I Am 21 And Pregnant..?

By business answers Posted in: Business

I have one more semester of college (after this one) that i will not be able to finish. My boyfriend will have graduated with two degrees and his father owns a business, so he will always have a job to fall back on. My parents are extremely strict and I do not know how to explain to them what is going on! I got a job while I finish this semester out and so did my boyfriend, so we plan to save as much as possible. I just don’t know how to break the news and I am scared of their reactions. Any advice? pleasssse… my baby is due in october.
My parents expect me to really succeed in life and have enormously high aspirations for me. My dad had me when I was 21 and my mom was 19.. but my situation seems a lot better than theirs and I came out okay…?
I would have to do one more semester in the fall, but seeing as my baby is due in october, I wouldn’t be going back to school. I was thinking of writing a letter to tell them?

    I don’t think you should be worried at all! You sound like you’re doing very well and I think your parents should take the news well, considering you and your boyfriend sound like you have your lives under control. You can always go back and finish college later, you may even be able to do it by correspondence/from home?
    My advice is to simply, take care of yourself, make sure you’re eating healthy, so the baby is getting enough nutrients and don’t stress, try to relax as much as you possbly can.
    I got pregant last year (a couple months before my 21st), I had only been with my boyfriend for 8 months and it was hard for me to tell my parents, but they were happy for me, unfortunately I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks, it was very painful, both physically and emotionally, but I got through it and I think it brought me and my now fiance closer.
    I wish you the best of luck! I really hope everything goes well.

    I think you could check with you school for online courses they have those available for moms and you only have to go in for the tests. I don’t know how it works you could go see your student counceler (s)he would be able to help you alot. Don’t write it to them tell them face to face you are an adult they can’t control those things of your life, tell them how you feel and things should be good.

    Although it may be hard, you have to tell them face to face. At first it might be a shock to them, however they will still love you and cherish you no matter what happens. My husband’s 17 year old sister just gave birth and no one ever knew she was pregnant until she went into labor. She as well as her daughter are doing great and my both of his parents are okay. At first his father was upset but the fact is, it was over, there wasn’t anything he could do to change it. But in the end, it will all work out for the best. There are ways to go to school and have children too, my sister has two children and she is going to school for nursing!! It’ll be okay!! :D

    Don’t quit school, whatever you do. You want the best for your little one s give him or her the best! Telling them is hard, but they will understand, and if they don’t agree don’t let it get to you. You know what is best intuitively so just write a letter, do whatever you need and be strong. There is ton of support out there, and it already sounds like you have things figured out pretty well. Congratulations on your pregnancy, and it may be hard but you have come this far, so keep going even farther. Having a baby changes everything and they are a blessing!! :) Hang in there !
