What does a possibly pregnant girl planning on going to college in the fall do?

Question

if i am indeed pregnant... do i go to school pregnant? stay at home pregnant? stay with boyfriend pregnant? work while im pregnant? so many options... i really want to stay in school, but that might be hard... especially b/c i would be due in april... any advice?

Answer 1

You completely screwed up you life when you decided to have unprotected sexual relations. Now you must face the consequences and forfeit you educational prospects and dreams.

I truly feel abject for you.

Best of luck.

Answer 2

i've been there.. and honestly it depends on where your priorities lie.. is school the most important thing for you.. it also depends on your age.. are you able to support a baby on your own? is your boyfriend going to help you? i would say if you do go to school, live at home so your parents can help you with the pregnancy but try to work to try to help out with the expenses.. but take it easy.. if your going to go through with the pregnancy then you can only do so much.. and i would say if you want the father to be in the child's life then you should stay with him if you think you can.. he may be able to help.. good luck

Answer 3

Go!

Until you can't....get your professors informed that you will be due in April and arrange to study at home if you can.......

plan it out, get your parents to help once you are able to go back to school.........remember, if you stop, you may not go back and that would stimmy any success you may have had

Answer 4

I just graduated college and many girls attended while pregnant. Do what is best by you and your baby and get an education. The professors will HAVE to accommodate you if the doctors give you orders and you have legitimate medical excuses/ notes. Also as for April due date before finals they can 1. Give you your finals early or 2. Give you a temporary incomplete until you can take your finals at a later date.

You will be fine you are not the first young woman to attend college pregnant and you will be doing the right thing.

Answer 5

Do what you believe is right for YOU. I became pregnant my first semester of college( with a longtime boyfriend :) ) but I stayed in school, my son is now a year and I'm still in school finishing up and planning on going to nursing school when done. But it's all up to you no one else can make that choice but you, good luck =)

Answer 6

Well it's all up to you.

You could live on campus for the first semester and then you'd want to take the second semester off. You probably wouldn't be able to finish because you'd be due in April and most colleges aren't out until May, there'd be no real reason to start a semester you can't finish.

This will give you time to get where ever you are going to live all setup and baby proofed and such, time to prepare mentally and physically. Then when you have the baby, you have 5 months to bond and be extra motherly before you can go back to school in the fall. You should commute to school because most schools don't have "family" housing. If your school has a daycare you can put the baby in, do that. If not you'd need to hire a nanny or get a family member to watch the baby while you go to classes, or maybe you and your boyfriend could work your schedules so that one of you is always there and you don't have to have someone else watch the baby.

Good luck!

*EDIT*

you guys should try and get an apartment off campus together. that way you won't have to move all the way back home if you take the spring semester off and you'll be able to go back to school in the fall without worrying about housing.

Answer 7

adoption... it that isn't an option to you stay in college.. get as many credits are you can.. It you are due in April that is about the time school gets out.. talk to you professes they may let you take finals etc early.. just complete as many course are you can. You can always transfer credits to a community college

Answer 8

Stay in school land get a job!

U have 2 support your child

Answer 9

please do not have an abortion & stay with the father as long as possible :)

what i would do is, have this baby and get your parents or someone to watch him/her while you're at school. go see it as much as you can & bond with it while you have the free time. it'll be so worth it. make sure the father is there too so the baby will know & trust its father.

Answer 10

do what you gotta,  remember that your choices will affect your child as well as your life.
