Are you pregnant? I don't know. Can you think for yourself?

Are you pregnant? How the fuck should I know! 2 new threads asking this popped up in the last 24 hours and it's driving me batty! Does this look like a walk-in clinic to you? Go ask a fucking doctor!

I know that the question itself is not what truly bothers me. It's the reason behind it. I am seriously starting to believe that the internet is impairing peoples ability to problem solve, and think for themselves. I find this truly distressing. Are people just getting too lazy to think for themselves? Or are we really getting stupider? I know it's so much easier to go online and ask a bunch of random strangers if you seem pregnant to them, instead of putting in some effort to find out for yourself.

And then there are women who ask us because they can't afford a blood test. If you can't afford a test, how are you going to buy diapers? It doesn't even matter why they ask, the fact remains that we CANNOT diagnose the pregnancy of a random stranger over the internet! EVERYONE should know this!

OK vent over.

I work for a doctor,so deal with a lot of people a day, me and my coworkers were just saying that people seem to be getting more and more ignorant as the yrs go by. Also less responsible for doing anything for themselves. I dont just notice this at work, but at my sons school too. Parent wantign the teacher to make sure the hw is done at school, because theyre too busy after school? Then dont have so many after school activiities!(im not talking about those who really are having difficult life circumstance, I had a classmate in greade school whose sister had cancer and the school was great with giving all the suppport they could)

At Jaime Young... The sad part is you CAN get condoms free at places like the pregnancy resource center, planned parenthood, women's clinics. You can even get free BC at planned parent with a government grant PROVIDED BY THEM! All you haveto do sign and date here. And free PREGNANCY test at pregnancy resource center, planned parenthood andsomewomens clinics.

It's all just a case of lazy fucktards out there. Who should not be having sex. Can't get somewhere... Use plastic wrap!!! A female condom lol!

Yeah, everytime I see this question I cannot be even bothered to write:
"Just do the test"
Instead I just roll my eyes and move on.

i was under the impression you're supposed to already KNOW you're pregnant before you bother joining a site where the name suggests it's a community of females with children and/or fetuses.



a pregnancy test is NOT expensive. they're a dollar at walmart and they are fairly accurate. and then there's the local health department, where you might pay a set fee of like $5 (is how much it is here) to set up an appointment and piss in a cup and find out right there if you are or aren't. like someone else said, if you can't afford that, why the hell were you screwing somebody in the first place...



ETA: would explain why you didn't have condoms in the first place, i guess, but you can get those free at your health department too so that's debunked as well...

Am i pregnant? i had a positive pregnancy test about 7 months ago. the Dr keeps bringing me in for tests and having me go to all these appointments at the hospital. at a couple of these appointments I've seen this weird looking thing moving around on a screen and they keep listening to my heart through my stomach. the Dr also told me to go into the hospital on June 6th to get an operation called a c-section and a tubal done. I'm so confused...

sorry I couldn't resist making a bit of a joke out of it. seriously though i am having my son in a planned c-section on June 6th at 9am (although apparently I have to be at the hospital for 7am) and getting my tubes tied at the same time. I do agree that its weird to ask complete strangers if you are pregnant. I could see if you seriously thought you were and kept getting negative tests (both at home and at the DR's) but still had all the signs but even then wouldn't you just go to another Dr and get a second opinion or some more tests done. Although to be honest i live in Canada where we pay for our health care through taxes instead of oop and i could see that being a major factor where you have to pay for your own health care.

I swear a new one is made every single day!! Take a test... go to the doctor... it's not that hard. When I thought I was pregnant I didn't even think to ask a bunch of strangers.

If you had sex and you are now experiencing bodily changes so noticable that you have to ask.....then you probably are pregnant. Used a condom on the pill? etc? you are probably pregnant. I know, but some girls just DON"T know and don't have mother figures to help them, let's give'em a break here.

I AGREE!!!! I am so sick and tired of it myself. I can't stand those threads, I just want to delete them! Hello, how the fuck should we know? Use our ESPN? LOL.

Very annoying. VERY. In fact I think people are getting more dumb and lazy. I would be ashamed to ask that question! Shame on them! Ugh! Grrrr! Now you've got ME going!
