It's normal to be scared, it really is. Even if you were in different circumstances, there is something amazing and scary all at the same time about carrying a little one. But you can do this with a little help. Somehow regardless of the circumstances most of us muddle through.

Maybe it would help to start with the things that you do have. You apparently have a boyfriend that is willing to help. Start there.

Also, a lot of women do go to school pregnant and with children. My sister got a nursing degree with 3 boys. It's possible, easy? No, but definitely possible. I think the key is just building yourself a network of support and planning. Find out what help is out there for you and take advantage of it. A pregnancy help center can usually point you to resources in your community. If not, let me know and I'll see what I can find out for you. It's just a little easier for people in your area to find know the ins and outs. (My e-mail is wmn4life@hotmail.com - I don't check here all the time, so it is just quicker.)

Anyway, hang in there. You really can do this.
