I have a friend who's found out recently she's been made pregnant by someone she had a brief, disastrous affair with. She wants to keep the baby. I talk to her nightly, am ramping her up on cloth diapering, water births, what to expect, to keep edible nonperishable food where she'll be nursing, when she can realistically expect to be something other than a zombified milk machine (not saying any of this in a nasty way - but in a "you won't be going back to work the next week" way)
Why this? Because it's her choice to have the baby, and I'm gonna chip in for her shower, I would have organised it if she hadn't had someone do that first. And if I was in the area, I'd babysit occasionally if she'd trust me.
And if she wanted to not have the baby, I'd drive her to and from the appt. And kayo any asshole who gave her grief.
