Why do unmarried couples move in together as soon as the girl gets pregnant?

Why is it so important for them to move in together?Why do unmarried couples move in together as soon as the girl gets pregnant?
Perhaps they do it to be together. Or maybe to give the baby a family life. Maybe they want to share the responsibilities of the baby or be able to enjoy the baby together all the time and not have to ';visit'; the baby. I think it is nice if couples can do that. Why do unmarried couples move in together as soon as the girl gets pregnant?
According to a recent article in Ladies Home Journal, more and more women are choosing not to get married. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel have been together for decades, have children together, and are not married. Not everybody gets married, it's a personal preference and a lifestyle choice. People can be happily committed and living together pregnant or not. I don't know if you've ever been pregnant but it's kind of hard and doing it alone would suck. So whereas a woman may not have needed much support pre-pregnancy, when she becomes pregnant it's really great to have that one on one support making sure you're eating right and the baby's okay and helping you when you can barely get out of bed without throwing up. So to answer your question more precisely, it's so important because it gives the new parents a closer and more supportive relationship as well as ensuring the mother and baby's safety God forbid anything were to happen such as fainting, which is common in pregnancy. It would be terrible for something like that or a fall to happen with nobody around. There's absolutely nothing wrong with unmarried couples moving in together and many live together before becoming pregnant or get pregnant while engaged like one of the other answers states.
My boyfriend moved in right after I got pregnant. We both want to be there to take care of the baby. It's not just the responsibility of the mom to do all the midnight feedings and do most things on her own. A child should have 2 parents if possible! And we plan on getting married but the baby is our most important priority right now!





Edit: We were planning on getting married, but this happened first. We're not together just because of the baby.
So both parents can feel involved! Its the decision of both parents to decide to move in together and its a sign of committing to each other and the unborn child. Working on giving the best start if it doesn't work at least they tried. Me and my partner are not married we have 3 children and have been together 10 years. So i say why not!
I am guessing from the way you stated this question you don't approve. My boyfriend and I are both 18 and when we found out I was pregnant, the first thing we did was make sure that everything we did, was not solely for the sake of the baby. No moving in, no marriage...etc.Although it may be easier to take care of a baby in one house versus two, we do not want that type of stress on our relationship, and honestly, I see us married in a couple years. For some, I guess they just feel they NEED to live together with the baby. But honestly, I'm only 18, I may be a mother to be, but I am not ready to live with a man and child and run a household. (not to mention we are both in college)
Because they most like thought of each other as family before then and the baby made them see they are a family but i don't know to many people that move in with each other because the girl is pregnant but i know a hand full of girls that got dropped like a hot potato when the guy found out..
Because the mother is going to need help. My ex and I broke up before i knew i was pregnant. He says he will probably be staying over a lot so the baby is used to him and to help me. Its not like we're getting married, its for the baby.
This is what has happened to me, for me it was mainly my boyfriend who really wanted too. I think after 2yrs together moving in was the next step anyway and with a baby were starting are own family. :)
Because ';ooopppsss'; happened, and they don't want to look like trash!





If they weren't living together for a couple years before hand, most times that ';relationship'; (screw buddy), won't last!
Because you don't want the baby to be without a mother and father if you can help it. A baby is hard work and 2 is always better than 1.
Nobody ever seems to get married first nowadays. The kids are usually at the wedding with the kids from a previous relationship.
Maybe it's a way for the guy to make a commitment without actually having to make a commitment?
It's up to the couple. If they feel it's best to move in together then shouldn't you just mind your own business? Just a thought.
Hopefully they are planning on getting married and raising the baby together.
maybe so they can get used to living together before the baby is born - they both need to take care of the baby.
So they can both take resposibilty for their baby and both be there to see their beautiful baby grown and learn...

So that they can take care of the baby together and not have to take turns
its so they can be together obvious really
Is there something wrong with it that your asking?


They probably want to raise their child as a family.
Raising a baby is usually a two person job. Hope they get married!
So they can both take care of the baby?
if they both chose to, but hopefully they don't because of baby
well in my case it was the best thing for us. we could put our money together to take care of our kids. and so we can both play our roles in our children life
because wen dey kids r born dey want dem 2 be right der with both mom n dad u know
