Getting Pregnant at a Young Age

[dark_phoenix]

Anyone? Like you are still in college and you got pregnant..Did you still continue going to school while you are pregnant? How did you deal with it in general?   

[LOVEmyLIFE]

Hi! I've been into that situation. I was 19y/o then, waited for my daughter to turn 3y/o then sabay kami pumasok ulit sa school. I never hesitated to go back. Remember it's the 2nd greatest fulfillment you can give to yourself (Motherhood is the no.1,IMO). Now, even if I don't work, I still feel contented coz hindi lang dream ko yung natupad ko as well as my parents'. I just graduated last April 2009 at the age 25y/o. BTW, I'm already married before I went back to school and it also helped that very supportive ang hubby ko with what I want in my life.

yup education is the best gift sa sarili...

[dark_phoenix]

I'll be honest. I'm worried n abaka pregnant ako that's why I made this thread arang sort of preparation or something like that.

@LOVE: Sis, you stopped schooling talaga when you got pregnant? Then went back...Yung akin kasi sis, baka if ever pregnant ako (sana hindi) I still want to continue studying while i'm pregnant. I'll be graduating next year na kasi sis. I'm worried sa mga ibang tao kung ano [textspeak!] yung gossip if they see a girl going to school pregnant. =\

i was still in 4thyr college when i got pregnant pero january this year na and i graduated march.

pero i have a friend 2ndyr palang kami napreggy na. she stopped nung 4mos preggy na siya. sinecreto niya sa school(catholic school) assuming she can get back after giving birth. pero hindi na siya nakabalik sa school namen for whatever reasons. pero now she's currently studying pero sa ibang scool na.

madali lang yan sis. sa una lang mahirap. maiisip mo ano na mangyayare sa future mo. pero lilinaw din lahat. just focus ano gusto mo and don't consider your baby as hadlang sa lahat instead blessing at inspiration pa.

[dark_phoenix]

^Buti naman sis. Catholic school din ako ngayon. Pero I just remembered, meron din pala kaong ka batch that got pregnant but still she continued schooling last sem while she was pregnant.

I'm also thinking the disappointment that I would give to my mom and my family. =(

@vanessas: If you don't mind, how did you tell your parents about it?

[vanessas]

hala pwede sa school niyo pumasok while pregnant? samin kasi hindi pwede e.

hmm nasa states mom and dad ko. lola and kuya lang kasama ko. tita ko nagtanong saken if im pregnant tapos sinabi ko yes. then sila na nagsabi sa parents ko. yon don na nagsimula lahat ng sakit ng ulo, sumbat and all.

sis are you sure your pregnant na ba?

[LOVEmyLIFE]

Sis dark_phoenix, I have this friend that got preggy 2nd yr. college pa lang siya and she's taking up nursing. Since she bought this up to the school admin, She was forced to shift from nursing to a pre-med course. Hindi siya nagstop and nataon naman na manganganak siya ng sembreak kaya maaga lang siya pinagbreak ng mga teacher and late na siya nakapasok ng 2nd sem. If let's say you're just 1-2months preggy, carry mo pa yan till you graduate. But may I suggest that you let the faculty know about your situation para in any case you cannot make it to school, they'll give you consideration. You're already graduating naman na pala so don't worry about those chismosa around you. Keep in mind na lang that you're a lot better than those girls who consider abortion as a solution. I'm proud of you coz I can feel that you are very much willing to continue your pregnancy at the same time your studies. You can do it girl! God Bless!

@vanessas: I'm not sure yet. Delayed kasi mens ko so para akong na prapraning sa kaka antay. Yung batchmate ko sis, she wears baggy clothes para hindi obvious that she was pregnant.

@LOVE: Thanks sis.

I haven't told any of my friends na na pra praning na ako sa kaka antay nang mens ko. =\

[vanessas]

sis mag pt ka na or pacheck sa ob. malay mo nadedelay lang mens mo dahil nastress ka na kakaisip. sana nga ganoon nalang. dami hirap pagdadaanan kasi pag buntis ka tapos nagaaral ka. ako nga tapos na andami sakit sa ulo paren dumaan. imbes na nasa states naden ako with my parents. dami talaga nagbago. and kelangan talaga ng matinding tapang. dumating nga sa point na gusto ko ibalik si baby sa langit eh.

[dark_phoenix]

^Oo nga sis. Sana nga stress lang. I've been thinking about it for a week now.

Nung nalaman mo sis na buntis ka did you tell your friends immediately? One reason hirap ako makapag open up sa kanila kasi yung isang friend ko buntis din she stopped schooling this sem.

