What Do I Need to Know if I Am Pregnant in College?

Being pregnant in college can feel like your world is crumbling. An unexpected pregnancy might make you question whether you can complete your education.

Others have been in your shoes, and you deserve to receive trustworthy information about your options. Soundview is here for you.

Could I Stay in College?

College can be stressful—grades, papers, extracurriculars, and a positive pregnancy test. You may wonder what others will think.

First, know that you can’t be discriminated against due to pregnancy or childbirth-related reasons. Completing your education is possible but may require some extra adaptations and support.

Before making a pregnancy decision, you may want to learn important pregnancy details with the help of an ultrasound. A sonogram can provide information about how the pregnancy is progressing, gestational age, and location—all details that may be helpful as you consider your health and pregnancy options.

Weighing your options is crucial during this time. Soundview Pregnancy Services provides accurate, fact-based information on all three pregnancy options: abortion, adoption, and parenting. We won’t pressure you to make a specific decision.

How Can I Receive Support?

Choosing a pregnancy decision like parenting may seem overwhelming, especially if you’re in college. But it isn’t impossible.

Our Parenting Program offers a social work support session, a designated pregnancy advocate, and material assistance. We also provide emotional support as you navigate parenting as a student. You aren’t alone.

If you choose to make an adoption plan, Soundview Pregnancy Services educates you on your rights as the birth mother and provides information about the adoption process. We also offer referrals to reputable adoption agencies.

Though we do not provide or refer for abortions, we can educate you on each procedure so you understand the possible risks and side effects. We’re committed to helping you make an informed choice.
