Pregnancy and School: You Can Do Both

If you’ve just found out you’re pregnant while in school, you might feel like everything just got a whole lot more complicated. Suddenly, your to-do list is filled with more than just homework and exams—you’re thinking about doctor’s visits, baby supplies, and how to manage it all. Here’s the thing: you don’t have to give up on your education. It’s possible to do both, and we’re here to help you figure it out.

Step One: Make a Plan


The first thing to do is take a deep breath. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to solve everything today. Here are a few ways to get started:


  • Explore Support at Your School: Many schools have programs for pregnant students, like online classes, flexible schedules, or childcare services. Check with your school counselor or advisor to see what’s available—it might surprise you.

  • Find Your People: Whether it’s a friend, family member, teacher, or someone at ICU, having a support system is key. It’s easier to handle challenges when you know someone has your back.

  • Tackle One Thing at a Time: Instead of trying to solve everything all at once, focus on small, manageable goals. Every little win adds up, whether it’s completing an assignment or reaching out for help.


Pregnancy Doesn’t Mean Giving Up


It’s easy to feel like being pregnant puts your education on hold, but that’s not the case. Staying in school can help you build a better future for you and your baby. With the right resources, you can make it work, and you don’t have to do it alone.


At ICU, we’re here to offer free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and someone to talk to about your options. No pressure, no judgment—just support for wherever you are in your journey.
