    Pregnant college student
    I'm a freshman in college & I found I was pregnant yesterday.I took two tests and both were positive. I don't know what to do. Does this mean school is over for me? I know I'm going to have to put the baby first.. How do I tell my parents.. Im so stressed and I feel so alone I have my boyfriend and he wants to be in the picture but I feel like I can do this alone.. advice please!

    First of all, being scared is normal
    No school is not over, it just might
    Take you longer to finish it. If the father
    Wants to be apart of the child's life let him
    There's not many out there that does. And as for your parents they will most likely be upset
    They won't love you any less. Just talk to them in person,

    You see my mom got pregnant with me at my age! I'm 18! And she just graduated this past may. I don't want to live her life.. I wanted this baby just not now and I know it's a horrible thing to say but if I could have finished school before the baby was born I could give it a much better life...

    Well all I can say is do get to nervous... that will do more harm than anything... and since the semester is just starting you should be able to finish this semester... and make sure you get yourself to the doctor.. there are many ways to go to college and have a child.. many colleges even offer day care for their students that's really cheap... and even cheaper housing... and if you qualify for financial aid you will get more with a child... so its not the end of the world... many women who go to the same college as me are going through the same thing... so don't panic just think of what's best for you and your child... best of luck..

    Like I said don't get ahead of yourself.. one step at a time... first step is get an appt... and if you are going to college on campus.. you may want to look into the flu vaccines..
