I did find some sites online doing the following search. Online High School Diploma - Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Online+High+School+Diploma&btnG=Search)
I know that many high schools now days also offer babysitting services at the schools. Is it possible for you to go back to school where you live to get your diploma? Have you had your baby yet?

Hi
Try to get a doc's excuse for the missing days. Most public school systems are required to let you make up the work with an excuse. Even if you are unable to get the excuse, most teachers are willing to work with students that are willing to learn. Try talking to your teachers. If you are unable to return to school at this point, talk to your guidance couselor to get enrolled in a "homebound" program. This will allow you to continue you H.S. ed and receive a diploma vs. GED while you're pregnant.

You really need to get your diploma -- I looked at some of Google search programs
Some allow you to start where you left off -- It will probably cost around $300

Check with the high school you went to or the community college in your area. The cc may have a bridging program to help kids who dropped out of high school take certain courses, even online, to get their h.s. diploma. My cc does this.

Talk to your principle and get notes from your doctor... they are supposed to waive absences that are medical if all of the work has been made up. I did it for a car accident. Different states may have different guidelines so deffinantly try to work something out with your principle. It is best to go back to high school because a high school diploma from a community college or similar is still looked at as a drop out by many colleges.
