    Did anyone see Eastenders last night? I am not anti-abortion but i was quite peed off at how easy they made it look. Lucy was given her tablet and sent home with period pain. No wonder young girls think it's not a big deal.
    I always remember watching either neighbours or home n away I think, doing a realistic story on it and I'ts stayed with me forever._pale_
    I'm not 100% against it but it's far too easy to get one here IME

    Did she do it secretly? Because I read about a girl (in the US) who died of complications purely because nobody else knew that she'd had it and she didn't know it had the potential to be that dangerous so by the time she told them it was too late.

    Caz i know it's that easy but i thought they should have made it more upsetting/painful/serious so that they don't give the impression it's as easy as taking the morning after pill. If that makes any sense!!

    Her dad was with her, but they told her step mother that she was having a miscarriage cos they were gonna give the baby to her (she's infertile). My DS loves Eastenders but i don't like trying to explain some of the storylines to him lol!! He was like "how can she just get rid of it?" I was like errrr it's not really a baby yet so she can take medicine to stop her being pregnant. I didn't know how else to put it lol!

    She has been making me laugh this morning - she keeps helping herself to things form the kitchen cupboard - just brought me a box of chocolate fingers to open for her (they are now on a shelf out of her reach :rotfl:Mummy 1 baby 0).

    :rotfl:I had to fit a lock to the under-sink cupboard yesterday because the most enjoyable thing in the world is emptying cupboards.

    She wasn't happy this morning when she came out to open it and couldn't. :p

    kind of she'll weigh him and just go through what she does, make sure to ask about local groups and clinics :)

    Mine asked me various questions about Alice to fill in some forms, gave me info about baby clinics, weighed Alice, and asked me if my husband was beating me.
