Navigating an unplanned pregnancy while managing college life can feel like an impossible situation.
You may have many questions about how this pregnancy could affect your future. While the future might seem uncertain, having the right knowledge and support can empower you to move forward with confidence.
This Is Your Pregnancy
Facing a pregnancy during your college years brings unique challenges and decisions. You may hear strong opinions from loved ones, each offering advice on what they think you should do.
Amid all these voices, it’s important to remember that the decision is yours. You have the right to choose what’s best for you and your future.
You should also know that continuing your education is possible during pregnancy and after your child is born. Title IX protects pregnant and parenting students from discrimination, ensuring your college cannot treat you unfairly because of your pregnancy.
Lean On Loved Ones
Support from those around you can make a significant difference.
- Your Partner: They can offer emotional support, attend appointments, and help with daily responsibilities as you navigate this journey together.
- Your Parents: Their experience and wisdom can provide valuable guidance and reassurance during this time.
- Your Friends: A listening ear and understanding from friends can help you feel emotionally supported.
Each of these support systems plays a unique role. By communicating your needs and accepting help, you can build a strong network to lean on throughout your pregnancy.
Even if you feel like you have no one to turn to, you are not alone. The Acadiana Pregnancy Center & Clinic is here to support you every step of the way.
