re: Planned Teen Pregnancy

Quoting Sabrina Norvitz:" well if she carries full term her body May not me strong enough to go thru labor (assuming that the ... [snip!] ... the past 3 she lost. the 1st one was at 28 weeks the other two were early on so it didn't affect her body as much as her mind."

You are severely misinformed.

To me it sounds like you're TTC just to fill in an empty hole from your past losses. That is not a very clear decision on to want a child. TTC because you have have 2 losses in the past isn't fair to the next child. A child can not fill that empty hole. Wait it out, and when you're stable with a job, a place to live, and a way to support you're child you'll feel much better about your decision instead of trying now and bringing a child into your life that you won't be able to handle or care for yourself most likely. You don't want to have an unhappy baby because you can't get it diapers, or food, etc. Not a smart choice. I'd do research on how much things cost, birth, etc.

Thank you lol.

Physical Side Effect Of Miscarriage: There are many types of miscarriage and some of them can have serious effects on your body. If you have a complete miscarriage then all products of conception is ejected from the body but if you have an incomplete miscarriage then it means that you need to do a D&C to get the products out of your womb. If not then infection can happen which can lead to infertility or future miscarriage. Ectopic pregnancy can have serious impact on your pregnancy if it damages the fallopian tube. There are 2 fallopian tubes and you can still can pregnant if one tube is undamaged but if both are damaged then it can lead to infertility. This is why when you have an ectopic pregnancy then it is recommended that you get treatment immediately and remove the fetus. Many say that having a miscarriage will have an impact of your next pregnancy but that statement is debatable. If your miscarriage does not have any negative impact on your body then your next pregnancy will not be affected. If you have a miscarriage then it is better that you should wait for at least 3 cycles to start trying again. Again you should take your doctor’s advice because the waiting time can be longer for some women. You need to give your body the time to get healthy and healed to have a safe pregnancy.

You just trumped yourself, I hope you know.

Having had prior miscarriages doesn't mean your body is weak, or that it's more prone to infection than someone that hasn't had a miscarriage. It also doesn't mean that you are high risk. Or that you aren't able to carry a baby to term. And the chances of one (or two) miscarriages making you completely infertile are SO incredibly slim. Something would have had to have gone seriously wrong in the miscarriage process for that to happen.

Even someone that had a stillbirth (which, FYI, if your sister lost a baby at 28 weeks it was a stillbirth, NOT a miscarriage).. that has no indication on whether or not you can carry full term.

Quoting test.my.gangsta!:" Yes I'm 17 and TTC'ing my eighth..... Do you have a job, a house, education, child care plans, insurance plans, etc?"

wait... just a question not judging.. you have 7 children?

Look im 17 & pregnant however it.wasn't.planned.

Now you say you've lost two babies correct? Im so sorry to hear that. But maybe it happened for a reason. Just think how hard it would also be to potentially lose another baby. Just think this thru. "a baby is like a tattoo on the face, you better be fully committed"

Either way good luck.

I understand that you think having a baby at 17 sounds awesome. When I was younger, even at 15, I thought it would be so cool to have a baby at 16-17 years old with my still-current boyfriend. What I didn't realize, though, is how TOUGH it really is. I'm turning 18 in 2 months, and I'll be 25 weeks pregnant on Friday. My boyfriend and I both have AMAZING jobs, we can support ourselves, and we have the support from our family. I'm going to be a legal adult by the time my little man is born, too. We have health insurance, we're not thirsting for money, we both are graduated, and it's STILL so tough. There are so many things about teen parenting you wouldn't even THINK to consider.. Sure, you think,"it's a little baby. how hard can it be? I love kids and there's no way having a child at 17 would cause any issues." That's so far from true, though, and I'm realizing that now. Don't get me wrong, I'm so greatful for my son, and I wouldn't change a thing. I'd do anything for him, and he's not even here yet. But it's so much work to even PREPARE for a child. I seriously just sat in the bathroom and cried for an HOUR trying to figure everything out and think of what's best for myself and my child. it's tough. Don't underestimate teen parenting. I suggest that if you want your child to have the best life possible, you should wait.. I know you don't want to. Your teenage years fly by so quickly though, they really do. And then when you're out of school and settled down more, you can give your 100% attention to your child.
