Moyes, this isn't a place to be giving or accepting medical advice such as what you're asking for. None of us who post here, as far as I know, are medical doctors.
I suggest you find a health care professional within your own area and get the proper advice from him or her.
PREVENTION of pregnancy is what
birth control is all about, along with a healthy dose of responsibility. Perhaps you should've been practicing birth control before you got involved sexually with whoever the father of your child happens to be, and I'm assuming that your "problematic situation" does involve a child.
I'm also perplexed...how can you have become pregnant "last year" and your family not know about it by now?
After all, we're in the beginning of the TENTH month of 2005!
