About Diana Archer
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions on looking after your baby, looking after yourself during the pregnancy, dealing with friends/boyfriends/parents, dealing with school, telling your parents, and I am also a good listener if you just need someone to hear all your worries. I really care about the people that ask questions, and I'll be right here every step of the way! I also got pregnant myself at fifteen, so I'm not going to judge you. Oh, and guys, I'll be away for a while soon, so if you want someonet to talk to, before I'm away ask me for my email, and I'll keep in touch:) Oh, and yes, I do support abortion. Keep that in mind if you really are against it. Oh, and if you feel like calling me names (As some people do, as they can't handle people who are different), don't worry, I promise that I don't mind:)

Experience
I'm a sexual health nurse at a Family Planning clinic. I have many qualifications and much experience in the area of teenage pregnancy, having done counseling in this area, and administer practical advice on baby care, the emotional side of the pregnancy,telling your parents, how to deal with school, and much more. Am currently studying to upgrade to a gynecologist, but I've also done a lot of papers on midwifery

Organizations
Family planning clinic, Youth Help, Teenage Pregnancy Association.

Publications
nope.

Education/Credentials
Studied at University of Auckland. Have also trained in counselling.
