How hard does it get??

I'm a 20yr old and have just found out that I'm pregnant. I don't know what to do. I work a full time job, I study part-time and don't know if I can handle or afford having a baby, yet I feel so joyfull knowing that I got life inside of me but knowing that I'm not ready, what would be the best way to handle this and how do I tell my parents and family??

Is your boyfriend supportive? I know it seems overwhelming right now but it will be the most magical moment of your life when you first hold that beautiful little baby in your arms. And your family will deal. Babies tend to have a way of making everything seem okay!  Good luck to you!

Its do-able.  I was 19 when I had my daughter.  I work fulltime, and go to school almost fulltime as well.  We have a decent life, we do all sorts of things together and she is happy and healthy.  Just because you are pregnant doesn't mean you have to change your whole life, it just means you need to nbecome better at scheduling things and managing your time.
