Quote:
Any body else think that the schools have quite enough to do already without having to organise antinatal classes for pregnant teens This quote just about sums it up for me Quote:

I thing they should show them how to use that "casper the ghost" thus stopping a 9 month issue.

Re: Antinatal classes for pregnant teens
If a kid didn't listen about contraception from school, are they going to listen to anything about looking after a baby from school?
And if kids aged 15-16 are that concerned with a baby's welfare they wouldn't have the baby in the first place. |

"normalising" - an emotive phrase, imho.....
No, in supporting the young mothers to continue their education, by them not having to leave the school for a couple of hours to attend the ante-natal class elsewhere (because, whilst I might not agree with their life-style choice (and it may have been an "accident")), I believe it is important that a) they continue their education, and b) the mother and baby's health is monitored appropriately. |

I thing by having this in schools, they will make it seem like it's a normal thing for a young girl to get pregnant while she's still at school.
some girls may think at the moment that because there is no such thing that they are actually more careful. but by having it there they may not. but if we're following America on this one, then we can only expect the worst. |

I agree Gary , it is not normal to have children while still at school and should never be seen as such ---------- Post added at 21:27 ---------- Previous post was at 21:16 ---------- Quote:

Re: Antinatal classes for pregnant teens
In my kids' school it was "girls whose first language was not English" that got visits from a local nurse for antenatal lessons... because they "didn't understand" how to arrange such support through a GP or hospital.
And the school had translators available. |

Also, the risks associated with teen mums because they don't take as good care of themseves as an older woman often results in harm to the child or worse still miscarriage or stillbirth, a midwife was telling me yesterday. |

Of course, we could just stigmatise them, call them toe rags, and hope the problem disappears....:dozey: |
