So my girlfriend is in her 1st year of law school and the news was dropped on me this week that she is pregnant. Has anyone had experience where they or their significant other went through school while pregnant and or raising a young child? Any advice.

I'm 24 and she's 22. I have a full time job and will try my best to support us all through this, but am by no means an OT baller.

She's also enrolled at Loyola and I was assured the pregnancy wouldn't be grounds for throwing her out, but I have a fear of some backlash since it's a Catholic school.

Any help would be appreciated and there will be no pics given (yes, she's hot).

You will pay for her tuition so she can learn about child support laws. Congrats

Yes. Many people have and do juggle a huge work and/or school schedule while having young children.

It won't always be easy but you should be able to figure it out.

I don't know anything about Loyola but it sounds like you're just freaking out a bit.

How long have yall been together?

When is she due? If it's over the summer that could work nicely if she wants to continue pursuing her law degree.

People go back to school all the time when they're older with families and such. Yall can find a way to make it work.

I always wonder how people get knocked up since there's only a 24ish hour window that a woman ovulates. Were yall not using protection?
