first kid and we were only dating a couple weeks before I got pregnant. He has been great this whole time. Ive been sick most of this pregnancy and he been there right by my side helping me. Love him to death but he wants us to get married! Im not so sure that is a great idea but he keeps asking me. So my question is do u ladies believe that juat because ur pregnant you should get married? If I get married I want it to be only once.

I tell him no everytime he asks and he has kind of stopped asking so much lately. I know he thinks he is doing the right thing but sometimes it makes me wanna cry because I cant tell if he is only asking because im pregnant or if he really wants to marry me. Ita probably just the hormones. I know for sure that i dont want to get married just because I am pregnant for reasons like the bad break up!

I agree with the others. Having a baby is no reason to rush getting married. You guys may not even be compatible in the long run and you don't want to put a baby through a bad break up. Just explain to him your feelings on it and give him a time limit t wait on. If he can't wait then you have your answer sooner.

My fiance made that mistake.  She was a crazy B but he married her because they had a son together. Long story short. ..get married for the right reasons.  Just because you guys have a kid together,  doesn't mean you're the right fit.

Do not get married just because you are pregnant. Having a child together truly test a relationship. My husband proposed to me, we had our own place, planned a wedding, found out I was pregnant, still got married, then had our little one. We both agree we should have waited for the wedding after our daughter was born. Not bc we think we wouldn't be together but bc first year of marriage and first year of being parents the same year was EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. First year of marriage we both wanted to shower each other with love but that was hard. Being first time parents we didn't know how to juggle time for baby, each other, dinner, and work schedules. We have been married 3 years and are very thankful for each other. We have been together 5 years. We are expecting baby number 2. But since our wedding didn't go as planned (since I got pregnancy things changed) and our first year didn't go as planned, we are planning on having a redo. :)
