Wasn't meant to come across as harsh, but your comment seemed to have little relation to the realities of life for abandoned kids. I get a little annoyed at people who are pro-life because it's a very black and white thing: all life is sacred and abortion is murder. In my opinion (and it is only an opinion) I am pro choice. A woman has a right to decide what she does with her body and no-one should be able to limit those decisions.

My sons girlfriend did not know she was pregnant even when she was splashing her boots.

I had seen her the week before and did not notice. She was a size 8 all the way through her pregnancy. No tummy, no stretch marks. She was actually out on her horse when her waters went.

But being blond, she turned round to her mum and said. "Mum, I am weeing and cannot stop". Not a clue. Still she was let out of the maternity next day to do her GCSEs

I have indeed. I've learnt that some women appear to have no conscious knowledge of their own bodies!

I can tell if I'm gonna get a cold next week. :|

Because it's the only one that I feel strongly enough about to mention. I'm not interested in babies and don't like having it thought of as 'general knowledge' that just because I'm female means I go all soft and gooey at the sight of a sprog.

:p

Generalisation is a pet hate of mine.

I do agree with the person who posted that you should maybe try and build bridges before the birth. If she does keep it no woman can resist a new-born baby so you'll want to see it / her. If she doesn't keep it (it's possible you might never even see it if she does give it away immediately?) then it would be good for her to get family support and try to help her make sure the situation doesn't arise again.

Because she didnt/wasnt showing-trteacle will back me up on this as he saw her few weeks before it all came out (her mum didnt with her up until about 3 weeks from when she was due)
Was still having her periods....so how would she know/any of us tell?
And ermm please dont think ALL women want babies, id ont ta, i dont go all gooey etc over newborns and certainly do not want children of my own, fully qualified nursery nurse means i can hand them back at the end of the day and thats enough for me.
