No, I’m not talking about pregnancy stories, I’m talking about pregnancy in stories as a whole. In my opinion, putting pregnancy in a story can be okay depending on the way it’s represented. What do you think?

I know I don’t, but it’s my opinion. I’m just saying I don’t hate the concept.
As long as its not a plot to create more drama for the story, I’m fine with it. Like if the story is a romance, and at the end they show the MC and LI after they get married and shows her pregnant or what ever, thats cute.
There are very few times I like pregnancy added to the plot tho. Like in attack on titan, when historia (Spoilers) got pregnant to protect herself from being eaten I liked that idea, cause it was for survival.

They are usually so bad and not relevant to the plot on Episode. Like, it doesn’t have to be in EVERY STORY. If you don’t know how pregnancy works don’t do it, and don’t add it just for drama.

I’m actually changing that 
The only time I don’t mind a pregnany in stories is when the MC and LI are over 21 and both want a baby together. Also, I’d rather that the pregnancy happens near the end of a story unless the sub plot is about the two teens wondering what they can do. I think a good example of this can be the story Silver Lining, but I’m not sure. I haven’t read it in so long.

She’s ripping on ME, and I asked for opinions as a whole, not regarding my stuff.

There. And that’s been changed, but I haven’t gotten that far into fixing it, if I had, the fixed version would be published. I DON’T ask for feedback about my stuff anymore, so adding that part was unnecessary.

In general, I’d stop reading a story if the MC fell pregnant. Most of the time, pregnancy is used as a plot device because the author just wants to add drama to the story, and I don’t care for it. Usually, they don’t portray it right at all, and it’s quite harming to glorify things like teen pregnancy (most of the MCs are 18/19) when it is, in reality, a completely life changing and stressful event. If you’re adding it because you’ve run out of ideas, I’d say don’t bother!

I generally don’t like it. Usually it’s just added to make a story longer/have an easy plot. It’s overused imo. I don’t mind it as the ten years later… for the happily ever after or whatever but generally as soon as pregnancy comes into the story, I stop reading. Mainly bc I never want to have my own biological kids so pregnancy makes no sense to me, a mother isn’t n never will b something I aspire to.

Alexandra, I think that you NEED feedback in your story, I’m not saying just necessarily you but like all authors need feedback, it’s a part of writing.
Without feedback, your story will be ill-treated and seemed rushed, not to mention that there will be many coding mistakes and grammar mistakes that you as the writer may not have found but the reviewer could have.
You are the issue that needs to be changed though, the way you react to feedback is awful so maybe you can change your attitude instead

Also here is what I think of pregnancy stories:
I think that if you make the entire story is evolved around this pregnancy then it wouldn’t be something I would read, I’ve read stories where the two lovers only get together because of the baby, and although this book was written so amazingly, what would have happened if the baby wasn’t something that had happened? Then they probably wouldn’t end up together and I don’t think this is a true romance.
Adding bonus episodes or maybe after marriage pregnancy is good, I don’t mind that because then you could do a sequal story which I also don’t mind.
TEEN PREGNANCY is just 
NO!
Do not add teen pregnancy in your book, it is not something that should be set in front of the readers!
And when I say teen pregnancy I mean like 14-year-olds to 18 or 19-year old pregnancy.
THESE ARE JUST WRONG!
