dgmodel Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 it doesnt matter what you do... it matters what she does... if shes not taking responsibility over it.. then you need to have her realise how much of a great deal this really is... try talking to her about it... then see where it goes from there... with matters of this caliber there is no set protocol... you just have to play it by heart...

pookie23 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Yeah DG...You can only give her so much advice, but the decision ultimately lies with her...hopefully she will make the right one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vixenfoxxy Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Make sure she knows that:1) if she wants an abortion, she should do it soon 'cause the later the abortion, the harder it is to get over, they really are little babies (reallly little but still formed) after like 5 to 6 months. My grandfather was an OB/GYN and he would not perform late 2nd or any 3rd trimester abortions because he just couldn't handle it - they sometimes cry, it's not like a mass of cells anymore. That should creep her out if she's planning abortion.2) If she is planning to have the baby and does not want the responsibility and/or knows she's not gonna make the commitment to it, give her the #'s and locations of several adoption centers (also web sites are great cause she can peruse without feeling pressured) and make sure she knows that she can give her baby to someone who's really gonna care about it.Hope that helps!PS - if she plans to keep the baby or carry it to term, make sure she gets prenatal care (send her to www.plannedparenthood.org for more info and help if she can't afford it) because it's really important both for her health and the baby's!

dub16 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Maybe you should consider explaining to her the amount of time and energy and effort needed to be a parent. Ask her whether or not she would want the best for her child as any mother should. Then help her to explore the options that vixenfoxxy noted. Good luck!

You're going to be scared when there are lives involved in this? Be bold and maybe if it helps you, think about the unborn baby. And if she asks you why you care so much then tell her that you don't want to see her mess up her life and tell her you have a soft spot for kids or something.

aboyfrombklyn Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Just like I'm beginning to realize with my situation with my girl, you have to realize that no matter what you say or what you do, if she wants to do something or act a certain way, she's going to do it regardless of what you say.My suggestion to you is to tell her exactly how you feel about the whole situation and then LEAVE IT ALONE (what I should've done). I'm beginning to do that now. Yeah, it really hurts when I still worry constantly about what my girl is doing, who she's with, where she is, etc., but I'm beginning to realize that all that worrying isn't gonna get me anywhere. I'm just gonna ruin my life by worrying about hers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcid21 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Originally posted by atomicapples he dont know about it... shes very angry with him and dont want to see him nor want to talk to him... I kinda agree w/ Mr. Brigante up there....but I know how hard it is when you're just kind of "thrown" into the situation...being there for a friend who is terminating a pregnancy is probably the worst, and hardest thing I have ever been through....I don't wish that situation on anyone, even if they were careless or immature about their choices....I gave you my advice last night dickersmacker....you can only do so much, and then the rest is up to her....you're not superman.*smooch* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tastyt Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Ditto to what Vixen said... That's really messed up, if she wants an abortion she should get it done as soon as humanly possible... it'll be easier both physically and mentally on her... She really need to wake the fuck up because it's not just her own life anymore.Good luck Apples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
