Q: Boyfriend proposed today- and I said yes... second thoughts?

I love my boyfriend, but we've only been together for four and a half months- and I'm newly pregnant.

For a while I could see myself marrying him now- but this is still new, and I don't want to rush and just get married because I'm pregnant.

I meant it when I said yes- but now I don't know.

What should I do?

I agree with the previous answer. You don't need to get married right away. Have a long engagement if you like and see how things go with the pregnancy and when baby is here. If you still have doubts maybe talk about them.

If it were me, I would go ahead and keep the engagement if you could see yourself marrying him, but I wouldn't make any wedding plans for a long time. I would want to see how he handles the pregnancy and the baby and make sure that we have a solid future together before moving ahead with any wedding plans. But just because you're engaged doesn't mean you have to set a date and commit to plans anytime soon. I wouldn't make any decisions during the pregnancy because it can be such a stressful (and hormonal) time. I would consider the engagement as a symbol that you guys are planning to stay together and be a family but you don't have to make the wedding official right away.

Congratulations on your pregnancy and engagement!
