Im 18, (my 1st pregnancy I was only 17 & lost the baby) and Im on my 2nd pregnancy. During my 1st I was still in highschool, so I decided to not go to college unless I decided to later on after the baby. I didnt ever think about what I wanted to do after graduation. I lost the baby at 10 weeks and was completely devastated. I was depressed and honestly stressed out because I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. Now I'm pregnant again and couldnt be happier! My fiance and I have been high school sweethearts and always knew we wanted to start a family, but never knew we would so young. I do think of how I could be in a college dorm with my friends and continuing my education, but I'd much rather have a beautiful baby and an awesome partner :) I wouldnt worry hun. You have the rest of your life to go to college! Do what makes you happy! Goodluck!

I felt like my son was the push I needed to actually accomplish getting through college. I was 18 and now I am 23 pregnant with my second and am a licensed pharmacy technician.

Once  you have the baby you will be considered  an independent  on the fafsa form and could more than likely be eligible for a college grant

Babies are a blessing and your life will change no doubt..you can achieve everything u want in life it may take a little longer for you. But if u have support and help to care for ur baby and could get things done now go for it. I was 16 with first baby and im 24 with 4th baby which will be my last. I am stay at home mom. Hubby works always has. But as soon as i have this baby i will be going back to school i put my life on hold and i dont regret it one bit my kids make me wanna work extra hard :)

Im only 20 and I havnt managed to tell my family yet. But I honestly have break downs sometimes thinking that but than I remember that God has a reason for everything, he may work in mysterious ways but he does have a plan :)
