Facts to Keep In Mind If You Are Pregnant During College
If you’re navigating college and pregnancy, here are three things to consider.
1. Your Educational Status Is Secure.
If you attend a school that receives federal funds, Title IV prohibits discrimination based on sex, which includes pregnancy. This also includes parenting a child while in school.
You have rights under Title IX, including receiving reasonable adjustments, continued participation, excused absences, opportunities to make up work, and more.
If you sense that anyone is pressuring you to make a specific pregnancy choice or harassing you about your pregnancy, please report it to your school’s Title IX Coordinator or other staff member.
2. Can You Manage School While Pregnant?
Perhaps you have never considered this question, especially if your pregnancy is unexpected.
Maybe you’ve always wanted to be pregnant but desired to finish your education first. Or perhaps pregnancy has never been on your mind before.
Ask yourself the following questions:
-
Will your partner support your pregnancy?
-
Do you have a support system of family and friends?
-
What organizations are available to help you?
Many women manage pregnancy and college. You need to decide what is best for you.
