DrumRoll 23 Report post Posted November 24, 2012 Don't bother getting married. Use the money to help raise your child! Marriage can come later, not to mention that if things ever go sour it helps not to have tied the knot prematurely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alice 953 Report post Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Congratz again! It'll be fun having another baby here. Sakura won't be lonely now. LOL!You should get married now that you are having a child. If you go thru the commitment of having and raising a child, then you should be able handle being married. Plus, it helps if something happens to any of you. I don't know how its like where you're at, but I know that here...if you're here you don't have any say if something happens. Say...if either one of you were in an accident...then the other would have no say in how treatment or anything else could happen...because legally you are nothing to the other. You're right to wait til you're ready. You don't want to rush into being married before the child is born. It's okay to wait til after the child is born. You don't want to have your girlfriend to get too stressed out while she is pregnant. I speak from recent experience...stress is very bad for her and the baby. Trying to rush into being married would definitely be too stressful. No matter what you do...as long as you are there supporting her then you can make it.Good Luck Edited November 24, 2012 by Dreamcastor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroPenguins 127 Report post Posted November 27, 2012 LOL congratz Koby, you should get married to your girlfriend. If you can have a baby, then why not make a commitment to marriage?We believe in doing things on our own time and don't think we should get married just for the sake of having a baby. Maybe one day though.. Who knows what the future holds.Lol guess everyone shares a different view, I personally would get married first. I guess that might be me thinking old fashion ahahaAll the best man! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Welsh Paddy 38 Report post Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) When my love was carrying our little one, she had exactly the same thing. If it's mild, then they prescribe tablets for it, but if it's anything as bad as my other half got it, you'd probably be making regular trips to the hospital. My other half couldn't eat or keep down any fluids, so she had to spend a lot of the pregnancy being hooked onto a drip. However! Rough pregnancies tend to lead to easy labour! When my other half gave birth, it was so easy for her. There were no problems whatsoever.Make sure you're there for it though, dude. I found the whole thing to be very surreal. Not in a bad way or anything. In a weird way, I got to know my son before he was even born. When he came into the world, he looked exactly how I imagined he would. (I actually had an extremely vivid dream in which he was born. This was several weeks before he was actually born, and he looked exactly the same. o_O)Oh, and I advise you to take any advice you are given with a pinch of salt. Every child is different, and there are countless ways to deal with things. People are bound to tell you to do things a certain way. Chances are fifty fifty that it would actually work, though. Just go about things the way the two of you are comfortable with. You'll do fine. Edited December 9, 2012 by The Welsh Paddy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would definitely say this. Everyone's advice, including one of the doctor's gave advice that wasn't much good. Your girl should already have the mother instinct in her and kind of already know what's best for her. Just be there for her every step of the way and support her emotionally and physically.
