In College and Pregnant

In This Article:

In case, you feel hopeless. ANYTHING is possible.

1.) Confirmation

First thing I went through is the confirmation that I am pregnant. I checked my universities policy with pregnant students and they do not discriminate whilst providing help. So, get a check on that.

2.) Staying Healthy

To stay on top of school and pregnancy, make sure you keep hydrated constantly and eat right. Exercise like walking or even yoga is healthy.

3.) Who Do I Tell?

Now, that you know. Who should you tell? Well, first start with the significant other or spouse and family, friends are optional. But more importantly. tell your university and professors. Find something that suits you if any appointments are needed.

4.) Calm Down

Yeah, I'm in college. Oh, and a senior. Sometimes I'll find myself stressing out about small things. But remember that it's okay to worry a little but, learn to take a deep breath and realize it isn't worth straining yourself.

5.) How Do I Stay On Top Of Work?

Somedays, I feel so exhausted from my body doing so much that it forgets to sleep. But I also have homework. Listen, it will be hard but I start with homework during dinner time, hour breaks, or even lunch. It's those tiny time slots you got to look for because, mom's have to sleep for herself and baby.

6.) Lastly, Have Support

Listen, I don't know who's in your life. But I will tell you this. You need a support system. Whether it's a doctor, mom, friend, dad, spouse, significant other, sibling, ANYONE. You need to have people there because isolation isn't healthy for mom or baby.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
