To have a FWB when pregnant?

More would I be than am I, because I’ve not done anything yet.
I’m obviously single, split with baby’s dad and have been chatting with a FWB, but just as friends. Last night he got a bit flirty in his chat and suggested he’d be open to us resuming the benefits part of our friendship. I’m tempted because I do really miss sex, but feel it’s a bit off to sleep with someone who’s not my baby’s father while I’m pregnant.

I don’t know if to just give it a go and if it feels weird then say, nope I’ve changed my mind. I know him well enough to know that wouldn’t be a problem at all.

And he’s definitely single and we’d obviously use condoms.

Let's flip the question.

Would you be interested in having a FWB relationship with a man whose ex-girlfriend is pregnant? If not why?

If you think about it this way you'll realise that it's not just sexual prudishness behind people's response to it. Why get involved with someone whose personal life is already so messy?

Because having FWB means you don't have to get 'involved' in someone else's personal life any more than you want. The pregnant ex-GF would not be your problem or your business.