I was 20 when i got pregnant kaggraduate ko lang. I was hired for my fisrt job, tinuloy ko kasi nga excited mgwork and swerte nga kasi ngka-work agad. pero wala pa ako 2 mos sa job I had to resign kasi I'm always sleepy and nahihilo ako. Our parents were supportive naman, di naman kami itinakwil pero mahirap kasi Iba na. me baby ka na, you have to be responsible for another person so we strived hard para di naman namin iasa ang lahat. Kmai ngprovide ng Milk, Food and diapers mga basic needs namin. Yun nga lang we need not pay the utility bills. and house rent. hehe pero thankful naman kami talaga sa inlaws ko. ngayon malaki na kids ko (mgkasunod) hahaha, school age na sila, ako naman Im back to school, getting add on units then mg MA... if ever nachambahan ka nga. make sure na you're well protected at baka masundan din yan. hahaha...

[Kady_14]

mg- preg test ka sis. barely over a hundred bucks lang yun. kesa naman isip ka ng isip. TC

you remind me of myself then. hehe

[vanessas]

^^^nako super alam agad ng friends ko. morning kami punta hosp ni bf pagpasok ko ng classroom mega iyak ako. they were supportive nga eh. wala nagsabi na palaglag or what.

sis Kady_14 magkasunod kids mo?? haha. cute.

[hallerness]

ako din just to share.. i was 21 naman when i got pregnant.. naloka din ako ng bonggang-bongga nun when i first learned about it.. yung hubby ko naman was sobrang kabado, pareho kami.. hehe.. katatanggap ko lang din sa trabaho nun, tapos ang work requires me to lift some boxes up kasi i'm with physical inventory team during that time.. so masasabi ko talagang my baby is really for me, for us.. kasi never ako nagkaroon ng hard times when i conceived my first baby.. now he's 6 years old at nag-aaral.. hehe

ganyan din ako when i was at your age.. at alam mo bang even every month during that time eh nagpe-pregnancy test ako.. hahahaha.. sobra kasi akong paranoid nun.. takot na takot akong mabuntis nun shempre.. pero dont you worry sis dark_phoenix, everything will be fine.. pray ka lang.. 

[dark_phoenix]

Mga sistahs..Good news...I just had my mens last night.

@hallerness: Naku parang ako yata paranoid na din. I was thinking magkakaroon bah din ako next month?

Let's just continue sharing about the topic nalang.

[prish]

^wow good to know false alarm pala. sana this time around you'll be more careful kasi hindi biro maging ina lalo na hindi ka pa ready.. do not enter when not ready.. haha

being a teenage mom is not the end of the world but a new beginning.. though personally hindi ko to na-experience, sympre madami din akong kakilalang maagang nabuntis and 100% sa kanila unexpected.. but its nice to see now that they are happy moms na and life goes on kahit nung at first parang depressed and problemado sila.. being a mom really changes you..

[Kady_14]

  Hi sis, ok naman pala at false alarm and my answer is YES, mgakasunod ang kids ko

daughter is 6; son is 5. hehe both bibo and goodlooking kids. (nakakatawang isipin at balikan na i was scared to death then. school-age na din sila so I have more time for myself ulit, nakabalik nga ko sa school to get add on units. hehe)

Be careful na. ngserve na lesson ang life ko sa ibang friends ko, kaya now they are very careful, choose the best contraceptive that'll work for you. mahirap yung ng-aalachamba.

sa mga Sis na kagaya ko, maagang naging mommies, saludo ako sa ating lahat!    We just move on and realize that it's not really the end of the world (like what we thought then) we just need to move on and live our lives!

God bless and [textspeak!] AM!

[LOVEmyLIFE]

Hi! Good to hear that your negative! As what my fave quote say, FORGET THE EXPERIENCE BUT NEVER THE LESSONS. This will help you become a more responsible individual. Sabi nga nila, Experience is the best teacher. You'll never see the reality of things unless you're on their shoe. Be careful next time and Good luck on your studies.

And to Kady_14, true enough! We've moved on and look at us now, stronger than ever! G'luck to all of us!

i was 21 y/o din when i got preggy.. i was still in school that time 2nd sem ng 3rd year.. by march 5 mos preggy na ko.. eh since nursing ako and we're required to take hospital duties, hindi papayag ang school na magduty ako habang preggy syempre to avoid anything teratogenic lalo na pag nagduty sa san lazaro dami nakakahawang sakit..

so hindi ko narin sinabi sa school about my condition so what i did was hindi na lang ko nag-enrol ng 1 sem saying na mei lalakarin lang ako about my visa.. hindi ko din sinabi kasi nahihiya din ako na pagusapan since maliit lang population ng nursing samen tas halos lahat ng prof ko eh kaclose ko..

bumalik ako sa school nung 2nd sem ng 4th year, so halos nadelay pa din ko ng 1 year before gumrad.. my son was still 3mos old when i went back to school.. gusto ko sana mejo lumaki pa baby ko before ko pumasok kaso parang ayoko rin na gumrad ng matanda na ko.. hehe

ayun being a fulltime student and parttime mom was hard.. lalo na yung mga times namiss ko yung mga FIRSTS ng baby ko.. pero naging number 1 motivation ko sya na tapusin studies ko and to pass the boards as well..

my baby was an accident, unplanned but he is my world..
