hithis is a hard situation to be in as this girl is putting herself in danger,you need to speak to her and firmlytell her the consequences of being a lone parent and a young one at that its a very scary thing motherhood is and the way that she is trying to get pregnant is a dangerous way, not only she could catch sti but she probably end up rejecting the baby because she may or may not be able to cope, she should enjoy her life and consider money her education the lives she going to turn up side down,this is a really selfish way to bring a baby in to the world just because she wants one obviously she hasnt thought of the things a baby needs, the love and attention,a baby is not a toy, what if she gets fed up of looking after a baby they do grow up its not all cutsey baby grows and pretty dresses its a real life human being and they take a lot of hard work and also will take up most of her life, tell her thishope this helps xx

Point out that if she doesn't know the medical history of the people she is sleeping with then her baby could be born with:
Downs Syndrome
Various childhood cancers
haemophilia
cystic fibrosis
muscular dystrophy
sickle cell anaemia
thalassaemia
Chlamydia
Herpes
Syphilis
AIDS
Hepatitis
Most of the STDs will cause the baby in the womb to become deformed and mentally ill.
She needs to either pay for a sperm bank donation or find a guy she knows is clean and has good genes.
Tell her that she is being HORRIBLY selfish to the poor child and you don't want to be part of it because you don't want to have to babysit a 20 year old child who can't even go to the loo on its own.
Good Luck!! xx

If she has a one night stand she will regret and will live with the fact that her child doesn't and won't be able to get to know their dad. This is something her child will be asking for many years so it will be up to her to deal with it. Even if she knows the guys she is sleeping with it is not fair on them, as they most likely don't want to be a dad at such a young age!
