  • congratulations lil_bump!a summer baby will be lovely. dont worry about other people, the worst thing u can do is think of anyone but yourself now. sod other people and what they think and enjoy your pregnancy!
    im 21 and at uni and have had lots of support from tutors,family andpartner. u will be off from college in the hardest part of pregnancy so u can concentrate on ur studies still. unlike me, i did all my essays at home and missed lectures as baby was due early dec.
    do it all for yourself and your baby, and good luck!
