6 weeks pregnant'Homeschool or public school?

-i am six weeks along and plan to finish out my freshmen year in public highschool,

however when school resumes in the fall i will be further along in my pregnancy,should i enroll in independent study(similar to homeschool)for the remainder of my pregnancy?



and if that works out well,would it be smart to finish highschool in homestudies so i can work and care for my child..



thanks for the advice((:You are soooooo gonna be in for the change of your life. I had all these little Martha Stewart visions of staying home with the baby. Lots of time to sew little jackets and clean house and play Mommy. I didn't realize it was going to be endless nights of no sleep and a house that looked like a Babies R Us had been detonated in it. And I was all done with school up through college, too.



Homeschool independently. Get as much done as you can when you're pregnant, because this will be the easiest the baby is ever going to be!!! (If you're catching a lot of flak about being a teen mom and getting talked down to by the OBGYN, consider an independent midwife. I've heard good things from that perspective, and I personally will never again give birth without one!) Take at least the first three months off with the baby. You'll need it just to survive day to day, learn how to nurse, etc. Those are the hardest; the first four days are absolutely the hardest, then three weeks rolls around and the kid will go through a growth spurt and drive you insane with constant crying. Ditto six weeks, and again at 3 months. After that the worst is over. If you hate parts of the Mommy Life and think you got a bait-and-switch on the nursing deal, that's totally normal. I used to think I had some kind of hormone deficiency, or all those perky little mommies who spoke about bonding were psychopathic liars. You grow into it, so allow BOTH of you the time to adjust.

Don't know WHAT to tell you about working! I still can't balance two kids and a career to any degree of sufficiency in my mind....Don't do either. Completely enroll in online homeschooling. It will be better for you health and safety medically wise. also then when the baby is born you will be able to return to school as soon or as late as you want without the added stress of catching up to a class. Also this will allow you to rest more, spend time with your baby, and if you have a laptop go on a day trip and still get some work done in the car if you have a mobil hot spot. One last thing because in homeschool you don't have to do gym, switch classes and any of that time wasting stuff your " school day" will be shorter so you do more free time stuff. And not having to do gym will be safer for you and the baby in the beginning of next school year. Hope all is well and good luck to you and your baby!
Sorry to see some of the stupid answers here.



My sister was a senior when she became pregnant with her son (now 19). She did a home study where the teacher came to the house and helped her with her school work until she was able to return to school. That may be an option for you if you are interested in returning to public school.



If you are not interested you may want to look into programs like K12 that offers a complete high school curricula and is accredited so you get the fancy high school diploma. In some states it is offered for free. Since you didn't tell us where you are I can't give you a direct link to it but you should be able to find it on their web site. http://www.K12.com There are also other private school options like Penn Foster and Christian Lighthouse Academy.



Be sure to look into the laws of your state before you start any home school program. You can find them at http://www.hslda.org.
I dont agree with Emilee at all. I wish I could keep on thumbs downing it!



I think homeschooling would be a good idea, but If you can, return to school ASAP. It may be hard to leave the baby after its born but its best for you. My mom had my sister when she was very young, but my sister turned out great and they have a wonderful relationship. You can still live your life, ur just gonna have to work a little extra hard :)
home school so you can be there for your child as well. Good luck!
omg...thats kinda young to be havin a kid. I'd get home schooled. Some kids at public schools can be ignorant as hell.
how old are youu? :|
I would go to public high school. Sure people will look at you differently but you have to remember you did this to yourself. Plus if you continue high school chances are that you will stay more well rounded. I know that this is none of my business to be poking around into but i would consider adoption. maybe you can find an open adoption. you are only a freshmen and you have your whole life ahead of you and I wouldn't want that to be ruined. You child will have more opportunities and a better childhood with a family ready for a baby. I hope this helped and I hope you consider your options with an open mind. I wish you good luck.

Can you answer mine?

Public school. If you call MTV, you might get to be on that show.
