Dating while preg. Yay or nay?
Whos done that. Did you write pregnant on profile or told once chatting.
Is it gross to date while preg or ok?
Is it risky with guys thinking its a fetitsh for them :/
I just want companionship and who knows.
But feel insecure about stating on dating apps my situation. Most would run for the hills i bet 😄
Whos done it. What advice. Good bad .
Just lonely isolated and would be nice to do stuff with someone. Longterm or not.

I would prioritize the health of my unborn child over having sex with strangers.
What men who are strangers think/want would not be my concern.
Do you have a support network you can reach out to? Friends/family?
It’s gross. I was single and pregnant and it never occurred to me to date. My focus was on preparing for a new baby!
Not to mention the risk of catching an std while pregnant to the baby. The type of guy you will attract will be crap or have pregnancy fetishes. Gross!
Plenty of ways to not be isolated and lonely, like joining a class/hobby etc. they don’t have to be pregnancy related.
It’s definitely risky, you’re at risk of being groomed and depending how much you want the baby to have a ‘dad’ put them in very dangerous positions while they’re too young to communicate.
I’m not saying don’t look for love or partnership or a guy for your sexual needs, whatever it is, but stay vigilant make sure you’re able to stand on your own first and always, and put yourself first.
I wouldn't put it on your profile but tell them in the early stages of chatting to give them a chance to run if they want. I don't think there's anything wrong with dating while you're pregnant as long as you're prepared for rejection and not expecting anything too serious.
I wouldn't put it on the profile for risk of weirdos. But I'd definitely tell someone before the first date, if you get chatting.
If you do end up hooking up with someone (hormones!!!!) then be super careful about condoms etc.
But maybe even just chatting with randoms will help you fill some lonely time & give you something to do 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Nowhere in your post did you mention wanting to have sex but sheesh are you copping some judgement.
I would put on your profile you are only looking for friendship and that this may develop into something more over time. I would disclose the pregnancy in a private message after initial contact but not publicly so you avoid the weirdos. If they still want to meet after that then so be it :)
There is absolutely nothing wrong with looking for a male friend and I have heard of women who get into relationships while pregnant. Just be careful of those strong emotions though as hormones will play a part ;)
In the meantime, ensure you have adequate support from family and friends so this journey is a little less lonely x
Look for a tribe of women, they will fill that void, pick you up and straighten your crown when you need it. I don't think now is the time to chase men, they probably won't give you what you need
