To start off with, I am 17 years old and 28 weeks pregnant. I have had prenatal care and am doing okay, as well as the baby. My family and my boyfriend’s family both know of my pregnancy and are being very supportive. My boyfriend is a little older than I am and has been independent so that helps a lot. I recently took off work at about the same time school ended which was about a month ago and will go back after my pregnancy.
No one knew I was pregnant when school ended because I was only 5-6 months. As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I kicked it up in high gear and decided what I wanted to do with my life and how my plans will change. I took online classes which required me to put in less hours than traditional school and I ended up with almost enough credits to graduate. I will be taking pre-pharmacy college classes early and then pharmacy tech this fall as well as finishing up my last credit of high school to graduate early ( I am suppose to be a senior this September). I’m the only one with potential in my family to do something more with my life, so i’m not going to waste it!
In no way am I ashamed of myself or my child! I just don’t want to be stressed out even more with the extra unwanted attention.
I feel somewhat wrong for hiding my pregnancy from people at school, but at the same time I feel like that’s what I should be doing. I mean, these people are not going to be raising my child, so why should I care? I had lots of friends and now It’s like I have dropped all of them simply because I don’t want them to know. I just don’t know how their reactions are going to be towards my pregnancy.
I will have my baby in late August/ Early September before school starts. Would I be wrong for hiding my pregnancy from people at school the ENTIRE time?
I know it’s going to be difficult whether 17 or not and I’ve realized that about 28 weeks ago. I know i’m going to be a great mom because I won’t let myself be anything less! What do you think about my decisions on hiding this pregnancy? I will understand if there is negative feedback since everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
