Maybe it will be harder to go to school but it will not stop you from living your dream, you just have to try harder, you canhave support from family/friends, and maybe someday a nice guy, who maybe also has kids, or doesn't. Either way... a baby is a dream as well. Trust me, Ive beenscared and I still am, but that's what happens to every mom, even the ones thathave a career and a degree etc... I think that justhaving a good head on your shoulders, i think you do, is all you need to do well in life.

You can achieve anything you want, he sounds supportive and you are only 18, you have alot of time to go to university, you wont resent them, you are the only one who can stop you from doing what you want, Im 21 and almost 6 months pregnant, I wanted to go to college again in sept but I got preg andI was on birth control, i have no one and I am not affraid at all about going back to school, I know alot of older women in there late 20s early 30s that have kids, and are sitll going to college and university, dont think of this as a brick wall just think of it as a speed bump, youll be going slow for a while but it will pick up speed again,,,,,,I think you would regret not having the baby more than not going to school,,,,,,,

Wow! I am a single mom and would not change it for the world. You have many options today, weigh them out, talk to friends and family. Remember, there is always adoption, too - There are many older women who can't have a child and would love to give a baby a good home - that would be their dream come true. You can also do both, mom and school - this will require help from supportive friends & family. As for resent for a child, once you see him or her - NO WAY will you ever feel that, trust me! Have faith, pray - talk to family - you will make the right decision for all involved.
