Another risk to “young party couples” which can be extremely traumatic even if they genuinely devoted and able to avoid comedown rows is forgetting to use their contraception.
This can of course lead to a young woman falling pregnant, and not being aware of this in the early stages.
Sadly it has led to couples having to arrange a termination, or worse wanting to keep the baby but the young woman miscarries due to reduced physical health.
All party/recreational drugs cross the placenta.
If you are in a long term relationship and think you might be expecting to be a parent then both of you should immediately arrange to visit your health services family planning and stay clear of any controlled drugs or NPS (Dad will also need to be in good mental and physical health once the babies are born!)
This is why a lot of former regular posters on here are not around (as they have become parents and don’t have as much spare time).
One chap I know ended up had to take down his music studio (this happens quite often to DJs and musicians).
At least him and his wife owned their house so I did suggest converting the roofspace for the childrens rooms (which would be suitable for his son and daughter right up to the end of high school years) but this isn’t cheap and needs Building Control authorisation (although where he lived would have also given the kids a good view of the sea)
I would also have had to get the train to Lowestoft and explain to his wife I was not simply suggesting the kids were hoist up in a basket on a pulley into the roofspace like a catch of halibut and cod at the fish docks :laugh_at:
