It's ideal but i dont think you should get married just because youre pregnant or try to basically in a sense tell a man he needs to propose. Neither are good reasons to get married and usually dont end well. I wouldnt want to be married under those circumstances. Just be patient and the time will come. Ya never know,he may have already been planning to ask.

My boyfriend had mentioned it when we found out we were pregnant. I said if you wanted to marry me it would have came up before I got pregnant not because I'm pregnant now. So I said after the baby. I just don't feel like stressing over planning a wedding whike pregnant and wondering what could I find to fit in. I also wanted my wedding to be out of state so it's just better that I'm not pregnant trying to do all that.

My husband and I were pregnant before we got married. I would have married him regardless. But for me, I just really wanted the same last names on the birth certificate. It really bothered me, actually. So we did. [: Try telling your boyfriend about your concerns of not being married. It might help him see your point of view.

No its not wrong, you should do what makes you happy! I went on holiday at 19wks, holiday was booked 6months before we found out we were expecting. I was going through the same motions, I wanted us all to have the same name and like a previous poster said I wanted him to be my legal next of kin if anything should happen. A about a month before we were due to fly, we discussed it, made enquiries and within a few days we'd booked our wedding for day 7 of our 14day holiday! Best thing I ever did. No stress, no big fuss with guestlists etc, it was amazing! We'd been together 10yrs and 10days to the day we married :)

Same here. We're already engaged and have plans to get married next year but I want to get married before the baby arrives. I'm only 5 weeks. Not only do I want us to have the same name from the beginning but if anything was to happen to me I would want him to legally be able to make life decisions for our child.(I have a very bossy family). But even then I'm still confused. Do I want to get married with a bump in a rushed wedding or do I want to try to squeeze my fat ***, ******* leaking self down an isle 3 months after I give birth?
I really just want to run away to Jamaica and get married in April but I might not be able to fly by then... ugh.
