Here we have outlined the Completely Free Dating top ten tips for dating during pregnancy. For further information please read our full article on dating during pregnancy.
1. You can date…
Keep in mind that being pregnant isn’t a reason not to date, so don’t assume you can’t date because of it. If you find the right person, they will like you for you whoever you are.
2. No justification required…
Be aware that some people will have their own opinion about you dating while pregnant, and it won’t always be positive. Remember that you don’t need to justify yourself to anyone.
3. It’s not a secret…
Don’t try to hide your bump and keep the pregnancy a secret from potential dates. They will find out at some point and it is better sooner rather than later.
4. It’s for you…
Don’t date simply to find a father for your baby. You should be dating for you, not for your unborn baby.
5. Assume nothing…
Don’t assume your date will be there for you once the baby is born, especially if you haven’t been seeing them for long.
6. You come first…
Always put your needs first. Being pregnant is a very special time, and it should be as stress-free as possible. Dating can be stressful at the best of times and even more so when you are pregnant, so slow down and take things at your own pace.
7. Build trust…
You should make sure you trust your date completely before you allow them near your baby. If you meet them just before you give birth you might not know them that well, so don’t rush introducing them to your baby.
8. Your very attractive…
Some people find pregnant women very attractive, so you may find yourself getting unexpected attention. Be careful though, as they might only be focusing on your expanding stomach, which won’t be there forever.
9. Take time for yourself…
It is best to take a break from dating towards the very end of your pregnancy, even if you just reduce the number of dates you go on. It is important to take time out for yourself, especially once the baby is born when you will need a special time alone with them.
10. Making time…
If your date was there for you throughout most of your pregnancy, then try to make time for them once the baby is born. It isn’t always easy to date when you have a newborn baby, but if they were there for you beforehand, then they will be there for you after and will understand that your life will have changed.
