Hi Everyone,
I have been on many Thailand forums including Thai Visa and Ajarn.com. I have posted around the various boards some and am very embarassed to tell this story and ask the following questions.
Background:
I think I got a Thai girl pregnant. She told me via email, after my trip there, about 1-1/2 months after our first nights together. She did so only when I was not very attentive to her emails so I kind of thought she was doing this for attention and also since she told me this very matter of factly. However I wrote her again in order to be more attentive and after that she writes back and says that she "think something but not to worry". After that, the emails were again all nice and sweet as usual for the next month.
Well, ok... We did bump nasties with no protection but I saw the toilet seat shaped birth control pills in her purse and I kind of took it for granted she was taking them. When I left, completing the first trip, I turned to her at the hotel and said "YOU TAKE PILL OK?" while motioning a rounded stomach. Very stupid on my part. Please do not remind me of how stupid I am, my friends are taking care of that part.
Then I went back to Thailand at what would have been the 2-1/2 month point. I saw her and spent 2 nights with her. I figured if anything was up she would have sure told me then. Everything was rosy as on the first trip. So that reinforced my belief that she wanted attention. Then I told her on night 3 that I wanted a night alone and she storms out of the hotel with a serious attitude. We never saw each other again that trip. She writes me again saying she is pregnant once I return home. She never told me anything while I was there during the 2 nights and 2 days I was with her so again I think she is trying to keep me around with this story and I told her that she should not play games. I don't hear from her again.
My friends go to Thailand about 2 weeks ago and all of a sudden they are hearing all this shit (we run in the same circles) and "oh by the way she does look a bit bigger Joe". OH NO, WTF? Upon further questioning of my friends this is looking like the worst is actually happening.
She had birth control and I can't verify if she was taking them but they were definitely in her purse and I did remind her that she needs to take them. Yeah I am stupid also but WHY DID SHE NOT TELL ME WHEN I WAS THERE? DAMN.
Additional Information:
Everyone who knows her and knows me are corroborating her story.
****Yes she is a Pattaya bargirl.
****I am going to step up to this until I get contradicting info.
****She is 4-1/2 months now and will be 5 months when I get there.
****It is ultimately her decision as to what to do and I will provide support if all is true and this goes to term...
So... I buy a ticket for Thailand arriving in about 2 weeks and will get a pregnancy test at the hospital and find out the approximate time of conception.
However should we sit down and talk and decide some things, I need to have all my ducks in a row...
Please guys, some questions:
1) Assuming I am in the window of fatherhood as per her pregnancy test at a hospital, can I get a fetal DNA test right then and there?
2) Is there a time period where fetal DNA tests cannot be done (like in the mid fourth to fifth month)?
3) I understand Pattaya International will do a middle term abortion. Am I correct in this? Is there any other hospital that may provide the same type of service in or near Pattaya or Bangkok?
4) I understand Khlong Tan hospital may do these types of abortions also. Where are they? Am I better off in Bangkok to start all of this off???
I can take some comments on the chin but any suggestions above and beyond what I have already mentioned would be very welcome and very helpful.
Thanks in advance as I am going through the whole range of feelings at the moment and really need this information.
Joe
