She should have gone to a doctor, and she should definitely not be cheerleading. It sounds fishy to me, but who knows, she could be telling the truth. If she is pregnant, she needs to see a doctor immediately. If she's already three months along, it might already be too late for an abortion which will be detrimental to her cheerleading career, but in any case, the dates don't really add up. She might not be showing yet if she's three months pregnant, but you would probably notice other symptoms.

yea i agree and today she let a guy give her a piggy back ride ((she was on his back)) and i was like i dont think thats very safe for your "baby"..but yea i dont know im going to ask her why she hasnt went to the doctor yet

She could be in denial. Probably lying though.

yea yesterday i was like your stupid and she was like no im not and i go yea you are your babie is going to die if your like 3 months prego an yu havent been to the doctor yet ((i dont really kno if the baby will die but i was just tryin 2 make a point lol)) anyways all she said was ((while not looking at me)) "well its kinda weird 2 tests came out positive..." and i said WELL THEN GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!!! and then she just kinda changed the subject..shes been known 2 lie about alot of stuff in the past
once she told me and my other friends that she met and knew Carrie Underwood b4 she became famous and they used 2 talk ALL the tyme but Carrie stopped talking 2 her because shes famous now
lmao..yea ryte..

lmao sounds like your friend has a case of the "I need to lie to get attention." First of all for most women the moment you take that hpt or thing you are pregnant you make an appt...of course there are women out there that dont know they are pregnant. but she should have already gone way before 3 month... Do you see a little pooch starting at all...of course all women show and carry different. Ask her why she feels the need to lie to everyone...nobody believes her and it makes her look stupid.

did you ever found out the truth from ya friend

Getting a piggy back or doing cheerleading is NOT harmful to a pregnancy. In fact, you should maintain your regular health/exercise routine! She should go to the doctor though. But cheering and piggy backs don't need to be avoided.

Hi,
PLZ help me ......... plz plz .. i am pregnant. is there any way that i cay drop it... beside going to doc,,, i am just 19. any medicine that can help me... plz tell me plz..

You live the same life you lived before. Being pregnant doesn't make you a China doll, it makes you pregnant. You can still do all the things you did before. Except drink, smoke, etc. If its harmful to you, its more harmful to a developing fetus.

Perhaps she isn't aware of birth defects that are caused by not having enough folic acid. Perhaps she isn't aware of the importance of prenatal care. Perhaps she isn't pregnant at all.

she needs to quit cheerleading if she really is pregnant. i had to quit because of my pregnacy also, so i do know it's hard. it's such a fun spot but it also does risky stuff. such as falling from up high if you are a flyer or being a base or back and the flyer lands on you to hard. also stunts go wrong and people could get killed even if they aren't pregnant.

but you should start going to the doctor asap when you find out.

I am 12 weeeks pregnant right now. You're friend may be lying to get attention, but that would always be a possibility. There are other reasons too.
For example: You do not HAVE to go to a doctor. There is no way in HELL I'm going to one ever and there is no way in HELL I'm having my child in a hospital. It is my choice, I don't see childbirth as a medical issue that calls attention from doctors. She just needs to be careful that she eats the right things and does the right stuff, such as excercise.
Another thing: It's good for a pregnant woman to get exercise. Some women feel they need to be cautious, and it's okay if someone feels more comfortable stopping. She can do her cheerleading well into her pregnancy, and should probably stop when she is in her third trimester.
Just wait and see. She can't hide it forever, you'll find out eventually.

you never go to a doctor while pregnant?
how do you know that child doesnt have a problem in the womb?
what if something were going wrong..what if your child were premature? you wouldnt go to a doctor then?
what if all of a sudden you started bleeding while 4 months pregnant?
you still wouldnt go to a doctor?
its one thing to not look at having a child as a "medical issue" but another to make sure that child is healthy, developing well each month and more.
having a child is a wonderful thing but a scary thing at the same time because so many things could possibly go wrong, which is why going to see a doctor is ideal.

It's my body, it's my baby. I have a right to say no. My mother was birth raped while in the hospital with me, she was cut against her will by people who told her that she just didn't know what she wanted and she was subjected to being used as a model for med students against her will. She said no. They ignored her.
How did we know before ultrasounds that the kid doesn't have a problem? If my child is in NEED then I'll go. If I start bleeding, I'll go. If my child is born at 20 weeks, I'll go. But I refuse to go to the hospital just because something MIGHT be wrong with something that is completely natural. If you want to go to a doctor, I do not disapprove. I'm not saying your choices are wrong. It is whatever makes you comfortable. This is your opinion, and I respect that. There are many things that could go wrong, but I can handle the majority of them if they do. By the time I have this baby I'll be CNA, EMT and in nursing school.
5% of births actually need assistance, even though hospitals force cesareans and other medical procedures on women who are in the hospital. About 27.5% of births are cesarean now. I don't want to be subjected to that because people are tired of me being in labor. If you feel more comfortable going about this with a doctor, that's fine. I just don't share that opinion.
I'm not saying you have to think like me, but I am saying that you should respect my decision like I'm respecting yours to go to a doctor. If you want to see me as neglectful, I guess that's your right, and I can't take that away from you, but it will not effect my decision.

Times have changed.
Hospitals are not the way they used to be many years ago.
Hospitals do not force C-Sections they are actually very risky procedures and do as much as they can to avoid having to give a C-Section unless something is wrong or if the woman needs to have one due to a problem with the baby they they plan ahead before the baby is born. They do not just hand them out like candy.
They do not force medical procedures on to women im sorry for what your mother went through, but these days, we are not medical guinnea pigs for medical students.
Your in the hospital for A: giving birth, B: an injury, C: illness, D: treatment.
They lean toward C-Sections if the baby is crowning, if the woman has been in labor for too long because the child could have the cord wrapped around his or her own neck and could be choking, may poop in the womb and swallow it and that baby could have brain disorders[happened to a friend of my sister inlaws child] they do not want you to be in labor pushing for such an amount of time because of the fact that it is bad for the baby to be in the womb for a lengthly amount of time.
I dont know where your from, but in from Canada. I had my baby in a hospital, was not a 'lab rat' to doctors, i was given an IV which you get as a pregnant women and also some women get a bacteria called..BSP or something like that, which can be transferred to the baby during child birth if not treated. i had it and also had medication running through an IV to treat it so my baby did not get that bacteria, when my son was being born i was snipped because he was crowning, and needed to come out, i also had an epidural, then i was later on given advil and tylenol to help the pain from stitching.
The next day i was out of the hospital and at home with my son. I took him for doctors appointments as well as myself. He had the necessary shots that all infants NEED, and he is healthy.
Your 17 and pregnant as you stated from another post. There are so many obsticles that could come your way which you think you are prepared for but what you dont know, is that with a baby comes MANY challenges that you are in no way prepared for, which i learnt for myself when my son was born.
I respect your decision..kind of but also think it is obsurd.

Saraneth,

I'm sorry those things happened to your mother. She must not have had anyone with her while she was in the hospital to look out for her. If you had to go, wouldn't your mother be there looking out for you?

Yeah, she would look out for me, but begrudgingly. I'd go to the hospital if something was wrong, like if there was a real problem that warranted being in a place with sick people, but there are alot of things I don't like about hospital birth.
For example: The position they put women in is not to make the birthing process easier for the woman, it's so that the doctor can see what's happening. Being put on your back with your legs in stirrups puts the center of gravity for the baby on your lower back, and flattens the pelvis by about 25%. That's where alot of the pain comes from; the fact that gravity and size are now working against you.
Little things like that can make birth easier, which is why I see no reason to go to a doctor unless there is a real issue.
Also, pap smears kind of creep me out. Forceps are scary D': .
