Pregnant

I'm still down for the abortion. You still have time, your in your 6th week and you can do it until week 17 or 19, I forget. Week 26 in Holland actually, that law just passed a couple weeks ago.

Anyways, you also gotta think about this, you smoked weed, might of taken other drugs too, those things are still in your system. They will affect the foetus one way or an other. Hopefully you'll decide whats best for you and for the foetus.

Well, you know my point of view, but it's your life, so do what you think is best, best of luck. ;) And it's pretty cool that your bf is sticking with you, that it didn't scare him off. He seems to be a good guy.

Well i wanted to be a forensic pathologist and perform autopsies. Which would mean doing a 6 year course in surgery then 4-6 years specialising in forensics including a shorter uni course and working with an already qualified forensic pathologist as his assistant.

but now im thinking of doing just a basic foresic course which is only 3-4 years it also means that there is alot more uni's i could attend. i'd end up working in a lab doing like dna testing or something of the sorts u see on csi type of shows.

i also think a psychologist would be cool, but ill look into it

Student Doctor Network Communities
I stumbled across this site one day and it's really great. It's a forum for med students (I liked it because it uses the same format as these forums LoL). Talk to some of the ppl on there that have gone through the course you're interested in. It's a lot better to talk to real ppl who are already doing/done the course.
A word of advice --- they're not overly pot-friendly people, and they're not overly welcome to noobs on their site. But it is a great resourse to have.

It's great to hear that you're being responsible and really thinking through the pregnancy. Really sounds like you got a good head on your shoulders. Good luck!!! :allgood:

Other drugs, maybe.. but weed and cigs actually don't affect a fetus enough to cause damage as long as she quits like now. I know someone who smoked cigs AND weed throughout her entire pregnancy and the baby was perfectly healthy.. just a little colicky from nicotine withdrawls. The placenta has a way of filtering out small amounts of those types of things. My mom smoked cigs with all 4 of us kids and we were all born healthy.

Just because she smoked weed and cigs in the beginning of her pregnancy before she found out, doesn't mean it'll cause any damage to her unborn child. She should not get an abortion based on that alone. Then again, short of being raped or 15 years old or knowing that having the child will kill you.. I don't believe in abortion.
 
Cigarettes basically just put you at risk of having a baby with a few developmental problems.

And weed, in moderation, can be good for a pregnancy. It can relieve some morning sickness, or help with appetite problems.
I can't remember EXACTLY, but it doesn't really effect the fetus other regulating a heatlhy appetite. And THC is in breast milk if you toke, but this also doesn't hurt the baby. I tried to find where I read this, but can't..... damn stoner memory!

My mom quit smoking cigs for my sister and I, but continued toking.

And I turned out fine!!!! What??! I did! :biggrin:

The friend I know that smoked during the entire pregnancy, they found out that her placenta outweighed the baby by 4 pounds. It was filled with THC when they did testing on it. That's why it doesn't have any real effect on the baby.
 
My little sis is 7 months pregnant, she's 15...she gets high still, once or twice a week and smokes cigs, but it has had no effect on the baby. As a matter of fact, Jayson is a little bigger than he should be right now and he is extremely healthy.

Lets see how many other harmful things she can do before negative results show, hm?

Abortion is not funny, not even the thought of it...it's murder. If you get pregnant and don't want the kid, why kill it? There are plenty of people out there who would love to adopt a baby because they can't have one.
 
Really, the only things they have actually proven that smoking cigs can cause is premature birth and low birth weight.

As for weed, the only thing they have proven is that the babies learning skills tend to be a bit slower for the first few weeks.

The worst drug to do when you are pregnant is still, by far, alcohol.

I still recommend her to stop smoking cigs all together and cut back almost completely on weed, if not completely. My only point in saying these things was that she didn't know she was pregnant when she was smoking. The baby will be fine. Just because she was smoking for the first month or so of pregnancy is no reason to abort it.

