edited March 2011 in Pregnant
I'm still debating on If I wanna keep my baby r not...matter of fact I KNW I want to but Im suppose to go off to school this summer..the honest to God truth is I wanna be a mom I want my baby eventually I jus knw right now is not the time..its makes me sad knowing I have to choose. there are so many goals I wanna accomplish before being a mom...I hate the city I live in & I was so excited about moving & going off to school..on top of that I've always seen myself married b4 children & if I keep this baby I will b stuck here unmarried & still in college..it will be so hard to b a mom & go to school..I guess wat makes me sad the most is knowing I'm still in the stupid city that I cnt stand..I was born & raised here but always been so ready to move..I knw in my heart I want my baby I do but I also knw in my heart now is jus not the right time...

  • I got pregnant as a jr in college. I am starting grad school next fall. My daughter just turned 1 a few weeks ago. At least once I graduate I wont have to take time off from my career to have kids. I actually planned this pregnancy also
  • @sweetness06 I no that colleges have great oportunities for mommies had a friend that got a townhouse instead of dorm life they also have day care n u can have public assistance jus look into it sometimes life throws u curve balls instead of a fast one jus work around it n make the best it will work out for u
  • You have to do what u feel is right. For me abortion isn't an option. I have my reason but i don't fault anyone for doing it. I was there in hs when one of friend did it. I watched her go into the room and in recovery and she cried the whole ride home. While it was horrible time or whatever she carries that around for the rest of her life. Can u honest tell yrself that your never going to wonder what could have been either way
  • I hate my hometown, could not wait to move for college. Got pregnant & dumped, no man in the picture. Scared out of my mind! But, I decided to keep my little Isabella Grace, she will be three in July & is my everything (: & you know what else? Almost don't with my Nursing Degree, just two more months. Nineteen now, & definitely wasn't ready to be called Mommy at sixteen. But, I did it! It's tough, but the most rewarding thing you'll ever do girl! You can do it, just gotta set your mind to it!
  • My advice would be to pray on it. I've had an abortion when I was a sophomore in HS and i've regretted it since bcz I look at my 3 children now and think that I never gave that first one a chance. I've eventually let it go but its still sad when u meet women who try soooo hard to be mothers and get pregnant, and reflect back on giving yours up. I know its a rough decision and trust being a mom is hard while going to school. I just recently grad from Heald in Criminal Justice with 3 children so if I can do it, anyone can=). @pooh22: I agree...colleges offer a lot to help their students that are parents

    Hope everything works out for you!
