My friend is 16, she had a baby (5 months) a few months ago. She has NOW been having extreame pains in her stomach, and also been throwing up blood!!! Now she has lost 2 Stone (weight). Shes been admited to hospital for days they said they think shes makin herself throw up etc, but SHE IS NOT!!
She has left the hospital now. because she has to take care of her baby. Her parents dont even touch the baby or help her out. Her friends dont help her out. THE GUY dsnt help her out (wish i cud break his face) because he says hes too busy!! So she cant go to the hospital to be under monitoring and she is in such pains saying its worse the giving birth.
What does she have? Cancer? What can i do? She doesnt want to give baby to social services for caring while she is in hospital. What are the options? She said she will go 2mo to see the hospital while her baby is in nursery (only time she can go).
Please anyone who can help , do help. Its a terrible situation i have no one else

She isnt the untrustworthy type. I just know so. I know before i thought that. But thing is, she has been hiding this from me. She just says she has pains but she will be fine. And sometimes doesnt tell me anything about it until i ask.
I know trustworthyness of gettin preg of a 16 year old is questionable. But she really is just gullable. Shes way to shy to have acted all this out. I rather believe this story then ignore her and later find out i cud have helped!! then i wud not be able to live this life knowing that.

sounds like she might have an infection of some type.
She should go to the emergency room, take the baby with her and they will see that it gets taken care of while she gets taken care of, or if u or or your family can take care of it for her. Be sure she is telling the truth or you might stuck with babysitting for a long......time.

Ok. Number 1. No one can diagnose your friend without seeing her. The most often causes of bloody vomit is a) repeated vomitting as in buliema b) a bleeding ulcer which comes with pain.
The baby came out of her uterus and I assume via the birth canal. So that affects the abdominal muscles meaning they hurt more when she vomits. The baby wasn't in her actual stomach where the bleeding is coming from.
If she needs to go to hospital for 2 mos? it seems the experts think she has a psychiatric problem?
Can you or someone else take care of the baby while she is in hospital? Your mother? A friend's mother or grandmother that you both trust?
The hospital doesn't HAVE to take the baby into the nursery while she is in there because it isn't sick, but she could have it in there if she paid for it out of her pocket.
Has she asked if she could have the baby in HER room with her in the hospital so there is no cost to the hospital? She can nurse the baby and take care of its needs herself that way.
The other thing she needs to do is get some birth control going, and find a way to order her life. At 16 it is hard having a baby. And her parents obviously don't approve. She needs to get some social services help. Perhaps they have some solutions other than 'taking' the baby.
Ask at her church if she has one if they can help find someone to care for the baby while she goes to hospital.
Good luck. This is the problem with babies having babies.

Um wow is all I can say...
She needs to goto the doctor asap, and forget having someone ask on yahoo answers. She NEEDS to get her baby to someone safe and trust worthy..
Here's a story..
My friends friend had a baby by C section. And she ended up passing away a few days later due to a blood clot in her cervix. She died of a heart attack because it had moved it's way up into her heart.
Go to another hospital with NON ****** UP DOCTORS who will run tests give her ultra sounds etc.
She needs to give her baby to someone who does care, possibly you from reading what I see here. And if not, child services or something else. I don't have kids so I don't know where the baby could be safe and well taken care of while the mom gets treatment....
I wish her luck.

It is possible that she is throwing up from stress. Having a baby at 16 with noone to help you out would certainly make me throwup! Tell her to try some of these things.
1. Drink lots of water
2. take zantac or equivl. (75 mgs) in the morning and at night
3.Stick to the brat diet for foods. Bananas, rice, applesuace, and toast. Help her to relax when she can. It's not liekly that she has cancer at that age. More likely to be stress induced or "anxiety" related.
4. NO acidy foods or drinks (caffiene, salsa) They could upset the stomach lining.

Spinach, liver fried with onions, carrots, peas, and "steak and kidney pie" will support to your day-to-day nutrition, however you're going to have got to do the next additionally; Drink Omega three supplementary drugs, drink a tonic wealthy in iron and get consistent sleep each night time for no less than 7 hours immediately. Combine that each one and you're going to be good and consider exceptional inside every week.

Please, please, please encourage her to get tested for Celiac Disease. It often rears its head after a traumatic event, such as child birth. Symptoms include nausea, vomitting, stomach cramps or pains, excessive weight loss or gain, anemia, malnutrition, diarrhea, constipation, depression, eating disorders, headaches, and many more. There are way too many symptoms to list. A Celiac can have one symptom, all of them, or none of them. Celiac Disease is when the body's immune system reacts to gluten (the protein found in wheat, barley, rye, or oats) by attacking the small intestines. It's a very serious disease that can lead to cancer and osteoperosis and even death. Luckily, it's easily managed by eliminating gluten from the diet. No pills, no therapies, just a simple diet change. Celiac Disease affects about 1% of the population. Please, have her get tested. It's a simple blood test. For more information, visit www.celiac.com and www.glutenfreeforum.com.

It is a terrible situation, and if she is vomiting blood, she could have an ulcer or esophageal varices. Leaving the hospital was foolish, she needs to go back...she can take her baby with her and keep it in the room with her if she wants to....it's done all the time in maternity units.

did she go to Dr apt. after having the baby. It could be a couple of things, extreme stress, bad gas, ulcer,heart burn,constipation, gall bladder. I feel really bad for her, so young and has no support.He should pay child support. Maybe she should put the baby up for adoption, shes young and under a lot of stress. She should do what's best for the baby

two stones is not a small amount in that length of time. where are you at? and do you have a car to drive her? Would you mind if I talk to her online personally?
Beings that she is so young I would look harder at post-partum issues than cancer, btw. Unless you have a reason to suggest cancer ofcourse.
This is not a Q&A topic. You need to be in a chat room or on messenger with someone qualified.
