My ex gf is pregnant...

Very early lactation can be one of the early signs of pregnancy, Acouwaila. The hormones progesterone, estrogen and prolactin begin stirring soon after conception and cause that response in some women. It's time to confirm the pregnancy with a test, which you can get at the drugstore, and then see a doctor or nurse practitioner, who will re-confirm the test and then go over basic prenatal information.

If your girlfriend is pregnant and she, too, doesn't believe in abortion, can I suggest a very courageous and generous option that I wish 99.9% of unwed pregnant young folks would consider instead? Adoption. There are thousands of couples out there who are ready and willing, financially and emotionally, to adopt that baby, love it wholeheartedly and provide it with the advantages it deserves. Something to think very seriously about.

Best of luck as you face this overwhelming time, Acouwaila. Tootsie gave you very wise advice up there about future prevention/protection. Sex causes pregnancies. I know you already know this, but now you've had that proven the hard way, assuming this isn't all a big false alarm. Much love to you, your girl, and the new life.

First thing you do, right now if you can, is go to Walgreens or where ever and get an early detection test!

I was hoping you'd show up. You have a great presentation and that will be very handy in your future, Dr. Birdgirl.:) Birdgirl,MD.

I think I might like to deliver babies! (And lobby for adoption in the process.) Heck, I'd like to adopt them while I'm at it. Doesn't get much sweeter than a wee babe.

Thanks, Tootise. I always stand in awe of the way you "present," so coming from you, that's a high compliment indeed. Hope you're having a good night and feeling well this evening, my friend! I'm keeping watch over my sister and cannabis.com at the same time. This won't be a night of much sleep, I'm afraid.

get her to drink a 40 of vodka, i know it may sound bad, but i hear someone did it in my town... kinda weird... nevermind... dont do it.

...they got preganacy test for like $2.99 at seven 11...

has she even missed her period?...if not then i highly doubt shed be lactating within the first few weeks of becoming pregnant...

Aww. I was thinking about your sister earlier. Give her a gentle hug from me.
Is she managing to get anything down now? I know how hard this is to watch and how frustrating as hell it is not to be able to do anything about it. I'm so sorry. She's lucky to have you right at her side.
My night is very calm and I wish I could zap you this extra bit of energy I have before I hit the pillows.
And ,thank you for the compliment. It means much from a peer.

Dang Birdgirl, I'm really bummed out for you. :(

Thanks, Toots. I just read her your comment about a gentle hug and she smiled and raised a hand. If she could say something understandable, she would, but that ability seems to have gone away now. Mostly just simple gestures.

She's not really eating much other than some applesauce and an occasional popsicle. I'm going to make your chicken soup tomorrow night if I get to the store on my way home and see if she'll take some of that. I think I may need to feed and nurture her more than she really needs to eat. Her body's stopping those basic functions like it's supposed to on the way to the end. The hospice folks have told us not to force it, but she nodded yes when I asked her about some soup and read her your recipe earlier this week, and so I'll let you know how that goes over. She seems mostly only interested in fluids, so I'm going to strain out some broth or maybe just some broth with a few noodles.

Much love to you, my friend. I'm going to go lie down in there in her room where I can doze and keep an ear out for her. I'll talk to you tomorrow and let you know how the Adventures in Chicken Soup go over at the Bird house.

Get a pregnancy test ASAP!
If she is pregnant, I would really recomend abortion, but I respect your opinions, so if you are against abortion, adoption would be the best choice. But, keep in mind that most adopted children try to find there biological parents later in life. Are you prepared for the questions "why didn't you want me?", "don't you love me?", etc.
What ever you decide, I wish you good luck, and from now on use protection! (just keep in mind that condoms aren't effective 100% of the time, I would know, I am the result of a broken condom, no joke!)
