My Friend Again

My friend is over a month pregnant, and
i'm taking her to a clinic on thursday to
get her a checkup. (i had to tell her
that she needs appointments! She doesn't
seem to know a whole lot about pregnancy.
=/) anyways, is it too early to go to a
prenatal appointment like the one i'm
taking her to and what can she expect?
I'm very worried/excited for her. Her mom
is extremely mad at her and her boyfriend
and has forbidden her to see or speak to
her boyfriend. Talk about harsh!

Thats really stupid of her mother to say
she can speak to her boyfriend.. She
should want this guy in her daughters life
so he takes responsibility for the up
coming baby.... Jeez.. I dont understand
some people....
But yeah she should see the doc asap, and
then the doctor will discuss everything to
her about how often she will need
appointments... I saw a doc every 2 weeks
but thats because I was set in a high risk
factor I think most is every month to
start then every 2 weeks then in your last
month every week. But im not possitive..

Your friend should tell her mother that
she needs to keep in contact with her
boyfriend because he needs to take
responcibility for his child. Her mother
is doing more harm than good by letting
him "off the hook" in a way.
She needs to go straight away, as soon as
a doctor will see her in order to make
sure that everything is ok. Then after
that she will see the doctor once a month
until her 34th week and then she will go
to two times a week until approx her 38th
week and then she will begin to go once a
week and then at her 40th week it will be
about ever other day until she delivers.

A lot of doctors won't see you until
you're at least 8 weeks along. Make sure
she's taking some sort of prenatal
vitamins, they sell them at walmart and
pharmacies over-the-counter. I think most
doctors do monthly appointments until week
28 or so, then every 2 weeks until 36
weeks, then weekly until the end. Oh, and
tell her to get used to peeing in a cup!

oh, believe me. She's tried, and one of
our other friends even tried to convince
her. Her mom is very stubborn and doesn't
listen to other people. But my friend
still sees her boyfriend without her mom
knowing.

It sounds like her mother is just being
vindictive. This boy dared to get her
daughter pregnant, so she's going to be
irritated and pissy about it and forbid
him coming around. She's not thinking
about the welfare of her grandchild or her
daughter needing the father of her baby
around. What a selfish thing to do.

well she needs to keep in contact with him
so she can learn about his family history
so the doctor will know if they need to
look or test for certain things.
