Pregnancy And School

My due date is on the last day of school.
Am I going to be able to go that long?
How many of you girls went to school while
you were pregnant? Was it really hard?
If you didn't go to school, what did you
do? Thanks for answering all my questions
and being my friend.
Sarah

I was pregnat during school though but it
didn't show since I was really really
skinny. But it was only for 3 months.
Currently i'm not in school but im going
for homeschooling. There are some schools
out there who allow pregnant women to
still attend so find out if your school is
one of them, other schools make you drop
out. Anyway, don't worry about us
answering your questions! It's our
pleasure, that's what we're here for! To
help each other out (:

isn't that discrimination based on a
medical condition??? I think that's
illegal...
But yeah if you work hard you can do it.
If you don't have complications and don't
go early! I couldn't have done it. But
you might be able to!

Im not in high school, but im in college
and pregnant...Im 26 weeks and its already
getting hard to fit in the desks lol I
have to sit at tables w/chairs. Other
than that, ive been fine so far going to
school except for occasional back pain.
Im taking off next semster to have the
baby, but I think I could probably go up
until a few weeks before my due date.
Maybe you can work somethign out with your
school so that you can finish early or get
work sent home or something...

Hey sarah. I'm 12 weeks along, and i'm
still in school. I'm not sure how long I
will be able to go for, i'd like to go for
as long as possible, then maybe
homeschooling.. I dont think they can
kick you out for being pregnant, I mean as
long as you can do it, they should let you
stay. Most girls that I kno who have been
pregnant in school have left at about
their 7 month of pregnancy on maternity
leave.

I had enough credits to graduate a year
early, and I took all of my classes in
packets and they told me that whenever I
got the packets finished, I wouldn't have
to come back to school until graduation.
So, I got out of school in december and
had january to get ready to have ethan and
then in february he was born and then I
went back later for graduation in june.
I was lucky to have that option available
to me. I wish that all schools did that
for the pregnant girls.

I went to school while I was pregnant but
it wasn't very fun because my school is
filled with complete idiots who would try
to trip you down the stairs to see "what
would happen" if you were pregnant, didn't
happen to me but I saw it happen twice.
If that would've ever happened to me I can
tell you right now that whoever did it
would've had a bruised face. I only went
for half the year while I was pregnant
anyway cause my principal said in not so
many words that I was basically a bad
influence..Yeah okay there's a 13 year old
getting high in the bathroom during
classes and i'm the bad influence? Psh!
Lol

As for me I haven't been in regular school
since feb...I've been going to this
alternative program which i'll finally be
done with this month..
But one of my friends stayed in school til
about one month before she gave birth..And
another one of my friends had to drop out
because the school was tryna get rid of
all the pregnant girls and they wanted to
send her to some other kinda program..

Physically, as long as you dont go into
labor before your due date. You should
be able to make it.
I got kicked out of my school, or would
have if I had tried to go back after
summer break. But I went to a christian
school. And the rule book clearly states
that "sexual immorality" is against the
rules.
I'm homeschooling right now and I am
graduating in december through that...

My dad is a lawyer so he wouldn't let the
discrimination thing happen to me...But I
don't know if my school has like a "morals
code". I just don't know if I want
everybody talking about me and watching me
get bigger and bigger.

Sarah, high school rumors are the worst..
I know, but you cant let them get to you
hun! My advice is this, keep your friends
close, and ignore everybody else.
Goodluck
oh, and if you want to hear a good story
about high school rumors, ask jess.  i'm
sure she wouldn't mind sharing, its a good
one.

Homeschooling is exactly the same as
regular school...You just do it by
yourself and at home. You have to have
all the same credits...If you do it in a
semester or a full year is up to you.
But you are required to finish your
courses that you would need to graduate.

U should talk to your principal about you
staying in school. Some christian schools
(like mine) will send you to a link school
that they have just for pregnant teens.

They have a school for only pregnant teens
here but its your choice to go. Its 2
hours late so starts at 9:30 and you get
juice and food and stuff and I guess its
really nice.
