im 17! i know people have babies alot younger than that, but i don't know if it makes it any easier..?
You keep your baby if you want your baby.
Ignore the ignorant and the narrow minded.
They'll grow up one day hopefully.
Some people think they know it all when they don't.
Your school, being Catholic, can kick you out if you're pregnant.
However, if you don't admit to being pregnant, they can't prove it.
If they have no proof then they've got no chance.
You finish your exams, and try not to stress out about it.
I wouldn't hide your bump, I'd just deny it if people asked.
They can't ask your doctor, you're legal.

if she didnt want a baby she should of used a condom if her school tried to stop her education they can be taken to court and get well fined at the end of the day u need to sort ur life and ur future baby out that comes first
maybe i should have used a condom?
i dont mean to be rude but my personal life hasnt got anything to do with you. whats done is done so there's no point giving it all the 'you should have done this..'. i thought that was really immature and insulting.

Bang out of order! With a few comments that got to me on this thread your whole disrespectful attitude caught me more ... maybe because its becoming a regular thing with you

This comment was definitely out of line.I can't even get it out of my head.
As Ella said,personal lives of people on this forum are not your concern and if you are here to JUDGE than please refrain.
To me,this comment was a very personal attack on all the women on this forum faced with an unplanned pregnancy.
I'm glad that Wobbles and Vickie stepped in in this case.

in no way should you want to hide this precious baby. Ive read some of your comments and peoples replys and i have to agree with them. I know its not the same circumstances but i had to leave school in year 10 due 2 health problems.. i had no gcses or anything.. Now in the last 2 years ive managaed to go to college and train up. Im now a fully qualified pre school teacher and 21 weeks pregnant. So dont think that if you miss these exams thats it the end of the world coz i can assure u hunny that its not. A baby is growing inside your tummy, a precious little person who needs you, not the stress this is obviously causing!!
Enjoy it, 9 months of eating what you want
take care xxx
Reading a few pages back, have you told your parents yet? I told my mum straight away and I felt SO MUCH better. I know it's hard but this is how I did it..
"Mum, I need to talk to you."
"Go on then?"
"No, I'm sorry I can't. Forget it."
"You can tell me anything."
"Promise you won't get mad?"
"Promise. Now just tell me."
"I'm pregnant."
She was upset, she did cry, but she kept her promise. She didn't get mad. After all, she's my mum. She only wants the best for me.

Well that's really really good! If you think it would be so much of a problem to stay at school why don't you consider distant schooling? Agreed the kids in school can be *in a-holes, and you don't need any added stress. If it gets to be too much I suggest you ask your mother or parent to talk with the school and arrange that you bring your schoolwork home and do it there for awhile, for personal matters.
You wouldn't want to try to hide your figure using bandages. There's a precious little being who needs all the space that he/she can get to make sure that he/she grows properly. I'm sure it will all work out don't worry!

a girl I went to school with was pregnant and had her exams a couple of weeks after she gave birth - literally 2 weeks after! She left school and went to a centre thingy for teenage mums doing their exams.
Even if everything goes pear shaped, there's still lots of options.
A girl came to my school only for her exams, she'd gone to a different school up until then.
Even if you were to not sit any of them, you could do a 1 year college course and get qualifications equivalent to 5 GCSEs, or do the re-sits as your first exams (there' a few throughout the year at schools and colleges)
There's lots of options, if keeping baby a secret from school isn't an option.
I heard of a girl who told her mum she as pregnant by showing her the scan picture. This girl was about 13 or 14. Her mum was devastated that she told her that way though.
Have you been to the doctors and got midwife appointments etc sorted out yet? and been taking folic acid? They're really important huni.
You'll make things work, I know that you will
