Okay,
One of my close friends has gotten pregnant and is trying to end her pregnancy through a purposely miscarriage. She has stopped eating altogether , and is exercising excessively. Drinking as much caffeine as possible. Shes only 3 weeks . Can anyone tell me if she can still have chance of the childs survival. Cause she wont listen to me when i tell her not to, and she wont discuss it with her parents.

When I was a teen I had a friend that did the a similar thing. She smoked as much pot as possible, used LSD, and pretty much did anything she could to end the pregnancy, and she did, sadly.

I think your friend needs a serious kick up the backside. First off she should go see her doctor. If she wants to terminate then i belivev it is her body and she should be aloud to do as she wishes as no child should be brought into the world if it cannot be cared for emotionally and physically. Seconldy what shes doing will obviously cause her to miscarriage but may also affect her chances of conceiving in the future. I think you have to drag your friend kicking and screaming to the doctors, or even the family planning centre. she needs to speak to someone who will understand what she is feeling. if she wont listen to you maybe you should give her the information in leaflet and tell her that not only will she harm her baby but herself. then walk away. when she realises she will be all alone if she doesnt stop it may make her see sense. the only other think i can suggest is that maybe there is a deeper cause to why she is doing this. who is the father? was it a mistake? a one night stand. is she too young? too old? there may be an underlying problem that needs to be addressed. sorry i couldnt be of more help.

Find a clinic in your area and drag her there! She doesn't have to tell her parents if she is that afraid (although she may find they are supportive if she did tell them). If she talks to a healthcare professional she will be given options to think about and can make an informed decision. It is clear she likely will terminate the pregnancy which is NOT an easy decision but it is far better than what she is currently doing. What she is doing now will not necessarily end in miscarriage but she could end up giving birth to a low birthweight child with a bunch of physical disabilities as a result of not getting enough nourishment during the developmental stages.

Why on earth is your friend trying to do this? I'm not a doctor but i would presume that a lack of food and excessive exercise WILL NOT be enough to cause a miscarage. She will most probably just make herself very poorly+ pregnancy will continue to develop. If she really isn't ready to bring a child into the world then she should have an abortion - sooner rather than later. I think you should advise her to get help and see a doctor asap. I hope this helps? x

I know of 2 people who tried and only ended up with disasterous results. My brothers son, right at the time of the development of the brain- nephew is now 17, will never live on his own and is, will always be 3 yrs old. His ex- drank, smoked did drugs.
The other I know of, the little girl was born with half a brain, spine never fully developed- starved herself, hit herself, purposely fell down and did lots of drugs.
I hate to say it, but Tell your girlfriend if she has to do it, do it the right way and get an abortion instead of damning a poor little child to a life sentence of not being whole. Or get over herself, stay healthy and give the child up for adoption. Many couples out there are waiting for an angel to come into their lives. And if your girlfriend continues on this path she will only hurt an innocent.

Well you should explain to your friend that no matter what she does to her body it will always protect the baby or fetus or however you want to call it first. Get her a planned parenthood or a clinic and get her to talk to someone about it, maybe even look into an abortion instead. If she's doing it on purpose than she doesn't want the baby and there's no reasoning with her about it. Her best bet is for her to talk to a professional and have them explain to her the facts.
If that doesn't work than call her parents and tell them yourself especially if she's underage. But other than that there isn't much else you can do.

I highly doubt your friend will be able to cause a miscarriage, but she will probably cause the baby to either be sick or deformed. It's women like that who need to be in jail. Just because a girl has a baby inside her body (which coincedently was her OWN fault) THE CHILD IS NOT HER PROPERTY TO KILL. And she should take care of it. She is SCUM.

That's horrible!!!!! How could you have let it go this far,that baby didn't ask for that!! My god she's not going to kill it, she's just going to end up making the baby retarded and have mega amount of problems! If you can't get her to stop then you be a good friend and go right up to her parents and tell them what's going on!!! She is also more likely to hurt herself in the process of harming the baby! If anything else try and convince her to have it and then give it away, but doing all that stupid crap is just stupid. Your friend has some major problems and she should probable get some help for them! But my god try harder to stop this, it's murder!!! I hope the baby is all right,and i hope that this girl gets some sense and stops all of this madness!

I knew a girl that took asprin all the time and jumped up and down trying to have a miscarriage. She had a beautiful and healthy baby.
Your friend has lost her mind. Tell her parents, this is definately something they need to know.

You need to tell her parents. She may not cause a miscarriage, but may end up with a baby with disabilities as a result.
