I'm not here to scare you, or to tell you what to do. Just remember two things:
1. Communication is key. This isn't something you should be discussing with us. Talk to her, see what she thinks, and make a mutual decision on what's best for you as a couple.
2. Casual sex is a misnomer; sex has very large potential consequences and even the most careful couple in the world can get hit with bad luck. I'm not advocating abstinence by any means, and when I was in a committed long-term relationship we went condom-free. We did it with the full knowledge that should we end up with a kid we'd be able to handle it. It wouldnt've been the best timing and certain aspects of our lives would've had to change, but we could've definitely dealt with it. That's the sort of thinking that needs to go into this; expect the worst and hope for the best.
