Today, I had to explain to my pregnant friend that her plan to get drunk and get a tattoo needed to wait at least 8 months. She then went out for a smoke to calm down. FML

I wonder how many guys she'll drunkenly try to convince are the father.

alcohol is bad but how is getting a tattoo that much of a problem?

Tattoos aren't recommended during pregnancy because they increase your risk of getting an infection. Not by a ton, but enough for you to want to think twice.

Tattoos have risks. They won't even allow you to donate blood if you've been recently tattooed.

Tattoos increase a woman's chance of contracting hepatitis which is passable to the baby.

She definitely isn't ready to have a kid and she is going to screw up the child's life. I would advise a trip down the stairs.

People like this woman are the reason I have no faith in humanity.

She is going to need all the help you can give her. Does she realise how she got pregnant!

Submissions like these irritate me. This isn't yours to share . It's someone else's struggle, poor decision making and (possible) terrible consquences you're putting up on the internet for everyone to see and judge. In what respect is YOUR life f'ed? Here's two helpful tips how to handle the situation, both of them better than putting it on FML: you can turn a blind eye and go your merry way (problem solved, douchebag-way) or you try to find ways to make the situation better and influence her in a good way (this is the kind way). Take care! I hope everything will turn out alright.

Wow sounds like OP's friend should be considering an abortion. I mean if she's more concerned about drinking and getting tattoos than she is about living a lifestyle conducive to being a half-way decent mother why is she even considering becoming a mother.

OP shouldn't beat herself up over her friend's foolishness. (Unless OP is the father!) Help her get the best unbiased information and advice about her rights, responsibilities and options. Then it's up the the friend to do the right thing.

Some people will never be ready to bare a child
