Unwanted children/unwed pregnancy

In both HBA and Hedda Gabler, there is a mention of children, yet they don't seem to be liked very much....maybe b/c babies are difficult to care for for a young parent, or maybe they dont want to be judged badly, so therefore no kids are wanted. In HBA, i believe was pregnant by Pepe, yet since they weren't married, some may feel that it was wrong and out of order for her to have a child b4 she is married. Similarly, In Hedda Gabler, Hedda was pregnant, yet didnt want to admit it, maybe b/c it was out of her character to admit something like that, or maybe she wants to ignore the fact that she is pregnant.....who knows?????
