Britney Spears' little sister Jamie Lynn says she's...
 
you guessed it, pregnant. I dont have anything bad to say about it other than I hope she doesn't go down the rocky road that Britney has, I dont think her age is going to automatically deem her an unsuitable mother and I wish her the best, but I thought accywebbers might want to discuss it further.

Not the best source but a source all the same, there are many:
The Associated Press: Jamie Lynn Spears Says She's Pregnant

Guess it not just the UK with teenage pregency problems but bet they don't get the free treatment we have thanks to the NHS

Having a baby at 16 isn't exactly a problem I dont think, I just think its bad when girls even younger than that get pregnant. I guess what doesnt appear right in particular is the fact that we see 16yr olds still in their school uniforms and clearly close to their due date. I know a girl however who got pregnant when she was in her last year at school, I cant remember if she actually had the baby before leaving, but she's a really good mum and balancing college and looking after her, and I think that its nice to see that some teen mums do take up that opportunity rather than fit the stereotype and dont bother. There are plenty of opportunities for young mums these days with creches at colleges and flexible working hours in many places of employment.

I wonder if they'll write a pregnancy into the story for her screen character?

I do think 16 is a bit young to become a mother but it's not so much age as a stable permanent relationship which I feel is more important so the baby can form a bond with Mum and Dad as part of a family unit.

The NHS is far from free, in fact you pay dearly for services that diminish with every passing year.

Too true, much better to pay for health insurance instead of national health insurance to gain access to a half arsed service.

I rang nhs direct yesterday, described my symptoms and I just had a sore throat, today I went to see my doctor and he checked me over and diagnosed tonsillitis. Not only that but my doctor will only see people on wednesday mornings, I dont have a clue what he does for the rest of the week but he certainly doesnt take appointments. The only reason I stay with him is that I trust he is a really good doctor, but one morning out of what should be 5 working days a week is ridiculous.

Maybe he does home visits or hospital or something the rest of the time.

Why even bother having so many receptionists then? he must have about 5 and they dont even have a set of decent manners between them :p

Re: Britney Spears' little sister Jamie Lynn says she's...
 
Five receptionists for just one doctor? Now that's plain greedy.

He's a lovely black man with very sexy big hands, I think he deserves 5 receptionists ;)

Think we have a good health service, dread to think how a lot of people would manage without it.

I cant say I feel the same way about it, but I guess when your young and its stressed to you to care about your health but you cant see a doctor for weeks and maybe not see a dentist at all then its a bit disheartening.

Ooooh exciting thing though, on the news this morning it was announced that the NHS has agreed that if health care abroad is an option then they will fund it. I didnt catch the full story as I had to go to the doctors but it sounded exciting!

can you not go accrington hospital if you cant see your doctor? i dont have a doctor yet and my lad had an ear infection, i rang the health visiters and they told me to take him up there and they saw him straight away..

BERNADETTE 19-12-2007 18:59

Re: Britney Spears' little sister Jamie Lynn says she's...
 
You don't stop caring about your health as you get older in fact I would imagine most people take more care than they did when younger

They will fund the operation but not the travelling or accomodation costs.

Why ?

By the way it's only a proposal stage yet

Re: Britney Spears' little sister Jamie Lynn says she's...
 
if we pay for the accomodation and travel, will we get a tax rebate?

I'm not saying that, but its stressed to younger people that they should eat healthy and exercise so they dont get obese and everything, yet you cant actually get to see the doctor about health concerns, and then you end up in hospital because it's too late to do anything about it.

When they know you are ill, it seems you get fantastic care, but at the earliest possible stages when things need to be seen to there is just too much delay.

Well if you want something you should go and get it really. That is a fantastic step in the right direction for us as patients on behalf of the NHS and in future it might get even better to cover travel expenses and other costs, but the fact that they will cover the costs for treatment abroad is brilliant I would say.

Precisely. We are taxed to the hilt, we should expect a good health service where we can actually be treated.

BERNADETTE 19-12-2007 19:11

Re: Britney Spears' little sister Jamie Lynn says she's...
 
Think you need to change your doctor if you can't see him when you clearly needed to. Most doctors will fit you in the same day if you need to see someone.

Are you happy with that? Nurses do seem to be getting a lot more responsibility in quite a lot of areas. In fact most nurses know the patients better than the doctors these days.

I had to stop and think what you were talking about then - we'd strayed from the point again! :D

On the subject of this idea of NHS funding treatment abroad, as I heard it on the radio you will have to pay up front and then try to claim it back. It was reported that would limit the number of people who would be able to take advantage of it before you even take into account the cost of transport and accommodation.
