Ditto to the post above me. It is almost painfree as soon as baby is in your arms.. all the anxiety, fright and pain just drift away as you see baby for the first time.. you don't know if you want to laugh or cry or mug the poor baby.
I had returned to year 11 and 12 at the age of 18 and 19 and fell pregnant the end of year 11. I kept going all through my pregnancy with the support of all my teachers and principal and still got great marks (much to my surprise). I returned after the birth of my son (with a proud Nanna babysitting) to graduate.
without this support I probably still would have done the same thing, so now I can be proud to tell my children when they're older the same thing, let nothing stop or slow you down... I was extatic to find out I was pregnant but thought I couldn't do both until I tried.
I am proud of my achievements all three of them.
You go girls...don't listen to others... believe in yourself and all your ability
