Hi all,

This is all a little scary for me. Im 20 and at the end of my 2nd year of uni. Recently I had to come off my birth control as it kept making me pass out.

I have been warned since then that my periods may be irregular and so far its been over 6 weeks. I am waiting on a test coming through the post as I live in a very small town with very strong religious beliefs and I dont fancy having to explain to people in the one chemist in the town!

I dream about being a mum but only when I can support my children both emotionaly and finachily (sorry my spelling is awful!) At the moment Im in no state too. The test should be here tomorrow but in the mean time i would like some advice.

I take it a lot of people have had children come as a shock- I just wondered how you coped?

It doesnt help my OH freaked and wouldnt speak to me till I told him it was negative.

I feel I am still a child myself in a lot of ways and I have no one to turn to, this is such a big thing how do I handle it?

If you're saying you might be pregnant, you need to stop thinking about your OH and yourself and think about the baby. You can cope, it's a huge thing to deal with, but you can. You just have to want to.

I'm in my second year in uni too, it is difficult, but if you want it and you are prepared to take the highs with the lows then it is possible. good luck
