geez shocker

[cmoroy]

The ex GF that I just broke things off with a few weeks ago is now prego... my kid I'm definitely not ready for this

[Dpierce37]

cmoroy, wow...someone needs to buy you a drink ASAP! ummm...congrats though...your boys can swim.

[Big Al]

Break the glass! Emergency!

[goofyboy]

um... way to go dad!!! good luck dude!

you sure it is yours??

[cmoroy]

Yeah I'm bout 98% sure... Im still pretty much freakin out/ in shock still

[Chattwake]

Get a paternity test done asap. Don't listen to anything until that test comes back positive.

[Aubs]

I agree with chattwake.

[ontrider]

I think Jerry Springer does them for free.

I agree on the PT. Knowing for sure makes a big difference. If she does like my ex did, it will come back to bite you later in life if you don't...especially if she is convinced it is.

Eventhough you may not be ready (which none of us ever are), a child is truly a blessing, no matter what the situation is. If it turns out to be the case, just do your best to love your child and you'll be good.

[pet575]

Okie is right on all fronts. Absolutely get the PT done. If it turns out it is yours, that is not a horrible thing. I completely freaked when I found out I was going to have a kid, thought it was the end of the world, knew I wasn't ready, etc. but it is the single best thing I ever did.

[ridininmd]

Don't panic just yet, have her take a test while you are there. It wouldn't be the first time a chick claimed to be knocked up to try and get an ex back.

[cmoroy]

Had a blood test done today and it came back positive. Doc's saying probably 5 weeks, which really removes any sliver of doubt that I had.

[STPHNSN23]

get the test anyway. i'm going to have to disagree with springer though. maury is much better at this sort of thing. we could all go be in the crowd and call it wb.com day.

[savage3221]

I'll just be the one to ask directly.. what are your considerations on an abortion if she is in fact pregnant with your child?

[ky1e]

cmoroy, when was the last period she had and when was the last time you boned her? Women are most fertile about 8 days since the last day of their last period for about a week so pretty much day 8-15. Good Luck buddy... coitus interruptus my friend, coitus interruptus

[htownbdr]

Spoken like a true Professional. Make sure you ask your future patients EXACTLY like that.

[ontrider]

Were you wearing a Red Bull hat? If so, this could have all been avoided.

I'd like Darin's input on this matter as well.

[ky1e]

htownbdr, depending on where you are at and how old the patient is, you would be amazed at what comes out of the attendings mouth. In Belle Glade, FL there was no such thing as the term "sexual intercourse" and with an average patient age of 17, the doc NEVER ONCE mentioned using condoms for protection. The only thing that they wanted were the shots or the implanon, and we were asked several times per day about the proper way to pull out. "Is it ok if he goes in my ___" and beyond. Mind you this is where the AIDS epidemic started in the United States. What is amazing is that we didn't have on positive HIV test the entire month. I asked the doctor about it and he said that essentially all of the people who were to get the virus in the 80s early 90s did and died and basically the people left have almost an immunity to whatever strain of virus that was most prevalent there. Obviously there are some people much more susceptible to HIV than others, and depending on your protein markers, you can be completely immune from contracting the disease because it has no way to enter your cell and replicate. He said their is actually a study going on right now about how HIV has become essentially avirulent in Belle Glade. I mean everyone has a friend that you always think to yourself, it is completely impossible that he/she has not gotten anything SERIOUS by now. Our prime example on wb.com would be JT

now its even more fun trying to ask about bowel movements and "flatus". "Despite not having a bowel movement for the past three days, have you been producing flatus?"
"Huh?"
"Have you farted since you haven't gone #2?"
"Ohhhhhh...yeah been farting up a storm"
"Ok good, farting is the best thing you can do for us in the hospital. Make sure to keep it up"

one of the more common reenactments i have experienced on my hospital rotations. For some reason they respond better to fart then passing gas, even the grandmas...

[cheesewizz]

haha "red bull hat"

[ky1e]

[cmoroy]

[cmoroy]

[cheesewizz]

i laughed so hard at "does she work at zoo" that trumps red bull hat .. sorry to laugh at your predicament but fiddlesticks this is funny

[cheesewizz]

maybe she just gained a bit of weight.. you know how girls can be

[ky1e]

cheesewizz, that was a joke obviously. It was a "mr hands" reference

[Aubs]

[Okie Boarder]

When you say blood test are you saying she got a blood test to confirm she is preggo? Definitely pursue the paternity test to be sure it is yours, then move on. I definitely like your attitutde and plan as noted by Aubs.

[ky1e]

cmoroy, was she on birth control or tell you that she was on birth control? If not and you weren't using protection, this shouldn't be much of a "shocker" should it?
