OP - If you can do so in a calm manner, I would ask her if she and BF have discussed the simple plain issues of what this baby will mean:

- Does she have health insurance covering pregnancy other than being on your policy?

- Whose policy will be able to add the baby?

- How many weeks can she afford to be off with a new baby?

- How will they handle childcare?  I hope you have a job and can be clear on what you will or will not do!  What is outlook of BF’s parents as this woukd tell you a lot,

- Will the two of them be able to handle their basic living expenses with a new baby?  Is BF a in college, grad school or has a solid career or more just a job?

I would rather sit the couple down and hear out both their plans and ideas on starting a family AND at least know you also had a chance to share important basic facts of life without any personal judgement of married or not.  You are trying to protect a poor outcome for the three of them.  But know, too, you may not be heard and then you will need to back off and hope for the best.
