Hi. Im 17 and my bf is 19. Im a senior
in high school and I just recently found
out that im pregnant. We've decided that
we wanted to keep the baby, cause im
against abortion, but I also want to
finish high school. Can I go to the same
high school while still being pregnant???
Oh and im not quite sure in how many weeks
pregnant I am. My last period was in may,
but im pretty sure that I didnt get
pregnant till somewhere at the end of
june. What how am I suppose to know for
sure?? Oh and also, I havent told me
parents yet, but im not sure how to tell
them ... Should I just let them find out
on there own or what??

First, you need to tell your parents.
When you go to your first doctors
appointment, they should be able to tell
you how far along you are. I know most
people where I live go to a teen parent
program, but we did have someone my
sophomore year get pregnant and she stayed
in school the whole time. So, I guess it
really is up to you? But I don't know.

Congrats and good luck 8)
first off most schools do still alow you
to attend them even though you are preg.
Very few make you switch to somewhere
else.
Have you seen any preg people in your
school? If one is allowed then all are
allowed.
Secondly you need to get to a doctor asap
because their may be a problem such as
tubel baby and some others and if a baby
is tubel not only can the baby die but so
can you. So it is best to make a
apointment asap.
Thirdly you and your bf should sit down
and tell your parents and explain
everything to them such as you want to
keep the baby and so on but in some cases
if one of your parents is say strict and
mean or something or not as understanding
and the other is it is best to tell the
other one and let them handle telling the
not so understand and strict one.

Of course you can go to school and be
pregnant the wrong thing to do is
quite...
I was 16 when I was pregnant and still
went to school now I have my baby and well
im a senior and graduating ....
Tell ur parents they will be mad but they
will understand because when they see that
baby there is no anger but love ..
I know my parents were mad and now they
love there grandaughter... Take care and
stay in school

i knew that sex ed would come in sometime
in my life. But in school I was always
skipping some of my classes just to be
with my boyfriend and now I wish that I
hadn't. All well I guess.

you can still
go to school and be pregnant.My friend
did.She graduated in 1998 and had her
child in september 1998.Another girl I
went to school with was pregnant.She went
to school all the way through and her
water actually broke in school that's what
people had said at the time and that she
drove herself to the hosipital.That was
back in 1997.

Definitly tell your parents becuase they
will react better to you telling them then
to them finding out on ther own. Some
schools let you continue school, but some
schools don't, if thatis the case then
there are schools that you cangoto that do
allow pregnant girls to attend

Hi my name is nikki and I got pregnant at
15. Im 17 now. At my school you could
stay in school untill you were I think 8
1/2 mt.S pregnant. But thier all
diffrent, some you can stay in untill the
end and some they make you go to a diff.
School to help teach you about what your
fixing to get in to. And yes you need to
tell your parents, they will one way or
another help you through this. And again
when you go to your doc. He/she will ask
you questions and tell you your due date.
But you have to tell your parents first!
Lol my e mail addy is
blueflamed_boxers@yahoo.Com and yahoo
messenger is blueflamed_boxers if you ever
want to take about any thing! Im here to
answer questions! And to be there for
others in my situation! Congrats! And
good luck!

At my highschool most girls go their
complete pregnancy but some become
homebound
i don't know if you know what this is or
not but it's where you are still enrolled
in your high school you just get to sit at
home and let the teacher come to you at
your house and teach you
alot of girls do it when it gets
uncomfortable to walk around and sit for a
long time

Here you are allowed to go to school and
be pregnant. That is your choice. I'm 17
too and four months pregnant, I chose to
go to a school for pregnant and parenting
girls though. I love it, the best choice
I ever made. The teachers are very
understanding, and everyone at the school
gets what you are going through, not to
mention it's really funny to see all these
fat pregnant girls walking around. The
added bonus is that my school has a child
care centre in it, so when you have your
kid you are able to bring it to the shool.
I love it. I hope you finish school and
don't choose to drop out, because in the
long run that isn't going to help you or
your baby out. If your city/town has a
school like the one I am going too, I
advise you to look into it. They usually
offer some kind of prenatal or parenting
classes, and just provide good resources.
Good luck!! And if you need someone who
understands what you are going through let
me know, you can message me on here, or
send me an email at kimzsta
r@hotmail.Com
