Pregnant woman defends herself being on Tinder

A woman who is six-months pregnant has defended herself for being on Tinder.

The expectant mum, known only as Caitlin, told The Edge 96.1's radio team that she recently started using the dating app.

'I'm obviously doing all the right things and making sure that health is a priority but I still want to have a life,’ she said.

But not everyone agrees with expectant mum’s decision to date.

'My friends have been a little judge-y – basically I'm six months pregnant,' she said, adding that she is separated from the baby’s father.

As for the men she has dated, Caitlin doesn’t always disclose that she is expecting.

'I don't necessarily tell the guys I'm talking to that I'm pregnant, I certainly don't keep it from them, I mean, when we meet up they obviously see that I'm pregnant,' she said. 

'It is definitely a shock to people I guess.' 

Radio Hosts Mike E and Emma asked listeners to tell them what they think.

Most said they think Caitlin should tell the men she is dating before meeting them.

Others offered supports saying they believe her when she says she is thinking of her baby first.
