Woke up one day and found out that you were pregnant?But at the same time something just hit you really hard on your head that you you haven’t tied the knot yet?

But is it necessary for you to get married just because you are pregnant? If you were to use celebrities as role models, then you would be able to find a reasonable excuse for not getting married. For instance, Stacey Solomon had her first child and is now having her second but she still refuses to get married. Atleast now she is opened to the topic of marriage but what’s her excuse of not getting married instantly? “I need to loose weight.”
But things are different in the Asian context as culture and religion play a very important role in our daily lives. These two essential elements will obviously tell you that you need to get married immediately so that your child can have a better future. But what if you are not ready to do so?

The most essential support you would need if this were to happen is to have solid support from your family members. Apologise for the mistake you have made and do not burden them instead communicate and see how you can work around it.
Well the question still remains if you would need to get married. It completely depends on how you look at the whole situation and how you would want your child to grow up. But here is a tip for you. By having a child, the misunderstandings between you and your partner isn’t going to fly out the window. Things may get worst so make your decision wisely as you certainly do not want your child to grow up in an unhealthy environment.

Answer these questions and see where do you stand.
1) Do you love the man you slept with?
2) Do you feel that he would be able to play the role of a father in the marriage?
3) Do you have family support and do you think that you can raise the child by yourself?
4) Are you ready to get married or are you just doing it because you need a partner to support the child?
5) What type of environment do you want your child to grow up in?
( Please do note that this is just a simple guideline from Lipstiq and all comments which would help other women out there who are going through this problem is welcomed. Please do also note that we are not encouraging women to have unplanned pregnancies in any way or another)
