My sister just announced that my nephew's girlfriend is pregnant. This will be her third grandchild. My nephew is 19. My other nephew had his kids at 16 and 19. My sister was 16 when she had her first. She also has two teenaged daughters, one of which is in a long term relationship, so I feel like I've been waiting for their announcements, too.

Well then. That sounds like a good situation all around. Maybe she should brush up on how to give an effective safe sex talk.

Oh dear. Babies having babies is right.
I try not to judge, especially considering that this is essentially my own family history (my mom had her first child super young, and 2 of my sisters had their first kids fairly young, which resulted in my mom becoming a grandmother at an early age). But it really makes me wonder why a parent, having been a teen parent themself, wouldn't do more to educate their kids?

A couple i know who've been trying foreverrrrrrr just made a very cute announcement on FB that they have a boy coming in Sept. I didn't think it would happen for them as they are almost mid 40s, but yay it did.

My best friend came over for a play date yesterday and told me she is pregnant. I had just started AF so it really hit me hard. Ugh.

This isn't a confirmed OPP yet, but a friend and I are pretty positive an announcement is coming in the very near future. I have a friend who isn't the brightest person I've ever met and is giving another friend all the signals that she is pregnant again. ***TW*** {Spoiler}She and her DD legit almost died the last time she was pregnant because her uterus ruptured during labor. This will be her 3rd pregnancy and (probable?) C-section in less than 2.5 years. With her history I just can't get over how irresponsible it would be to get KTFU So soon after all that, or at all really. I'm all judgy and it hasn't even been confirmed yet...

My cousin has four kids with his ex-wife. After the second, they were told it would be dangerous for both her and the baby if she were to get pregnant again. They pushed it twice more, both high risk pregnancies. They split up, she remarried, new husband wanted a son. She had a girl, almost died giving birth. Husband still wanted a son, she had a six month stillbirth. They tried again and finally got their son and stopped. And then divorced. The whole thing makes me so ragey.
