I had an appointment with my personal uni tutor today to ask who at uni I need to tell that I'm pregnant and hopefully find out how I can get support.
It could not have been more of a waste of time! When I said I was pregnant she asked me what I was going to do - ie would I get an abortion? But why would I tell her something like that when I'd never met her before?
So I said I was keeping it, feeling as if I wanted to leave already, and that I'm hoping to keep going to uni though I might need to cut down on how often I go in and work out how things will be. She raised an eyebrow to this and pretty much told me it would be impossible.
I know it will be difficult but she was such a snob now I'm completely determined to make things work no matter what. She pretty much said I was being unrealistic and she made me feel really small. That's the last thing I wanted - a load of put me downs and criticism! It was just completely unnecessary!
She fobbed me off and told me to go tell the student support office! Thing is I remember very clearly at the beginning of the year being told that your personal tutor is the first port of call.
Now I just feel p***ed off! She doesn't know anything about me!
Am I being unrealistic? She pretty much told me to take a year out. Thing is how am I going to get the motivation to go back after that? I want my degree so I can get a better job and we can have a better quality of life.
My sis has a two year old son and he day of his 2nd b'day she qualified as a nurse she did uni al the way thru her pregnancy had a few months off when he was born that finished it you can do it
