Q: Pregnancy

i have a friend , and she believes that she is pregnant , but she would rather not go to the doctor to find out for sure if she is pregnant or not because her mom and other wouldn't be too happy about it if they found out they think she is pregnant. she says that she has taken 4 to 5 pregnancy tests and they all came out positive. she also says that she cant sleep at night and she is sick to her stomach almost constantly. what are your thoughts on this ? do you think that just taken a pregnancy test and having them all say they are positive really means shes pregant ? Confused

you are more likely to get a false negative than a false positive...
i suggest getting to a doctor b/c 5 positive HPTs is a pretty sure sign that
she is pregnant
and waiting and not going to the doctor is not only hurting her it could be
hurting the baby...
you have to have prenatal care during pregnancy..
but she has choices and if she tells her parents maybe she can talk through
her choices with them
she is their daughter and they might be upset at first but, they'll come around
