Girls advice only ...About Pregnancy

Of Course she is too young she is 15 years old. Seriously you need to reconsider this. Ohh yeah you found out about a thing called ovulation- that is unbelievable. You have only just found out there is something called “ovulation” and you think you are ready for a baby? Obviously not

**”” baby the first year cost 10,000 dollars, that is NOT including the medical bills and doctor bills. Where are you going to find 10,000 dollars? Even with a minimum wage job you will not make that much money. You don’t have health insurance (a pregnancy is not covered on your parents health insurance) and doctor visits can cost as much as 200 every time you see them (which is once a month and every week in the third trimester). Then you have the hospital bill - mine was 9,000 dollars for my delivery.

I’m sick of young girls turning something as beautiful as pregnancy and childbirth into a huge joke. You should not be trying for a baby right now, who is going to take care of it? Don’t say your parents - they did their job by raising you - it’s not their responsibility to raise your child. How are you going to pay for child care, a crib, medical bills, formula, baby food, cereal, clothes, towels, wipes, diapers, blankets, a stroller, a car seat, medicine, etc. You are not thinking clearly my dear.

It’s one thing to “want” and “look forward” to having children. You need to realize though that now is not the time and not the place for that kind of life changing decision.

Here’s some information on the pregnancy, birth, and after also. It’s all 100 percent true and not even close to everything..

The Pregnancy: -the swollen body parts that ache -the constipation -the hemroids -the aching breast -the not being able to get up of the sofa by yourself -the stretch marks -the morning (all day) sickness -the kicks the baby gives to your ribs -the frequent urination -the constant pap smears -the blood work -Wanting to eat everything in sight -The bad teeth - a lot of pregnant women’s calcium gets sucked out during pregnancy, you have to take your vitamins and take care of your teeth. You need to be taking prenatal vitamins daily also. It’s not only important for your baby’s health, but for yours also. A child sucks the nutrients out of you and you need those vitamins to keep yourself healthy.

The Birth: -Your pushing something the size of a watermelon out of something the size of a pea. -You are most likely going to tear, sometimes from front to back. -You get stitches. -You get poked in the back for the epidural -The epidural usually just takes the contractions away not the pressure -The pressure is a whole different kind of pain, imagine all your intestines, trying to escape from your vagina. -The contractions are like period cramps times a million. -The nurses are coming in every 30 seconds, to stick their fingers in you to check for dilation, give you a catheter to drain the pee out of you, and to poke around down there. -You can not eat or drink the ENTIRE time you are in labor. All you get is ice chips. -There the ring of fire, as they call it when the baby’s head crowns, it really does feel like your vagina is on fire and ripping! -90 percent of women take a crap while they are pushing the baby out, you can’t stop this from happening.

After the Birth: -Then afterwards, you have the fun adventure of bleeding for up to 6 weeks. The first time you get up out of the hospital bed after giving birth, blood and fluid gushes from your vagina all over the floor. -You’ll most likely pass blood clots after giving birth too. If you don’t get to the bathroom fast enough, they can fall down your pants leg. -Don’t forget, no tampons! Only big nasty pads for the next 6 weeks! -Your breast will be engorged and sore and will leak milk from anywhere from 1 week to 3 months. It is painful and you have to wear bra pads in order to keep from leaking through to your shirt.”** -Mandyloo
