Pregnancy Info HOME

I might be pregnant but i am not in college just yet. I am a high school senior and I would not agree with you to quit school to work. All you have to do is believe that you can do it and not stress over it. Just take it one day at a time and be positive. Don't let it get to you. And do tell your mom if she really does support you she will understand.

I feel you on this. I am 21, 6 months pregnant and also have 11/2 left in college. My recommendation for you is not to quit school. If you can you should definetely try to complete school (even if its part time) as much as you can now that you are pregnant. This way can still finish off some of your coursework rather than increasing the amount of cla__ses you'll have to take once the baby is here. For instance, Im still in school right now my current quarter ends in March which is when i will be bearly hitting my 8 months. You dont want to give up school and all the hardwork you've been putting into it the last 3 years. I know its stressful but one way or another you'll make it through. Also, dont be afraid to go out there and seek financial help and help from government a__sisted programs....it'll help you alot. hope this helps!

Stay in School! Finish your degree! Once the baby comes and gets older maybe even siblings it will be harder and harder for you to go back.. Do it now while you are still in the mind frame!

I'm uncertain of what u should do. I'm in a similar situation. However, I"m 19 and my guy doesn't want the baby. I come froma strong christian home and am anti- abortion. He is mad that I won't abort it and refuses to talk to me. What should I do?

It's odd. I am in your exact situation except we don't know if we will keep the baby. We're already in love with our baby, but we're afraid that we might not be able to support it. However, I don't think you should drop out of school. You should look into taking some independent study cla__ses. That way, you can do school work at your own pace.

HEY KATE IM ALSO IN COLLEGE, I FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE MY 20TH BIRTHDAY. I LIVED AT HOME WITH MY MOM WHO PAYS FOR MY SCHOOL. MY ADVICE TO U IS TO CONTINUE GOING TO SCHOOL. THE FALL SEMESETER ENDED IN DECEMBER AND I HAD MY BABY IN JANUARY. GO NOW WHILE U CAN CUZ CHANCES ARE THAT LATER ON U WONT BE ABLE TO OR IT WILL JUST TAKE LONGER. WHAT U CAN DO IS GET A PT JOB AND KEEP IT AS LONG AS U CAN. GOOD LUCK.

I just found out today that I am pregnant. I turn 22 in May and was hoping to graduate Fall 2005. I go to school out of state. My boyfriend of almost three years goes to a different college but in the same city and doesn't believe in abortion and neither do I, but we are still considering the abortion pill since it is early enough. I don't know what to do. It seems so easy to take the pill and my life will just go on like normal. But I am so afraid since it contradicts everything I believe. I will feel like such a hypocrit. My boyfriend graduates in May and said how both are parents would want us to get married and that we should. I don't though. I am not ready for any of that and I know neither is he. I really don't know what to do.

Have you considered adoption?

NO NO NO.... Have the baby. And you CAN finish school. continue until you really can't go. Then when you have it , take 1 or 2 summer courses. DO NOT drop out of school. If your parents are paying for it, explain to them that you WILL finish school. If he has a decent job, he can support you. Live on MINIMAL means.. and you knwo what, people have less and survive. it's not the end fo the world. besides, families and friends do help when you have a baby shower, this baby should only cost you diapers, and food. what baby needs 20 pairs of clothes. have the baby, finish school in the mean time. then marry, or now, then work and raise your child.

Girls, Please please please stop worrying so much! Don't try to control everything! God is in control and he will provide for you as long as you trust and believe in Him. An aortion will leave you scarred for life. It is NOT the easy way out! you will get through this hard time. The worst part about these issues is that the anticipated worrying can make you think "I'll be poor and unhappy" but taking a life will make you all the more unhappy. You are young and can manage school. Just modify it if you have to. Take an extra year. Don't give up..not on school and not on the beautiful thing inside of you that I know inside of your hearts you desire to love. God bless you all..you really can do it with Him!

If you want an abortion, have an abortion. It will not scar you for life unless you let it. If you don't want an abortion, don't get one. Yes, they're an easier out, but what's wrong with that? You have a life to live and things to accomplish and experience before you're tied down with a baby. Accidental pregnancies happen, don't be guilted into keeping a baby you're not ready for.

am preganant and still at school. what are the options avalible to me?

i just had a baby 2 weeks ago and I'm also 21, in college, but the thing with me is I'm a college senior. So I had the baby and came back to school a week later because I graduate in May. my mother and grandmother support me and pay for school. your best bet is to tell your boyfriend he needs to save money now, tell your parents at first they might not talk to you, (my mother didn't talk to me for 3 months) but later they will realize that a wonderful thing is about to occur. and you need to stay in school not just for yourself but for that baby because she/he will need you (that degree you plan on gaining). You should be fine. Good luck!!!!

i think u should finish school. try and get a job that wouldn't interfer with school and wouldn't cause u stress or ur baby stress.

I just found out 5 weeks ago that i'm pregnant. I'm just finishing my FIRST year of college so, yeah i feel the stress of "will i finish?" i know i will though. i might not achieve everything i wanted to, but i will acheive some of it, and so will you. Atleast you have your boyfriend around and you're still together. As soon as i let my boyfriend finally convince me to have the baby, he left me 3 days later. I had a baby when i was 16 too but she was stillborn full term. If i could go through it then in highschool, you can do it now. Trust in God because everything happens for a reason and He won't give you anything you can't handle.

i think you need to tell them, my brother and his GF were in the same position and my bro's GF's dad does hate him and the fact that she got pregnant, but the baby is born now, and he love that kid so much, he will get over it and realize you are still his little girl and that a baby you made must be precious PS dont drop out, you can get funding and scholarships to help you with school
