[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for this update. I remember this thread well. It sounds like she thought this through very responsibly and I wish her all the best. I remember thinking when I was her age some of the same things said in this thread, that it would ruin my life to have a baby, derail all my important plans, etc. I even remember kind of understanding when a college couple made the news by throwing away their newborn; after all, it was going to ruin their lives, right? With the benefit of much hindsight I can see that life is long, with many opportunities to start fresh. [/quote]
OP here. Yep. She talked to her advisor at college and it looks like she’ll be able to return in the fall and graduate on time with her class. This isn’t what any parent plans for their child, but I think the plan we have sets her on a good path going forward. [/quote]

Asking because my DD is 14, so we have not hit this phase of life yet. Not to be snarky.  In fact, hugs to you and your DD.   And I’m sure someone is about to say something snarky about Math being hard. But I don’t know your DD’s school calendar.  Is she stopping soon because she is literally going to give birth before the end of the next grading period?  Or because she is uncomfortable at school in her third trimester?  [b]I was wondering how tolerant college kids were about pregnant peers in 2018?[/b]

Also, did she tell the dad?  How did he react?

Again, hugs and good thoughts to your family. [/quote]

???? What do you think her peers are going to shun her?[/quote]

Not Op, but my guess is that she's due before the end of the spring semester.  She would never pass her classes if she had to take time off, give birth, recover from the birth and take care of a newborn (or possibly adjust to an adoption, whatever she decides to do).

I don't think her peers would shun her but no one is going to be asking her to parties or some of the other more active things that college kids do.  And I doubt she would be up for late night socializing or co-ed flag football even if they did ask her.

She needs some time to adapt to her new normal.[/quote]

Thinking of Casey Anthony and her darling, dead three year old. There are worse things than abortion.[/quote]
