Answer 3

Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Don't forgo loving and nurturing your child to acheive your dreams. You need to seek a balance. It may take you longer, but you can still do it. I'd suggest online classes so you can be at home with your baby, giving him/her the love, attention and bonding a baby needs. Most universities offer online classes. Since you are 19, I'm assuming you are either already in college or were planning to begin in the fall. You should already have your finances laid out, such as student loans, scholarships, savings, etc. I'd drop your class load to half-time, especially if you have to work.

If you really don't feel that you can make a go of it, I'd recommend adoption. Find your nearest planned parenthood center and ask about adoption agencies in your area.

This is a decision only you can make and there are a lot of factors to address. Is the father a part of your life/are you married/what are your finances/etc... You need to sit down and plan for the future of you and your baby.

Answer 4

You're already pregnant, and your asking if it's too early? Even if it was, there's not much you can do about it now! And the only person who can answer the question of whether not you can complete an education with a child underhand is yourself. You have to determine whether or not you're willing to push yourself being both a parent and a full-time student, or whether you need to wait until your kid's older. No one else can make this decision for you, or give you some kind of warm, cozy answer. Just do what you think is right and use common sense.

Answer 5

It will be hard, trust me I know...But, I have a now 3 year old little boy. I had him at 23 and thought I was too young. I have a great job and a wonderful child. Now a wonderful man in my life.
Its only impossible if you think it is...

I really shouldnt use the word imposible, more like improbable...because there is always the possibility for things...NOW, it is really up to you to make the decision about your child, no one elses. If you do not feel like you are ready, then place the child up for adoption. But this is something you need to think long and hard about...talk to your church leader or a councelor for advice...sometimes an outside voice is what you need.

Answer 6

no, you will never get through college and law school with a baby, even if you do have help it is very demanding and financially draining and than you have to deal with a very intense set of classes that require tons of memorization. you will probobly have to wait several years when the child has grown a lil to get time to better yourself. a man might have it easier but the baby needs it mother constantly for the first 5-8 years of its life. i assume you also have to work somehow to be able to even afford the kid. why is everybody in such a rush to have kids today?!? youre still a kid yourself at 20.

My mom started having us when she was 19, my father worked for boeing and brought in pretty good money. aside from all that she didnt start going back to school until she was nearly 40 and finally earned her degree when she was in her mid 40s.

Answer 7

No you can have the baby and can do just fine. Hopefully your family will be able to help you out while your in classes but it can be done. If you feel overwhelmed you could always adopt the child out. There are lots of people out there who cannot have children and would love the chance to give the little one a home.

Answer 8

I can say that there is no health risks on u or ur baby...on the contary, it's a good age to get pregnant...
U're gonna have to adapt with the added weight and the energy ur body is asking for to grow ur baby....but u will be just fine....i hope that they will give u some time off the last month or so...this will help u prepare urself..
I hope that u will be able to adapt the wonderful moments of pregnancy and motherhood with ur academic life...
Many people did it!

Answer 9

For me it would be to young, but i am not you!
If you set your mind and heart to getting through school with a child you can do it. I have personally seen this done. Just think you will be the young parent at your child's high school graduation!!

Answer 10

no 20 is not to young to have a child...but i know it is not going to be as easy to raise children and going to college.. but it can be done...i wish all the best for you.. family support would sure be nice around this time..or have a real good friend to help you...i do not think i could ever do anything to terminate my pregnancy.. i had a child at 17 but thank god i had my mother to help me.. but i hope you do manage it all and get through college..make your college work and your child the main responsibilities in your life...just take one day at a time and you should be ok...i hope you have income coming in...it is really not going to be easy but i hope you have some support to help you...good luck...god bless you.....

Answer 11

To some people it may seem early but if you have the baby's father to help you i do not see where the problem may be.But on the other hand if he is not willing to help you raise your child you might consider to pay a baby sitter to help or turn to your parents for help.It isn't early but be prepared for what may come.
