Baby trapping is a term used to describe when one member of a relationship misleads the other and causes a pregnancy, without the misled partners consent. It is a manipulative tactic used to establish or maintain a relationship, obtain child support, or hold on to a partner when the relationship is rocky or insecure. Baby trapping can involve secretly coming off of birth control, poking holes in condoms, or lying about measures taken to prevent pregnancy. It is a form of reproductive coercion and is considered a type of sexual assault. Baby trapping is not a good idea and can be traumatic for all parties involved. It is important to have open and honest communication with your partner about contraception and family planning to avoid any misunderstandings or manipulation.
