Since I am Catholic, there are commandments and one is no sex before marriage. Many schools uphold these beliefs, but could be more strict in other countries.
I went to Catholic schools for most of my life, and there were some pregnant girls in high school. They didn't get kicked out. But, there are rules to each and every school.
I do sincerely hope that you finish your exams without anyone noticing your pregnancy and do entirely understand your concerns. Chances are you may not show at all or very much by the time your exams come.
I'd watch who you tell though. Don't let your friends in on your pregnancy because often the person you think you can trust is the one that cannot be trusted.
Best wishes!

Like Leeanne I went to a Catholic school and a girl in my year (blimey was so long ago 14 years ago pains me to say that!!) was pregnant and she was allowed to stay and do her exams no problem.
But like Leeanne said all schools are different. I think you are doing great staying at school and finishing your exams as that will help in getting yourself a career going after baby is born and at school is a great start for you hun.
Also, I totally agree with Leeanne not to tell any friends as that will add to your stress worrying if they will spill the beans.
I hope everything goes well for you and don't worry too much about the comments everyone has their own opinion and sometimes can be hard to swallow them but you have great support on here judging by the response you have received.
Only advice would be to tell your parents as you could do with the support hunny by the sounds of it I can only imagine it must be scary to tell your parents.

Just want to wish you good luck in your pregnancy. You sound like a very sensible girl who just made a mistake. I respect your decision to keep the baby and i think you will do fine and turn out to be a great mum! It really is the best thing ever.
I am also very small.. and i didnt start showing properly (were i was showing even through baggy clothes) until i was about 5-6 months. It great that you want to get your school work done and there is nothing wrong with wanting to keep the pregnancy to yourself until you feel ready. I would say you should really think about telling your mum though, it is so much easier when you have that support.
Good luck hun and take care

I agree on baggy clothes, they are wonderful to hide the bump! They're easy to find now since the fashion is pretty baggy. You probably won't have much of a bump in may sweetie, just wear a baggy top and you'll be all set ! Hope everything goes well
