Bobbi can assess her health and physical conditions to become a mother. She has options of keeping the baby and become a mother or even go for an abortion considering her social, cultural and economic aspects in her life. She should be mentally ready to be a mother and take care of the child both during pregnancy and after birth if she really wants to become a mother. As a youth care practitioner I would suggest Bobby to maintain a healthy diet and routine so that it is good form the baby. I would refer Bobbi to get pregnancy care ideas from other mothers in the shelter so that she is aware about the do’s and the don’ts.
I need to have a very positive mind-set and body language when I have the discussion with Bobbi.
