When Unexpected Pregnancy Meets University Dreams: A Parents Guide

Hello, beautiful people! Welcome to my blog. It's a pleasure to have you in this space. Once again, welcome 🤗

Our world is fast changing; things are no longer like the way they used to be.

Morality level has degraded; people have lost the fear of God in them totally. Teenagers do crazy stuff and post it on the Internet without minding if such content would get to their parents or not.

Young people would rather listen to their friends and internet influencers than listen to the wise counsel of their parents and guardians.

Gone are the days that when a child goes astral, the blame goes to the parents for their inefficiency to train up their child. This teenager has chosen on their own to be a baddie.

Young people have many things, and people are training them now, and this gets worse when they leave the confines of their parents house. There's just so much a parent can do in training their kids.

I don't think there's any parent who wants to hear that their teenage daughter is pregnant, mostly when they are eagerly waiting for the news of admission into the university.

The news of the pregnancy will send shock waves into the parent's system.

If my daughter, who is awaiting admission, gets pregnant, I definitely won't be happy about it. I would be shocked, and different thoughts would run through my mind, but I won't send her packing out of the house. Reason being, she has already made a mistake, so I wouldn't want to make a mistake of pushing her farther into the world.

I would sit her down and make her feel relaxed by creating a safe space for an open conversation. Try to find out what happened and who the child's father is. Doing this doesn't mean I am happy with the whole situation, but I am trying to prioritize my daughter's well-being and keep her safe.

I will speak to my husband about it; after that, I will take her to the hospital to know if she and the child are doing well.

.After that, we would continue to wait for the admission. If she gets admission into school, we would still continue with our initial plan; she would go to school with the pregnancy. I am not that type of mother that would take my daughter to the village to hide her from people because I don't want people to see her and start gossiping or because I am ashamed or embarrassed of what she did.

And no, it's not because I want to embarrass her or deal with her; I just want her to know that every decision she makes in life has consequences.

So she would still do almost all the things she used to do. I would make sure I teach her all she needs to do as a responsible mother.

As a parent, one of my responsibilities is to help her navigate life on this unexpected journey. The least I can do is to support her emotionally and physically.

Getting pregnant out of wedlock at your age is not a death sentence.

THANK YOU FOR READING TO THE END 😄
