Have Questions My Girlfriend Is Pregnant! Posted: 01-02-06 18:14pm
Hey my girlfriend and I just found out she
was pregnant a week ago today. She is 6
weeks tommarow. Im so excited about the
pregnancy. But anyways im 17 years old (
she is 16 ) and we have been dating for
almost 3years:) !!!! I am wondering how
people have gotten threw having a child
while finishing high school. And how
people have told there parents. We are
pretty sure we are keeping it.... But we
are really thinking about the future. Im
so excited to be a father ( hopefully ).
If anyone has any advice on telling your
parents and also how people have gone
threw school with a child.
Thanks!

Hey I saw ur reply on my reply to the
other post ... So thanks very much. And
ill post this in the other one too shes
home safe and sound and loving every
second with her grandson. Ok so u read
how to deal with th parents issue ... Do
it how ever u feel comfortable just be
mature and handle it well so they
understand u can do ok being a parent. I
was in the middle of my junior yr when I
found out I was pregnant and so I went to
a new school that had internet tests all I
had to do was go in and take my finals it
was really awesome I emailed all my
assignments in except a few projects and
it helped out alot. I wasnt able to get
off the couch much bc I spent my day
throwing up but if ur gf does ok with the
morning sickness theres always her being
able to work to save up a bit of extra
cash for when the babys born. If not its
cool too. But the school I went through
was awesome. Im not sure of the options
available in ur area but u should look
into virtual and virtual charter schools.
Let us know how it goes cuz im still
curious and u can email me or whatever if
u guys ever wanna talk.
Cangratulations on the new lil one!!!!
Thay are amazing

Some places have special schools where you
can take your baby with you. Not sure how
it would work though, if everyone's baby
is crying in the class, how do you get
work done?

haha I go to one of those schools. They
have a infant and toddler daycare
centre...So you don't actually have the
baby in your classes with you (although
sometimes teachers will let you bring them
in, and they have a special class for
parenting and your baby comes to that) and
if you are breastfeeding or your baby is
really fussy they call you out of class.
It's a very cool school. I recomend them
to anyone who has one in there area. In
my school its also availiable for pregnant
girls aswell (i am almost 31 wks).
I was 17 when I found out I was pregnant,
and I was really scared to tell my mom.
So I told her through a letter. She
wishes I had told her to her face, lol but
I am glad I did it that way. I poured my
hear out into a letter and then left it on
her bed for when she came home, and then
waited for her to read it. Lol I found it
gave her a few minutes to decide how to
handle it without just freaking
out...Which maybe she wouldn't have done.
Everyone is different. She handled it
really good.
Anyways good luck and keep us informed.
Pm me is you want to talk.
