Another Controversial TV Prog - Channel 4 - The Hospital!

I'm watching it too. I totally agree with you! How can girls not know that they can get pregnant if they don't use contraception?!!!
Also, I'm shocked by the young girls who will not give up smoking even though they are pregnant. I don't want to offend anyone. I just find it shocking.
xx

 

I'm watching it at 10 cause hubby is watching something else at the moment, is it worth watching?

 

Yes - but you might get annoyed!

 

I'm watching it now... and in shock! DH got angry at it so has left the room. He said that girls that stupid shouldn't be allowed to reproduce I can't believe some of them thought they couldn't get pregnant if they weren't using contraception!

 

It's so annoying, isn't it. Especially when there are so many couples who are trying (unsuccesfully) to get pregnant...

 

I hated it, being a teenage mum my self, it didnt give a fair view of teenage mum's, we are not all jumping in to bed with anyone, chain smoking, not listening to midwives advice etc etc. But I know that wouldnt make good viewing.

ETA And five years after I had my son I dont wish I waited.

 

i didnt watch it because i knew it would fcuk me off i cannot stand immature little girls that can fall pregnant so easily while there is people like me and oh that cannot fall pregnant for the life of us
fair enough if they are going to look after there babys properly then theres no problem with them falling pregnant if that is what they want to do but i too often see SOME young girls having babys and still living a normal life for example going out on the piss every single weekend and leaving there baby with tom dick or harry so they can still live out there teenage years it really infuriates me and as for the "can we still get pregnant if we dont use contraception" please do not get me started lol x

and i put the word SOME in capitals because i know all young girls are not the same x x

 

I am sorry if I upset or offended anyone, I didnt notice it was in the TTC section, and just wrote sorry

 

I decided not to watch the programme as I knew it would make me upset and mad. There has recently been a teenage pregnancy in our close family that ended in abortion and it tore me to pieces while I was WTT, just a month before TTC. She was 15 and as far as Im concerned made the right choice for her because she is very immature and many other things.
I am only young myself at 21 but have been in a stable relationship for 6 and a half years and we have lived together for 2 years and both have stable jobs etc. and we are 100% ready for a baby. I enjoyed my teenage years and am glad I did!!!

 

i watched it, how irritating! did you see how stupid they were, wanting a G.A instead of being awake through the delivery although her risks were really high. And when she refussed to have the clexane to stop her clotting as she was at high risk. Scared of bloody needles and piercings all over her face. They dont deserve to be mothers!! how come it happens so easy for people like that who want babies as fashion statements, then others like us struggle, mc and want a baby so bad xx sorry if ive offended but it was a discrase!! xx

 

and i dont mean teenage mothers, i mean those girls on the programme. My mum had 4 children, her first when she was 17 and has done an excellent jobs, but them girls last night were absolutely ridiculous. Have a baby for the right reasons not to get you a house or benefits as one of them said xx

 

OMG - sounds like I missed a blinder of a show. Is it a series?

I remember a show a while back about teenage parents - it showed the young mums and dads and one thing a boy said has stayed with me...
"when I first found out about the baby I was really scared... but now I'm just not bothered"

 

Sorry this might be long by the way lol. I didn't watch it but i can only imagine of some of the stuff they are saying as i know what teenage girls are like. The only thing is they're making it worse for every other teenage mum, cause i know for a fact that not every teen mum is like that. Take my mum for example she fell pregnant at 17 and still worked throughout her whole pregnancy and even after she gave birth. She spent her 18th birthday at home heavily pregnant and she had me at 20 so didn't get pissed and go out clubbing till mid 20's so its not all about having a baby then going out every night.
I think some of you should be a little more open minded about teen pregnancy, i know that when i was a teen i would of struggled but wouldnt of been like any of them girls i never even went out on the streets so its not all teenagers. So give some of them a break dont assume that every teen girl with a pushchair or a big bump is a dirty sleep around, smoking and drinking with no boyfriend cause some of them will actually be really good mums and earn a good living for their kids and have a supporting partner with them. Cause i know a lot of women who see young girls with babies just some them as stop-outs getting drunk everynight when they arent so dont use programmes like this to stick with your views about teen pregnancy cause not everyone is like them girls who in my mind are disgusting and see babies as something they can dress up go out with to look good and what makes me laugh they think they can buy gucci and prada for their babies on a show i watched.
So ladies open your mind a bit cause it upsets me when people say stuff like that about teen mums when they arent like that cause what you're seeing on telly is what will get a lot of views. x

 

It was pretty shocking wasn't it?
I feel sorry for the children. It was all about them. Totally selfish.
Did you see the girl trying to feed her newborn a digestive?

 

Imo it wasnt the fact that they were teens...bioligcally were designed to start from our late teens. What bothered me was the level of ignorance and naivity. This is unfortunately a widepread problem for mothers of all ages in this country As a LTTTCer I did have to turn it off after the first few minutes unfortunately
