I am beyond nervous since I’m supposed to start college around my due date. I’m totally at a lost on how everything will work out for me. I’m afraid I’ll be to exhausted and back out.

There are likely scholarships or bursaries that you didn’t even know existed, some of which are specifically for parents enrolled in school. […]

I read your comment and thought it was me who was writing it! I even postponed the courses I too was enrolled in because my baby is due NOW! (He is 4 days past due. January 10th was his day. It has come and gone, lol). I hope to enroll again in the Fall of 2020. But I too am feeling the pressure of whether or not it’s even going to work out. I’m so optimistic. But honestly, the financial aid paying for part time, opposed to full time, is what worries me the most. I know I could breeze part time. But full time was hard enough when I was single and childless!

I’ve had very high hopes of finishing college and perhaps even double majoring. I already have a year of college under my belt, and decided to take a small break to spend extra time with my husband, since I was feeling very emotionally overwhelmed during my most recent semester. After doing some research, I decided to pursue my degree entirely online so we could finally get a start on our family (I thought a couple online classes at a time would be workable with that); lo and behold, the Lord decided to bless us with twins on the first go! Now, I had my doubts with taking care of just one child, but two?? I was wondering if should even start again on school this spring (2020) since that’s when the little ones are due, but I fear if I don’t, that I never will finish. And that would be a great disappointment. You spoke so highly about online classes, and I happened to find a college that offers degree programs completely online. Reading your post was very motivating especially when you share about how the reactions you received made you even more determined. I completely relate to that! In fact, some of my family don’t support me going back to school simply due to the fact that I will have two newborns to worry about. However, it is so important to me to finish, not just for myself but also for my family. It actually empowers me that my babies might actually be just old enough to vaguely remember my receiving my diploma. Anyways, I apologize for this long winded comment, but I would like so much to connect with someone about this who has been through this struggle. Any motivation/advise you can offer would be greatly welcomed. Thank you!

My name is lily I’m 19 and currently in hair school and just found out I’m about 5 weeks pregnant! I gave hair school a try cause I felt a little bit pressured by my boyfriends mom cause that’s all she ever told me I should go do! I had just gotten kicked out of my moms house so I was looking for guidance and I wish I hadn’t listened to signing up but i put on a happy face and signed up and I hate it ! I want to go to college to be a teacher but now I’m pregnant and I dont know how I could even handle it

I decided in June 2018 to go back to college now knowing what I wanted to major in. I’m now half way through my first semester at a new college and it’s been exciting but challenging. I say challenging because I found out in September 2018 that I am pregnant with my second child and that’s when the morning sickness kicked in. I have 5 more weeks left in this semester and the morning sickness has started to subside but all I have been thinking about is how will it be when I attend college with a baby by my side Fall 2019? I thought about going to college during the summer but now I think I may need a break to focus on the baby for 2 months even though I may still work. What makes everything a bit easier for me is that I have a 6 year old daughter who loves helping her mommy, a wonderful husband and I attend college online so its more convenient for me to not have to drive out anywhere since I do work full time and I can be there for my daughter when she needs me especially after school. Next semester in March 2019 I will be half way through college to obtain my bachelors degree which does excites me but still worries me. I just hope I can make it through the last two years of college to finally receive my degree but this story gives me hope. Thank you so much!
