Rosie Webster (Helen Flanagan)

[*-Rooney-*]

when does rosie find out that she is pregnant

[Perdita]

Can't be long seeing they started the affair late last year, she could be nearly 3 months pregnant now if she fell straight away. I would have thought she was on the contraceptives after she started her relationship with Craig and had to have the "morning after pill".

Somehow I've only just seen this thread, but I have to agree with what's been said above. Fair enough it's a good idea to warn teenagers about the risks involved with having unprotected sex, but they just seem to be going on and on and on about pregnancy. If they want to have the same types of storylines, can't they at least change it to STI scares or the characters actually contracting STI's?

I agree as horrible as it sounds they dont bring up STI's enough, thye focus too much on pregnancy which yes is an issue but STI's are just as bad

[Kim]

Just as bad or worse I think. Teen pregnancy can't exactly kill, well unless there's complications in birth which soaps haven't really highlighted much either. But yeah it's completely the wrong message they're sending out without really focussing on STI's; it's no wonder teenagers adopt the notion that STI's will never happen to them.

Kim, totally agree.. my niece is very young and has 2 kids and it was only as her last child was born with problems that she has said she is not having any more.. I think if my grandniece was fine then my niece would have had more kids...
Soaps don't show the other side of pregnancy and birth. the perils of smoking and drinking during pregnancy. The complication that can happen during birth and how much some parent can struggle to bring a child up

I mean I think in the past year we have seen an increase in adverts that are trying to tackle the promblems of STI's

I agree and the teen pregnacies they have shown are not true to life, look at Sarha, that wasn't a true to life teen with a baby, she stayed on at school, held a full time job, future romance's and a big wedding then started a new life in a new country, i know a lot of teen mums & life is nothing like that, it's bloody hard - i had my first child when i was 25 years old, and damn i wish my life was as good as hers. If Rosie is pregers i hope they show a different more true to life example

[Abbie]

I just think they have turned Rose into a horrible character, I can see her turning into a Tracey barlow

Oh, I hope not, but you are right, she has become very precocious.
