Good Day my good folks of mingle2, I know I took a little bit of a hiatus but your boy is back and even more controversial as ever with my hot tea. Before I get started let me give a shot out to all my current, new, and past " Opinion Minions" on her that follow my topics..love to all. Ladies this goes out to you and fellas feel free to post if you have answers. Okay, Let me start like this, last week I was downtown in my city and I ran into a good old friend of mines. She replies "How you been you look good?" I told I'm blessed by the best and good. she proceed to tell me she's pregnant and this will be her first full term baby without a miscarriage. I was happy to hear that. then it went down hill. she asked me for a cigarette. I said first of all I don't smoke cigarettes. Secondly, I told her " don't you know that could cause complications and maybe even blindness to your child". then she asked me for a drink and I'm not talking sodas and juice. she wanted Hennessey or Brandy and she smokes weed regularly. I asked her do your current boyfriend know you carrying? she said no and the father of the child is in prison with no bail. I thought to myself, "I hope she understands motherhood and health." Now ladies, give it to me straight, was I wrong to give her friendly advice for the sake of the unborn or should I keep my nose out of it let her walk into a disaster later and say that's not my child so let her do her thing? Again, spill the beans ladies and you fellas too..
catch up with you soon!
Love ya'

It sounds like your friend very much needed to cross your path. Yes any women needs to hear the Truth spoken as long as its done with tenderness.

You were meant to see her that day to tell her that. You saved that unborn baby from further harm.

keep my nose out of it let her walk

Humm, I've always been one to speak what is on my mind then walk away if they continue...

people cross our path for a reason. you were offering advice out if genuine concerns. what she does after that rests on her conscience

to Candyswirl,

@2Fly4Wings38, So we spilled the beans lol, Thank you for the invitation to do so. @smiles, now its your turn. What Do You Think of your own actions, give us your Verdict? How do you surmize and Discern how You fared?

You're welcome and I am doing good

When you gave a friendly advice to your pregnant friend, you did not do anything wrong and it wasn't interfering in her life instead you have shown concern for her sake and the baby. Cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking may cause damage and affect the health of the mother and the unborn baby. Below are the effects, and advising your friend would save their health and life.

Smoking while pregnant will:

*Lower the amount of oxygen available to you and your growing baby.
*Increase your baby's heart rate.
*Increase the chances of miscarriage and stillbirth.
*Increase the risk that your baby is born prematurely and/or born with low birth weight.
*Increase your baby's risk of developing respiratory (lung) problems.
*Increases risks of birth defects.
*Increases risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

The effects of alcohol can include:

*Distinctive facial features. A child may have a small head, flat face, and narrow eye openings, for instance. This gets more obvious by age 2 or 3 years.
*Growth problems. Children who were exposed to alcohol before they were born may be smaller than other children of the same age.
*Learning and behavior problems.
*Birth defects.
*Problems bonding or feeding as a newborn.
*Excessive drinking may lead to miscarriage, stillbirth or premature birth.

To Dolphin0925<

thank you so much for supporting my actions, I was thinking about the welfare of the unborn child. to those who voiced for me to keep my nose out it...well think about this if that was you and you were doing all that I mentioned in my opening forum. would you want a person like me to look out for your unborn. not telling you how to parent but give you friendly advice.

thanks again dolphin0025
