Just found out I'm pregnant

You are correct.  The Morning After Pill is only effective within the first 48 hours after fertilization - given that she knows she's pregnant, it's been over 48 hours.

Then there's "the abortion pill" - was it called RU486? - that one works for a while after pregnancy occurs, and would be the best option likely at this point.  It can cause cramping and bleeding, of course, so she'll want to account for a day or two of feeling like hell in her schedule.

Another option is to find a couple who is looking for a newborn and have them provide her with funding for medical expenses, including the proper supplementation and nutrition she'll need.  If she is personally opposed to abortion, this is a way to keep her from screwing up an infant's life before it starts.

Can you do that in America? Man you CAN buy anything over there can't you???

It isn't a bad plan but it ***** a girl up for a long time relinquishing a child.  At least early on in the pregnancy it is an amorphous blob of flesh and not much else.

I worked briefly in Social Services in Children and Families and so much suffering could have been avoided if people just had an abortion so they could carry on their drug taking, drinking and domestic violence without a little person riding shot gun. SHUDDER.

****** up world we're in!

Light-skinned newborns are at a premium over here.  Technically,  you can't buy the child, but you can provide the mother with a very comfortable pregnancy in return for her hopefully handing over the child shortly after birth.

I don't disagree with the issues surrounding handing over a newborn - I just know that some people will see the word "abortion" and will stop reading.  It would be better for the kid in the long run if those who can't care for it and keep it healthy have a chance to at least ensure it goes in proper hands.

Wow, you people have a lot of ******g nerve. Don't presume that you know me or anything about me. The posts you are commenting about I wrote over a year and a half ago. It's amazing how life changes. I said I was bad at taking cuts, not that I don't take them at all. I have health care and all of my counts have been fine for over a year. I have an apt with an ob, but was asking for rips until I can get in to see someone. Telling me to take the usual regiment doesn't do much as my surgeon has me on a different regiment than any of you, or any ds'er I have seen. The advice I was looking for was more along the lines of, my cousin told me I couldn't take prilosec anymore and I take 2 a day, I can't breath without it (or it feels that way) is there something else or is it still ok with us? But somehow that turned into I should have an abortion cus I'm scared and asking for help? So, ya know what I have to say to all you who do nothing but sit on this bourd and talk **** **** you. You have alot of ******g nerve to presume that you know my situation well enough to make that kind of judgement. So **** you fellow ds'ers. I won't be coming back to this sight anymore. I'm pro abortion, but right now, I hope you all burn in hell.

I saw a high risk OB and I took prilosec twice a day throughout my pregnancy,  with my OB's blessing.

You said you were broke.  Is that suddenly untrue?

What regimen does your surgeon have you on?  The one you cannot afford to go see?

 Your original post....- "So, I'm 2 years out and down roughly 225 lbs. I'm horrible at taking vitamins, I hate them, they make me sick. But, other than some mild anemia I have been fine and my counts have been, ok. So, I just found out I am acidently pregnant, And kind of freaking out. Not sure what to do and what to change about what I do take. Or how this is all going to work or if it's even safe. I need to call my surgeon but have no way to get to him as he's over 4 hours away and I'm broke as no joke. Any helPfull tips ideas or input would be nice. Maybe someone who had a kid, or had some kind of complication I can avoid? I dunno I haven't told my family or anyone And am kinda freaked.  thanks." 

Nowhere in there does it mention ANYTHING about Prilosec, and whether you can take it.  You SPECIFICALLY mention your vites and your poor habits of taking them, AND the deficiencies you have because of it.  You also mention you have no way to follow up with your surgeon, and that you are broke.  These are all HUGE warning signs to us.  And you want to come back here and post this dribble in response to some VERY constructive and thorough advice, based on what YOU told us?  Grow the hell up...  You are SO ill prepared to be a parent if you are unwilling to take proper care of yourself, and want to respond in this immature fashion.  Wow.

It's a shame that you didn't mention the prilosec issue in the original post, if that's what you were asking about.  In the original post you say you are anemic, but now you say "your counts are fine"?

Oh, and it's regimen.  A regiment is a military unit of ground troops consisting of at least two battalions.

 

If so many people ALL took your post the same way, the blame lies with YOUR communication skills, not their reading comprehension.  What you wrote was shocking and appalling, and you need to OWN that.

Your post said:
"I'm horrible at taking vitamins, I hate them, they make me sick."  We all read that to say you haven't been taking your vitamins.  How else were we supposed to take that??

"So, I just found out I am acidently pregnant, And kind of freaking out."  We all read that to say you haven't been responsible about OTHER aspects of your life either, and are woefully uninformed about the consequences.  How else were we supposed to take that??

"Not sure what to do and what to change about what I do take. Or how this is all going to work or if it's even safe."  We all read that to say you have been taking -- uh, something? who knows what? maybe alcohol or drugs?  How else were we supposed to take that??  And, by the way, I don't see the word "prilosec" anywhere in your post - were we supposed to DIVINE what you were asking?

"I need to call my surgeon but have no way to get to him as he's over 4 hours away and I'm broke as no joke."  A light-hearted dismissal of contacting a doctor for a DROP-DEAD SERIOUS SITUATION as being impossible because he's too far away (you ever heard of a PHONE consult?) and the implication that you had NO medical care available to you.  How else were we supposed to take that?? 

"Any helPfull tips ideas or input would be nice."  You were given helpful ideas - get on Medicaid, consider adoption with someone else paying for your medical care, consider abortion.  Those were ALL helpful ideas to get you out of your "predicament." 

You didn't like the tone of voice they were delivered in?  Tough **** - it was a DIRECT reflection of your lackadaisical attitude towards a situation which disclosed IMMINENT DANGER (assuming the damage hasn't already been done) to an INNOCENT FETUS.  Most of us don't take kindly to that kind of cavalier attitude towards a baby that you expressed.

IF YOU THINK WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALLY AT FAULT AT MISUNDERSTANDING YOU AND CAUSING THIS BROUHAHA, CONSIDER THAT THE COMMON DENOMINATOR IS YOU!!

Great job as usual.  ***like*** etc...
