[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 18 year old daughter is she's pregnant.

Any advice? She's in college (NVCC)  and I'm concerned it will go to the wayside with all the new responsibility. Health issuance will not cover it,  Would we have to pay out of packet?

She works  20 hours  a week and earns 8 an hour.

Problem with medicare is government assistant and I always thought it was for the lazy, but accidents happen but I don't want to tell people that the baby might have to be on it..[/quote]
Your daughter is about to be a teen mom. If anyone is going to think poorly of her THAT will be why, not because she needs Medicare, which the average person wouldn't even know.[/quote]

This is so American. I just came from Stockholm, and there are tons of moms who are 29-25 with 2-3 kids. They are young, stylish and happy. In America it is almost a crime to have a kid at 18. She is an adult, she is highly capable to raise a child. [/quote]
Since she doesn't have a job "highly capable" is quite the stretch. 
And yes, teen motherhood isn't celebrated in America, which is where the OP lives and where this message board is based. So I feel pretty comfortable being "so American" here in America. [/quote]

The poster who "just came from Stockholm " is so American in her ignorant sweeping generalizations about a country she knows nothing about, other than a stop on a cruise ship and a quick breeze through Vasa museum..

Im Scandinavian and this is simply not true. The average birth rate in Sweeden is under 2 children and avearge age of first birth is 29. Urban mothers bring this avearge up, with most new mothers in places like Stockholm having their first baby in their 30s. Sweeden CAN supoort young mothers because they do not have the major social problems the US has and it is unusual for abyome to be a teen mom. Abortions are also not taboo. Teen pregnsncy is not celebratedin Sweeden.

However, i suspect with the flood of Islamic immigrants, the birth rate will go up and the maternal age go down. These type of things go hand in hand with education and religious beliefs of which Swedish are highly educated and largly secular, unlike the new arrivals.[/quote]
