Addicted to BabyCenter

Okay, so here it is...I am an addict. I am ADDICTED to Babycenter.com. There it's out, I said it! WOW! It's so nice to get that off my chest. Okay, so in pursuit of my addictions I came across a thread that hit home with me. One of the members of the LDSfamilies board that I read and post on, was recently called to be the Laurel advisor. She recently found out that one her laurels is aprox. 6mo preg. She was a lttle miffed that she was not told of the situation by the YW pres. She asked for people's opinions, as well as how she could possibly help this girl.

WELL she opened a HUGE can of worms. There has been a gamut of response that range from supportive, but slightly distanced to those that are extremely judgemental. Well in light of this particular topic, it got me thinking about well when I was pregnant with Stephen. I was a laurel, active in my ward..well to a certain extent. But the one thing that I remember, was that I was never asked to leave YW just because I was pregnant. I was never treated less than the other girls because I had chosen a different path. After Sam and I got married, and after Stephen was born I naturally went to Relief Society, but so did all the other girls that were in my Laurel class.

So reading all the posts that people had written made me so glad that I not only had a supportive family, but that the members of my ward were so supportive as well. Now i don't by any means think that they supported the choice that i had made to have sex before i got married, but they treated me no different just the same.
