Can a doctor be wrong when he says that a girl is pregnant?

Question

My friend is in a mess right now because her doctor said that she is 1 month and 2 weeks preggy. He didn't really did any tests but asked her a couple of questions. But my friend said that he hasn't been having her period and are showing signs of being preggy. And the thing is that the father is her ex who is a total asswipe who I want to beat up really really bad. So has anyone experienced something like this? And if she is indeed preggy do you think she should keep the baby? She is only 21, haven't been going to school, so she doesn't have a very visible good future, and I think she is not ready to be a mom yet.

For me, I would opt her to keep it because it is just plain wrong to abort because it is like killing a child. What do you think?

I beg to differ when people say that it wouldn't be killing a baby if its a fetus, it has no brain yet therefore it cant feel anything. - But it has a heart already and intentionally killing something that you know will have life would still be killing someone. Do you guys agree?

Answer 1

She doesn't have to keep the baby, and doesn't have to abort either. Why do people think those are the only options? Adoption! There are plenty of parents just waiting for some pregnant women to go to their agency so they can get a baby for themselves. If she doesn't feel that she can keep the baby, she can give it up for adoption. In the US, there's even a Safe Surrender act where she can anonamously give a child up at a hospital, police station, and some other places.

Anyway, her doctor should have run at least a urine test. If she had to give a urine sample any time when she went to the doctor, they probably did a urine test to find out she was pregnant. If she doubts the diagnosis, she can always go get a cheapie Dollar Tree pregnancy test (get some paper cups too, because they don't provide something to collect a urine sample) and check for herself. Even a Dollar Tree test is more sensitive than the office tests.

What doctor doesn't give you a pregnancy test and tells her shes already 1 month pregnant? They had to of gave her the test, so shes def pregnant. Shes 21 that's def old enough for a baby not like shes 17. does she have some mental disability? Why are you worried about her situation? are you her boyfriend , family member, the father>?
by the way if she does get an abortion soon it wouldn't be killing a baby its a fetus, it has no brain yet therefore it cant feel anything.

I don't thing that doctor just can say without any tests that she is pregnant.Every doctor needs to give you a pregnancy test to confirm it but if the woman did one herself then that could be enough though lots of doctors test..Also examination can confirm pregnancy because the uterus will become bit more enlarged .
You are such a good friend to her maybe it would be wise to tell her to try a home preg. test so she knows 100%.
In my opinion she needs to decide herself if she realy wants to keep her baby but if it was me I would keep it.Even if she doesn't have any school she is old enough and after the baby is born she could study where the schools have child cares for students with babies.Just keep an eye on her and I think now she will need you more then ever.I hope that everything will end up with happy end and you both will resolve together all those worries.

well, with my daughter I continued to have my period, but lightly and then all my prego tests came back neg until I was 9 weeks along it finally went pos. then just recently I was 3 months late all my prego tests said neg. then I was in a car accident had internal stomach brusing, and 2 weeks later I started my period and it lasted for 16 days went to the doc and she said I was mis carrying, I had a pee test and a blood test to see if I was prego and it said neg even though I was 3 months late. I think ur girl should do a prego test or ask for an ultrasound to see if she is and if she is she should keep it. It was kinda the same situation with me, my daughter's dad and I had already broken up before I found out that I was prego... I was 21 at the time, 22 by the time I had her, and I wasn't really ready but I am glad I kept her because she's changed my life in alot of good ways and added alot of happiness.........I don't believe in abortions either. I don't know if this is clear but I hope it helps you guys.....who knows it could be stress too. because they have the same symptoms.....do a home prego test........good luck

Answer 5

well if her dr. only asked her questions that how in the world does he/she know if your friend is pregnant? Sounds weird to me. Usually dr.s give you either a urine test or a blood test right there in the office.
Just tell your friend to go out and buy a pregnancy test. OR you can pick one up for her.

You sound like a really good friend. It's nice that she has someone like you in her life.
Well..if she wants to get an abortion it is her right. and no she is not to young to have a baby. I see what you are saying about her life and not going in the right direction. But everything happens for a reason. I say "if god brought you to it, God will bring you Through it".

But ultimately it's her decision as to what she wants to do with her pregnancy and her body I am not trying to preach but maybe you should sit her down and talk to her and tell her next time to use protection and not to be so eager to have sex if she doesn't want the responsibility of the consequences whatever they may be.

Keep staying there for her. You are doing a good Job!!!

If your friend is indeed pregnant you could help her locate a crisis pregnancy center. They are awesome about supporting and encouraging the mother, and if she wants to do adoption they have a network of people to help and contact. I think it's commendable that you want to protect the life of this child. Sadly, that is very rare for men these days. Many pressure women into killing the babies, or threaten them if they don't.

I definitely don't think she should keep the baby since she is not married. A baby needs a mommy and daddy to provide love, financial stability and role models.

I hope your friend finds a good guy like YOU one day to marry!

God bless you.

Answer 7

I would say yes she is, at age 21 she will be fine! I was 17 and dropped out of high school and raised my 12 year old daughter for 11 years by my self. Sounds like you are a very concerned guy! Maybe you should talk to her and maybe she will let you help her on her journy!

Answer 8

she's 21...she's an adult. She should have been more careful if she didn't want to get knocked up by an "asswipe"...

I didn't "go to school" after high school and I'm doing just fine.

It sounds like the two of you need to hook up and have the baby and live happily ever after.

Answer 9

If the physician didn't do a pregnancy test and she wants to be sure she should go to another doctor to request a test.

Answer 10

nicely if the Dr. mentioned 2 females this is probably 2 females....there is a few 10% probability that he must be incorrect. to no longer easy on the instant nevertheless. distinctly if it became into an intensive ultrasound.