Exactly. My friends cousin is also pregnant and I think she is fucking stupid....she drinks like a frickin fish!!! She and my sis are both 7 months. Jayson is twice the size of her baby.

Actually, the weed probably won't get passed on to her baby, especially since it's just metabolites of THC stored in her fat cells until they can pass through...
Even if it does, at that point the THC won't be enough to harm the baby, shit, if THC even harms fetuses (feti?) is still debated, (but i WOULD NOT RISK IT)... Other drugs I don;t know...

Yea, but seriously, cig's can cause really devastating effects sometimes... not always, but quiting smoking is a good idea...
Alcohol on the other hand is VERY dangerious, maybe even more so that crack or cocaine... (many doctors speculate, bottom line, don't do shit when you are preagnant...)

Actually some some studies show that weed increases learning ability in babies, but others show it decreases it...
the information out there is very inconclusive, and the effects on both spectrums is minimal...

wow that is stupid...
it pisses me off... really, it pisses me off a lot...
 
i think the only time someone should get an abortion is if the pregnancy goes wrong early and it is life threatening to the mother, or if the mother is a victim of rape, any other time, suck it up, deal with it, if you wanna have sex, you gotta accept the consequences.
 
Personaly, I'd look into abortion or adoption at such a young age.You've known the guy for 4 years so you met him when you were what...14 or 15? I dunno....my experience has been that people change dramaticly during their twenties, when they finaly detach from the nest and have to enter the big bad world. Also, why bring an entire new life form that you will be responsible for the next 20 years, and reaslisticly speaking, for THE REST of your adult life, when you neither have the financial, educational, or life experience NEEDED to give that lifeform the best chance of survival and sucess as possible? You were usig birth control, OBVIOUSLEY you did NOT WANT to have a child, and for good reason too. WHich child do you think has a better chance at making it in the world? A child born to a kid with (possibly) a high school diploma, or a child born to a woman with a PHD, a husband, and cash in the bank? As tokinpunk says, just because you have kids doesnt mean your life is put on hold. But evauluate your goals and life dreams when you were on the pill and not pregnant, and compare them, realisticly, to what is possible now that you ARE pregnant. JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER, im not trying to be a dick or sound classist or put down any young moms. My oldest sister had a kid @ 17, so I have some personal experience with this and just thought id ask the questions that need to be asked ;-) Also, I dont know you OR your guy, OR Australian culture :p SO what the fuck do I know. Best of luck to you!
As for the genius who said there are plenty of people wanting to adopt babies, someone already mentioned it, but maybe you aught go spend soe time talking to the millions of prhpans we already have in adoption homes and foster care? Are you rpepared to take them all into your home?
Id also like to mention that my GF and I talk about this all the time. Im 23 and shes 21, and neither of us even WANTS children at the moment, but we decided if we ever did, it would be at a time when BOTH of us were established in a career, long enough in the future to after (if) we are married, when we both felt our lives were settled enough to bring a new one into the world. Sometimes people make mistakes, or sometimes accidents happen. My GF uses the pill, and (sorry if this is too personal) I always pull out before happy hour begins (And we never do the boogie if shes not on the pill and there are no condoms around). But you never know, somehow, someway, she may become pregnant. Now, everyone here who has a BF/GF should take this next bit into consideration, as if you CANT discuss this with your GF/BF, maybe you aught to re-evaluate your relationship. Anyway, my GF and I have already discussed what we would do in case she became pregnant, and that's abortion. (Thank goodness im not religous) Im also a realistic....she may have different feelings if she truley DID become pregnant (althogh I doubt it...she really doesnt want kids LOL). But the fact that we talk about it helps us to plan for accidents and also is a bit relieving knowing we have plans in case unfortunate accidents occur. Also, I joke with her and tell her after the alcohol, the coke, Absinthe, LSD, the shrooms, the X, and the mas amounts of weed, my sperm probably isnt worth SHIT nor are there any little semen swimming around.

I disagree with you chico, but I dont want to turn this into an abortion issues thread. That belongs in the debate forum. Lets take it there if you want :p
