Pregnant 24 at uni

[Purdyxox]

Hello! First time posting on here but I desperately need advice. I’ve moved to a new city as a mature student 24. I am in my first year of uni studying fashion and I’ll be 25 in a month. me and my boyfriend (27) live together in our own apartment and I’ve just discovered im pregnant. Over a year ago I fell pregnant and was planning to keep it but unfortunately I had a miscarriage which led me to get myself back into education but now i’m in education im more scared im going to miss out socially if I get keep it as well as it being difficult but the thought of terminating it makes me so sad especially after the miscarriage. Has anyone been in the same situation or just any advice

Hey hun. Sorry for the loss of your first baby.
I’m currently 39 and pregnant with my first baby. I had an abortion when I was 27. As much as I wanted my baby I just wasn’t in the position to give them the best life. There’s no right or wrong decision here and it’s your body and your choice. You are still so young and have the opportunity in the future to have a family. How does your partner feel about it? Take your time to think about it all before you make a decision but make sure it’s the best one for you x

I had my first at 20 when I was at uni. I did have a termination when I was about 26 though, as it just wasn’t the right circumstances for me.

I was in my first year when I became pregnant at 20. Kept the baby. I was lucky enough to finish uni and climb up the career ladder in my 20s but I had a mum that was supportive and was able to look into support for young mums which was very helpful. It is definitely a gamble.

I also do some work in the fashion space depending on what you want to do you might find some family friendly roles but it also depends on where you were hoping to go.

It is such a tough decision to make. I hope you are able to get some support. There are free councelling services for women who are unsure via abortion clinics - definitely make use of that.

As PP said have a think about the decision as it has to be something you are 100% sure about

@AimeeLou84 thank you for getting back to me I really appreciate it! Your kind words have managed to make me feel a lot calmer about the situation as I don’t feel so bad! I feel like I’ve made my decision and then the next minute it completely changes 😅

@theprincessthepea thank you as well for getting back to me, so grateful for these lovely replies it really helps! How did you find studying at uni with a baby and did you live at your mums?

I will definitely look into the decision making at abortion clinics, I didn’t even know that was a thing!

congratulations for getting through uni with a baby also! X
