you dont even know me, so dont tell me i dont know about life matters, as ive been thru more stuff than you can imagine
Eh? I didn't even comment on the internet saga I was taking umbrage with your first points about going out during pregancy. Your comments were not only thoughtless, but really naive. You show your age in the things you are saying.
May I also remind you that a big part of the Site is discussions and if I disagree with a point I am also within my rights to say so.
Finally, I do doubt that you have "been thru more stuff than I can imagine." We all have an assortment of life experience, both good stuff and bad. It makes us who we are, but I stand by my comments that you really are too young to be commenting realistically on Jordans situation. As a 23 year old mum to be myself I take the comments quite personally. I really am not willing to accept some child's opinion that pregnant women are unfit mothers who do not love or want their baby if they socialise.

Ive have been through the situation, and i know what i am talking about, so dont block people out of dicussions just because of age. <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
I'm prety sure Jordan isn't burning the candle at both ends...just the night time end! I just think it's pretty shit for you to casting aspersions on her ability as a mum, for having a life.
I'm really sorry for your loss. Having had a miscarraige myself (at around about your age) I know how traumatic it can be. However, they are very common and it would drive you crazy sitting on your arse for 9 months and wouldn't make a great deal of difference to the ability to carry a child.
The main things to avoid that can cause miscarraige I have avoided, as I'm sure Jordan has, but socialising and keeping active are not causes of miscarraige.
My friend (shes now 27) lost her baby at 31weeks. she had been going out every week until 3am, she had not been drinking or smoking or doing drugs. It was the sheer exhaustion that caused her baby to die and for her to have a miscarriage. according to her midwife, this is not a rare thing to happen, as shes seen it happen at anytime during the pregnancy.
Anything that can harm the mother, can harm the baby, i think she should just stop n think about things, and if need be, just slow things down a bit.
By the way, my friend has just given birth to a healthy baby boy <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
It's a subject that's close to my heart just now and I feel a real empathy for Jordan. Everyone has an opinion of how pregnant wimmin should behave and they can tend to shove these opinions down your throat, without any regard for the mum to be's feelings. This I feel does more damage as advice is very often conflicting.
I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one or this thread will go on forever!

E.g.
I had my first kid..... i was 11.
Theres no need.
I wasn't getting at you BTW. <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Hunni, just because your daughter was ok, doesnt mean smoking in pregnancy isnt harmful. its been medically proven for it to be harmful. it increases the risk for all sorts of problems, and the baby doesnt have the choice whether to have nicotine, tar and other toxic chemicals go directly into its bloodstream via the placenta. if you chose to take the risk of having a baby at 13 and smoking throughout your pregnancy, thats your lookout, but to say smoking in pregnancy isnt a problem coz your daughter came out `luverly`. well thats just stupid
When is the full moon ? I sense its soon...
