my ex may be preg. and drinking what should I do?
Its a long story but I took my ex back about 5 months ago.
we didnt get along and it didnt work out right...
Well about two months later she told me she was pregnant and that it was ok she was going to put the baby up for adoption but I said no way!
I told her I didnt care if she took off and left me with the child I wouldnt let adoption be an option and she recanted and said she was trying to get me going for a practical joke I played on her about the same time.
She dissapeared right after.
That was roughly 5 months ago.
Yesterday she gets in contact with me and we end up going to dinner.
I pick her up and she looks rea;;y pregnant to me...
I didnt push the issue I didnt want to scare her away.
In conversation she tells me she has been drinking but mentions nothing about being prego...
I dont know what to do? Should I try to get some sort of authority involved?
I believe her mentality is that she will hide it and not care about the future welfare of a child she will never have to see...
This makes me sick if it is true ...
Idk

Be up front. Ask her if she is pregnant, if so tell her that you will be there for her and the baby. Let her know that you want the child and are concerned for it's well being. Sounds like she may be in denial. If you find out that she is pregnant and is drinking and will not stop, contact Social Services and see what they recommend.
If she still says she's not and you think she is, I'd ask her to go with me to Planned Parenthood and get a test done.

That is SOOOOO Sad!!! You really should contact social services. THe sad thing is that if she is already 5/6 months pregnant and she has been drinking- the damage could already be done :-( FAE and FAS (Fetal Alcohol Effects and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome) can be devastating for children. From Setting them back from completing normal mile stones to leaving them unable to function- or with significant brain function loss. So many things can happen. I do hope for your sake that if she is that your child is ok!! Do whatever you have to to try and protect your child.... Good luck!

Try to find out more about her pregnancy. Then I would notify children services, although they may not be able to do anyting until after the baby is born. Good Luck, it sounds like you need to get her professional help.

you should get social services involved because so many horrible things can happen to the baby including being still born
