[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]millions of women get pregnant and have abortions or keep the babies. She is an adult. Her education may be derailed for a semester or two. I honestly don’t see the big deal, [b]not exactly a teen[/b]. in situation.  I had a baby in my 3rd year of pharmacy school. I was given exactly 4 days to recuperate. Took out extra private loans for a babysitter, no family around as I was living out of state. Boyfriend was also in pharmacy school and took on a part time job to help with some expenses. We are still friends to this day. My GPA suffered some, but my professors, preceptors, etc were very understanding. I was 23 at the time. . It all worked out. Most of my friends are just starting on their fertility journey, and I have a middle schooler at home, who is an amazing older brother, and the least selfish and entitled of all my kids :). My friend had a baby in pharmacy school, and then another in med school. She was almost 40 when she finished med school. Her kids are amazing, and she is a single mother with very little family help and some financial help from the kids’ fathers.  [/quote]

OP's DD is probably 20.  :roll: 
I know you mean well, but there's kind of a huge gaping difference between having a degree already and being 23 in pharmacy school with a similarly-educated boyfriend...vs. being 20, halfway through college (no degree yet), and getting pregnant with a guy you "were never together" with.

There is no party of OPs story that is NOT a big deal. And probably 180-degrees from what she (or OP) wanted for her life.

It isn't an insurmountable situation, surely...but yes...it IS a big deal.
