I dropped out high school 4 months before i was suppose to graduate. Got pregnant 6 months later. When my daughter was about 6 months old i went back to school (online home schooling) when she was 10 months i found out i was pregnant again. I still had 3 months to go before i graduated. If i can take care of my 10 month old while being extremely exahusted from pregnancy and discipline myself ebough to graduate you can too !!

It's hard when mom and dad are in high school.  I'm sorry he isn't being a god partner in this.  Focus on you though as that is all you can control.  good luck

Hi there.  Here is my best advice.  Think "BIG" picture.  Your teen years into your early 20's is when you set yourself up for the future (often) financially.  This is the time to think about what kind of job you can do to support yourself and what you need to get there.  Yes, that is harder with a baby.  But don't allow parenthood to derail this important time in your life.  In fact, let it motivate you to take it more seriously as you will now have a little sweet baby dependent on you.  So, stay in school and take it seriously.  Think about what you want to do that will lead to a good financial future and go for it.  Trade school, community college or college.  Don't give that up.  It's hard with a baby but you'll be so thankful if you get through that and then you and your baby can live more comfortably down the road.  :>)  good luck

I'm 17 and I'm due in 15 days. I was a senior when I got pregnant but I graduated early 3 months ago. Being pregnant in high school and pregnant isn't bad. I had great friends that always wanted to help me out . You'll do fine . Just let your teachers know that so you can go to the bathroom whenever needed. Goodluck !!

If I hadn't graduated a year early I would've been pregnant at my graduation too. Im due in December and I just turned 19. Its hard and that's to be expected, but everything you're doing from this point on is for you AND THE BABY. You're going to be tired, sick and want to stay in bed all day. But remember that it is going to be so much easier on you and the baby if you graduate and have your high school diploma before they are born. You can do it, it won't be easy but it's definitely not impossible. As for the father if he is willing to be in the child's life you can always have a binding legal agreement for child support. As long as he's paying for the child the chances of him skipping out on their life will go down. If you're afraid that we won't be a good influence on the child that's a whole different story and you need to do whats best for your child. Best of luck and feel free to ask me if you have any questions, I'd be glad to offer any advice I can.

My dear look to the Lord for help for both provision for  you and this baby and for direction on what to do  next , and always remember this child is not a mistake he/ she was already planned for by God even before you had the urge to have sex so no matter what love this child regardless of it not being planned for by you , congrats !  Another word of advice do not be quick to marry because you got pregnant.   You never know what you really want until a few years have passed , God loves you both , God bless

You can do it, pregnancy can be rough at times, but just think of the end result of graduation when you don't want to do your work. It sounds like you habe a good support system which is key.

My mom knows and she was upset at first but she's excited now. My teachers counselor and school nurse all know, they have been a big help since I found out. My biggest fear is not graduating

My sister delivered her first October of her senor year, it was hard on her, but at least the baby doesn't come until after graduation. Tell your patents ASAP, even if it's scary. Alsl, stay on top of your school work even if you're feeling crappy.
