Q. I'm 13 years old if that may change how soon I should take a test. I have many questions about pregnancy, and I don't have much people to turn to. Please help!
A. Most don't recommend taking a test til the day of a missed period. Blood tests can work sooner. Since you're so young, I'd recommend going to some place like Planned Parenthood for help.
Does anyone have any good websites for pregnancy please?
Q. I have hundreds of questions about pregnancy & labor and would like a good website where I can find all the answers to my questions.
A. www.pregnancy.com is my favorite site. It has week by week details on how your baby is and what is happening to your body.
Does anyone here wonder how many people asking pregnancy questions are going to be on welfare in 9 months?
Q. I think I am a fairly observant person. I can't help but wonder how many of the people on here asking questions about pregnancy and sex are going to be eating our welfare dollars in the next year. Does anyone wonder if people actually consider how much time, energy, effort, discipline, common sense, and money is required to be making these types of decisions?! I see some of the questions with the language that is used and I'm not very optimistic about the futures of some of these babies... Has anyone else thought the same thing?
I don't think that you should get pregnant just because you have the ability to love and nurture a child. When it comes down to it, you have to be able to pay the bills and prepare them as best you can. You have to have the money, time, and energy to invest in your children. You have to prepare them to be responsible citizens. Agree?

A. I agree with your observation. Good one. I am amazed by the amount of uneducated youth having sex, and not knowing or caring about the potential risk to the well being of their lives. It seems to me that a lot of parents are ignoring the obvious, and not teaching their children about the facts of life. Worse yet, maybe the parents are even uneducated. Which brings me to comment that I feel our school systems and government need to take action. Whether parents like it or not, the youth needs to be educated. There is a rampage of adolescence pregnancies, resulting in a huge drain on the public tax coffers (if they choose to keep the baby). Furthermore, uneducated youth raise uneducated children. This cycle is hard to break. It's hard enough on the children who have to be given up for adoption, as well as the mother's who have to do so. No matter how wonderful the adopted family will be, the adoptee's usually live with the question of who their biological parents are, and what do they look like. And, the giver of the child will have to live with the emotional ramifications, their whole lives. Most do not cope well with their decision, in the long run.
More public facilities need to be created to educate the community around them as well. I wish they would make it mandatory to have students in high school take a whole family study, involving how to learn to look after themselves in the real world, get jobs, clean houses, proper interaction between a healthy family, and most of all, the truth about the work involved in having a child. I know some city's have these programs, and, I understand they are having good results.
People can wax plenty over how the young of today need to listen to their parents, learn to say no, and need to get involved in a church. It just doesn't seem to be working.

Do you think a lot of questions on here represent bad sex education?
Q. By that I mean younger women asking questions about pregnancy and ejaculation and whatnot.
Do you think this is a sign that parents aren't doing their job?
I'm asking this seriously and I don't mean to accuse anyone of having bad questions. I am new to the pregnancy forum and it is just something I noticed. Frankly, it worries me about what our youth does and doesn't know about reproduction.
Do you think it has always been like this or is it worse?

A. I don't think its only a problem of younger people, I think it is a problem with all people in general. People don't know as much as they should about their bodies, or the effects of things they do to/with them. I believe that the problem lies in the fact that they don't learn what they should in school, and also because appropriate information is not passed down from the parents to the children. I don't think you necessarily have to talk to your 11 year old about sex if you think they are too young to hear about it, but you should teach them about their bodies.
I don't think people take enough interest in the workings of the human body. My high school concentrated on sports medicine, so I had no choice but to learn a lot more about it than a typical teenager. I myself, at the age of 27, did not know enough about pregnancy and birthing a child to prevent myself from having what I think was probably an unnecessary c-section.
The people who come on here and ask questions are at least taking a little initiative. Unfortunately, a lot of questions are answered by people who are as unschooled as they are. Not knocking anyone on here...at least people try to be helpful.
I would say that it's probably always been like this and always will unfortunately.
