Did you say you were 16? And that yo lost a child last year when you were 15? And now you're pregnant again at 16? Girlfriend, you need to be on birth control, stop smoking and get to your gynocologist for yearly exams, espcially, if you are sexually active, which you should be worried about. Your age is tooooo young to be pregnant twice, smoking and worried about cancer. Did you know that the earlier you start being sexually active meansthe more chance later that you could be more prone for cancer?

I'm not preaching to you, yes I am, I'm a parent of a 17 year old and I can't help it. You need to take care of yourself....you can't take birth control and smoke, you shouldn't smoke while you're pregnant, or any other time for that matter. You're setting yourself up for hardship later on....

Get yourself checked out and keep up with your health!!!
