Well,I'm not married.
My parents really wanted me to marry my baby's dad but that wasn't an option.
Me and him ended a very short lived fling before I found out about the baby so....
We are still on VERY good terms.He's being a dad to be in every way! A little uncoventional family...still doesn't mean Lola won't be very loved.

I personally dont agree that anyone should get married because they are having a baby together.

I was with my partner for 6 months when I fell pregnant at 19 (he was 20) with our first child. As soon as his family found out I was pregnant they were "so when is the wedding?" In fact his aunt went as far as trying to arrange a church wedding for us.

I have always said I would never get married because I was pregnant no matter what the circumstances and have stuck by it. We now have 3 boys (9, 6 & 4 yrs) and a little girl due next month. Although we were suppost to be getting married in 2 weeks time we (I) decided to postpone the wedding as I didnt want to get married while pregnant and we always said we wanted all our children to be part of the wedding.

im not married and have 2 kids, and personally dont feel the need to get married, although we've been engaged for 6yrs. we're happy the way we are and although i would like to have the same surname as my kids am in no hurry to get married, maybe one day.

I got pg at 17 and when my DD was 8mths we married. Neither of us wanted to, we had no say really. Needless to say it didn't work out, but I don't think marriage was to blame. The fact he was a wife beating w*nker was!

I don't agree that not being married makes it easier to go - it's just a case of walking out the door, piece of paper or not. A baby is a bigger commitment than a wedding.
Nothing will keep two people together more than a baby, but even that sometimes just isn't enough.

Im not married iether and TBH not really bothered if i ever get married. You see my dad has been married 4 times and about to again. Not an example of what marraige should be so i tend to think why put money into something when being fine just the way we are. Every time he has gotten married it all screws up so i just can be bothered with all the fuss of doing it lol

I got married to my ex 4 years ago we had been together for 10 years and had been trying for a baby for 7 years ! At the time i really believed you should be married when you had a child !!

How wrong was i ??? Im now with man who i really adore and im expecting our first and the thought of us being married doesnt bother me in the slightest .
I believe if the child is loved and adored why does it matter if you are married a piece of paper makes no difference !

Me and OH are not married. We've spoken about it. But i know full well that if i wasn't pregnant, he wouldn't wanna get married. OH wants us to be a "family unit" and us all to have the same surname. I told him not to bother asking me if he only wants to marry me because i've had his child. I know that might sound a bit harsh but i dont want our baby to be the only reason he wants to marry me. I want him to marry me because he loves me and plans on being with us for the rest of his life. So, now that he knows my feelings on the subject, i'm hoping he wont ask me unless he genuinely means it. Because i know full well i wont be able to say no to him.
