Thanks guys
I've been thinking about it alot (as you can probably tell as I'm on the net at 2am!) and I think I'm just gona go ahead and tell them. Just sit them down and tell them what I'm gona do. I'm scared though, it makes it all so real. But it has to happen sometime!
Thank you so much for all ur comments and support, you've all been brilliant. I didn't really know what would happen when I put this post up, I just needed somewhere to turn to and to talk to people who knew what I was through but you have been absolutely great, and made me feel so much better about it all.
Ok I know this sounds stupid but something happened today and it kinda made me doubt my decision.
I got a letter from Manchester university making me and offer for the Social Work degree I applied to do. The admission process is really tough (1200 apply, 200 get asked for interview and they make 70 offers) and I'm so happy I got in but now its started me thinking about how on earth I can possible do it if I have a baby.
I know that it shouldn't change anything, but it just did. I so want to go, and what if I can't? I feel awfull, that sounds so selfish but I'm so scared I'll regret my decision. I just don't know what to do.

Hi Ellianna
I am a mummy of five at 26, i had my 1st at 16. and I am currently at college, working part time and looking after my children.. I have just applied to uni for a midwifery degree and although it is difficult it CAN be done. I am sure that you will find that your family will be lot more supportive than you think. You need to make the right decision for YOU and your PARTNER . It is a long hard road being a parent at a young age and although i would not advise somebody to deliberately take this route it is possible to have a career, study and do whatever you put your mind to with alot of hard work and dedication. Maybe speak to ur family and seek advice from your uni to see if they can offer any help and support with any issues that concern you. You may be able to delay your start until after the baby was born or they may be able to offer assistance with childcare / funding issues etc... GOOD LUCK whatever you decide. I f you need to talk, dont hestate to contact. kelx
my sister is in uni now at 21 and is 7 months pregnant, uni's do all they can to help you. they cant single you oout because you have a child. just go and do whats necessary, if your good enought o get a place, theyll giv it to you, even if you dont accept this yr if you find it tough, ask them to do it for next yr, they can do that
Theres lotsa help for people wanting to pursue careers when they've got kids, if you choose to keep the baby then you just gotta find out what the uni offers.
Only you know what the right decision for yourself is. You dont wanna spend half your life regreting past decisions. Just take time to yourself and think about whats really right for you. Alot to deal with but life is difficult 90% of the time.
