    It's situations like these when I wish people would keep their pants on or use contraception.

    Before you comment, read the whole thread, she WAS using contraception, although that is none of your business.

    His girlfriend is 5 months pregnant. I'm not sure of the value of contraceptive advice at this time.

    Maybe if more people comment on the fact that we should have been more careful with contraceptives she will miraculously become unpregnant?

    Actually, Oldernotwiser, She did her level 2 diploma in health and beauty at school in year 11, and studied health and social care at college, so the judgement you just made about my girlfriend is wrong i really dont know what your problem is but you need to resolve it somewhere else, your pointless opinions arnt needed or wanted here

    My comment was entirely general; if I had been referring to your GF I would have said so.
