Yeah a similar thing almost happened to me with a "non-professional" She started hinting she was prego, but would come out and say she was. She was supposed to have been on an injection type Birth Control, but told me later she didn't have one.
I dumped her right there. I told her if she was prego and it was mine and she could prove we will work something out. If not, so sorry. It was all BS, but it signaled the end of our relationship, May it rest in peace.

I've had two non-pros in CR lie to me and tell me they were prego. What was their motivation? I HAVE NO CLUE. They were simply late and decided to make my life hell for a few weeks. In both cases, it was either "yes she is" and "holy shit what have i got into" or BULLSHIT. Turns out, both were lying for any number of reasons.
They are not all angels. And, they are not all that intelligent.
This brings to mind a cultural difference between anglo and latinos. I'm not saying all latinos ditch their Ch*ldren, however I think it goes back to Spanish rule that this is a fairly common route for men to go. The men are only here to make money (many are bad at this too) and don't give a shit about a long-term family. I think the cultural norm - is that the dad is more likely to ditch in the latino househould. However, for every case like this, I see a great tico dad. I guess if you ask the female side of equation, THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS THE SAME.... men are pigs and NOT RESPONSBILE for their Ch*ldren.... observation with opinion....
So, I think latinas operate under the cultural norm that men are "ditchers". Thus, to lie and say they are pregnant only ruins the relationship, but its an oppty to get the guy to empty his pockets to calm her down. Its not rational. Nor is it intelligent. But, its happened twice to me.
