Hey, im new to this site so sorry if there has already been a post on this, but i just wondered how many people have fallen pregnant whilst at university? If you have, have you stayed on your course, and how did you manage? Did people look at you funny when you walked round university or did you get a good response from everyone? I know its probably not the most ideal way for it to happen, but just wondering what peoples thoughts are?

Hey hun, im at uni going into my second year, and fell pregnant in my first year. Uni have been really understanding and are allowing me extended deadlines and extra time off when the babys here. I go back on monday and i will be 34 weeks pregnant, and am planning on going back for about 4 weeks until babys due! To be honest, i get looks all the time because im 19, but i dont care, nobody knows me and at the end of the day im at uni tryin to make a better life for myself when im older so who r people to stare or look in disgust! r u at uni? xxx

Congratulations! Bet you cant wait! I was at uni last year in my first year and quit because of various reasons. Im now going back and I have to retake half of last year and start my second year. Im getting married next august, but just thinking im going to find it so hard to not have a baby cus im soo broody all the time. I just wondered if anyone had managed it before. What are your plans for when your baby is born?

I am doing a BA in digital graphic design, and when i leave i would like to go and do a masters degree. I love uni and feel at ease after i told them i was expecting, as they were really supportive they also said i only have to go back 2 days a week after christmas. (baby is due end of october, they have allowed me time of until after christmas) i wouldnt worry hun, dont worry if u think people may look at u funny etc. because remember ur their to make a better life for you and your family! their is also a few other people at my uni who r pregnant, and have got new babies, they all cope ok! xxxx

Hiya,
I fell pregnant in my final year at uni, it wasn't exactly ideal timing, but i managed and graduated in july with a 2:1 which i was absolutely chuffed with!
It was really hardwork gettin my assignments done when i jst felt so exhausted all the time, but i think bein pregnant gave me motivation cos i wanted to do well 4 my baby. Am def glad the baby wasn't born til after i finished tho, cos now she is here it tirin and i coudn't imagine havin to do work 4 uni aswell!
