Go to school… it’s an investment for you and your babies future

Obviously you should still go to college. Especially since you’re having a baby.

A lot of colleges have child care ask guidance for assistance! You go to school girl, you get that degree & be the best mom you can for your baby! You got this I was in the same boat now my son is 17 months old and I’m 23 weeks pregnant with our second and last (my husband is 25) I am 21. Had my son at 19.

Go to school but, take the time to apply for a voucher for child care and try to do online classes if you can the start of the year. I will tell you I have done this with two children and a PT. Job. Just try to get you pre required classes online the first semester . You can do them from home and around the babies schedule. Apply for any help for a single Mom. You will need Wic and food stamps. You maybe eligible for some other help. Do not be afraid to ask for help. I became a Mom at 18 and it isn’t easy but it is worth every minute.

I’m 29 and finishing my RN w a 5 n 2 yr old it shows them how strong u are! You’re still allowed to be your own person and also better their lives!

I took my first semester off. I then went back the next term. I still finished in 5 1/2 years

Go to college. If this was a conversation about a working mom no one would be telling you you’re a bad mom for working and having someone watch your child; this is no different. You’re going to college to better yourself and ultimately provide for your family. You’re not a bad mom for doing that. You sound like you have a plan so do it and adjust accordingly if needed. Congrats on your baby and good luck on your college years.

I say go to college. Do as much as you can by yourself, but remember grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and even some friends may help don’t be afraid to ask. People who truly care about you will help and support you. Look for grants that may help pay for school and child care

You would NOT be a horrible parent! You would be doing the best thing ever for your baby by going to college, don’t put it off

I had a 5, 8 and 9 year old when divorced. The following year I started college. It took me 8 years. Two classes a semester. Fall, spring and both summers sessions. My kids were teen agers when I finished. It was normal to work, take care of my kids and go to school. I did it. Its all a matter of whats most important to you.

I can say one thing. Once you get that education and that good job, life gets a whole lot more comfortable.

Go… Figure out your support system beforehand and go only if you have enough people to help you with the baby, if not then the answer would be no. Wait until the baby is older if you’re still interested by then.

I was already in college when i got pregnant and they told me to take a break when my baby came. But i refused to, i wanted to finish. You are not a bad mom. You are doing the best thing :smiling_face:

Do college, reach out for help from your parents or his parents if you need to. You’re not a horrible parent, you are doing what is best for you and for your baby.

Go to school IF you can get childcare. No, your life doesn’t stop. At the same time, you’ve gotta be realistic and compromise and do what works for everyone.

Just make sure that you are able to take a break and make sure what you take will be counted. Sometimes when you take a break like that its wasting time cause they don’t count it. Keep up the great work and always push forward. Get it out of the way so you can have a better future for you and your child and never depend on another person.

Don’t put it off or you will never go! It’s not going to be easy, at all. The nights are long and sleepless, but it’s worth it. You will create a wonderful life for you and your child. And don’t be afraid to ask for help. Whether asking the father, your parents, his parents, or any other family or friends you have. They want you to succeed too and I’m sure will help you as much as they can whether it be with the baby or school stuff. Good luck!

If you xan do it and jabe someone willing to watch baby, go. Itll be good for you and baby in the future when you get the job you want so you can support yourself and baby. Will dad be working part time to help with babys diapers the what not?

It really depends on how you feel after you have the baby… Some people are more attached than others. Some people have postpartum depression afterwards. There are a number of things that would effect your ability to go to school and do well.

Go to college and finish. It’s better to do it know then wait its More difficult when your child gets older. Good luck stay positive :pray:

Dont pay any attention to anyone of these rude comments. You do what’s best for you and that baby. I got married at 18 and got pregnant right after. And I wish I had gone to college. I dont have any advice for the exact questions you asked. But I do want to say GO YOU! You are being super brave and you’re doing what you think is right. Congrats on your sweet little baby.

My friend got pregnant whilst at uni she was studying to become a teacher she found it tough but is now a qualified teacher with an almost 4yr old live your life how you please don’t let anyone put you down or stop you your doing it to better yourself and so you can support your child in the long run xx

Do it. If you put it off now, it’ll be easier to think of excuses later. Besides, it’ll be easier while the baby is little

I’m due in June and currently enrolled in college. I’ll be enrolling in a new university and starting classes for the spring semester of 2020 so I can have a bit of time with her before I start focusing on class as well! Definitely stay in school, you’ll be able to give not only her but yourself a better future. It will be hard but you gotta push through it for the both of you. Good luck to you! Keep your head up, anything is possible! :two_hearts:

Follow what you feel you need to do. You are going to have support her and will be more capable at a better with a degree. And honestly day care and preschools are food for children. Being around other children helps them to learn, how to be more independent. And you will be teaching your child to reach for their dreams and work for what they want in life. Follow your instinct and you will be fine. Hold your head high and believe in yourself and you will do wonderful.

Do your best to go to college, it will be hard but if you can do it, it will provide a better life for you and your child.

As long as you have someone to look after bubs while you’re at college, and have a very solid support system (studying with a newborn will be stressful), you can definitely do both! Bettering yourself can never be seen as bad parenting. No matter how soon after giving birth, you’re ensuring that you can provide for baby.

Truth - I would go part time for the 1st semester. The second you hold your baby you are not going to want to do anything but that. If you have a strong support system behind you then I would go full time after the new year. Getting a degree will help you and your little family a whole bunch but you also want those 1st few months with your child.

I believe in you. You can do. Go to college get your edu and your kiddo will be fine. You will be a good mom. Plus if you have good edu your kid will have good foot steps to follow

Part time first semester because baby will need frequent feedings and it’s bonding time. Then second semester go full time.

If you can find somebody that doesnt mind keeping your baby then you should go to college.

I would maybe due few classes to start of with or maybe wait 1 semester. Then maybe you will know exactly what you truly want. Instead of having the what ifs alwsys in your mind. Good luck hun being a mom is such a gift.

Try open adoption, you can see and visit

Go ahead and go, I had my baby right after graduation, and didn’t go on to further my education bc I figured I would do it later… That hasn’t happened yet and she is soon to be 3.

Have you thought about getting your degree on the computer

First you are amazing being so thoughtful as a soon to be mom and looking out for your future! Having a baby at such a young age will be rewarding and hard at the same time! You have lots of time to live your life so take college slow but keep at it. Try to do online classes as much as you can that first year. Don’t try to do too much as motherhood is a gift from God and there are pure sweet moments you won’t want to miss. Keep a balance between that wonderful gift and your future. If you don’t finish a degree in the same time others do, it’s ok! Motherhood is making a difference in another’s life. I e been a single mom too and you have to be sure you can take care of yourself and kids. Never be dependent on a man 100 percent.
