I am a college student, and my girlfriend may pregnant, she is also a college student. I don’t what to do. I’m not ready for a child.

Please pray for us. I don’t know what to do.

Here’s what you do: pray to St. Joseph! I’m sure that he was scared about being a father, too.

Memorare to St. Joseph
Remember, O most pure spouse of Mary, and my dearly beloved guardian, St. Joseph, that never was it known that anyone who invoked your care and requested your help was left without consolation.

Inspired with this confidence, I come to you, and with all the ardor of my spirit I commend myself to you. Do not reject my prayer, O Foster Father of the Savior, but graciously receive and answer it. Amen.
 
I will pray for you, of course.

Don’t be afraid. To have a child in the family is one of the greatest gift God can give you. And it is not hard. You will make it, no doubt. All you need is to love your child and each other, and that is all. That is enough, God does not require more from you. The child is His gift to you, and what ever problem you may face God is with you, loving, guiding and understanding.
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

If you or your girlfriend need to talk to someone, here’s a link with a phone #:

Your situation may seem scary now, but can turn into one of life’s greatest blessings. Hang in there and post if you need support along the way. Blessings to both of you. Will keep you in prayer.
 
Please also remember that there are lots of couples out there praying for a baby. If you decide that you and your girlfriend aren’t ready yet to raise a baby, I pray that you will consider adoption. On a personal level, my daughter and her husband have been married for 8 years and are unable to have babies. They are registered with the local Catholic adoption agency, have painted and furnished an adorable nursery and are praying every night for a baby. They have empty arms but hearts full of love and hope!! Either way, I will pray for you and your girlfriend and will include you both (and the baby) in my daily prayers!!
 
Dear St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus. Help this couple with the news of parenthood. Bless them and help them understand what a gift they have. It also comes with responsibility. Yes, being responsible for actions. Now, there is a little life involved, a little life that needs a mother AND A FATHER. Let the father know how much the little one needs HIM. It seems like the mother is the most important at first, but the father is so, so important as the little one grows. Give them strength, faith, peace, hope and love to hang in there together until they can see the bright eyes and loving smiles of their little gift from God. Give them patience. Amen.
 
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BLESSING!!! I was a junior in high school when I found out I was having my oldest son. I was 16, and completely alone. I moved to a crisis pregnancy shelter. They helped me obtain health care, I got 3 full meals each day, maternity clothing and other needed items, and they even helped me when baby came to get needed baby items. They helped me navigate government services, apply for jobs, learn parenting skills and much more. Many girls opted for placing their baby for adoption, and they had Catholic Charities help with that process. I was 16 and alone and I made it through that and many more trying times. My husband adpoted my son when he was 3 or 4 years old, and has been the ideal father (thank you St. Joseph!). Our son is now 20 yrs old and doing great. He is discerning a possible call to religious life. your baby is a blessing. Be there for your girlfriend and love her and your child. In a few short years you will be amazed that you ever thought this was a scary situation because you won’t be able to imagine life without that little boy or girl.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
 
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

Son. Exactly the same thing happened to me, and I know exactly how you feel. I was scared to death. On top of everything, I thought her dad would kill me, and mine would help him! I was 16, and so was she.

I know how terrified you are, and I know you’re reading this thinking: ‘yeah, but it’s worse for me because…’. as that’s exactly what I would’ve been doing in your shoes right now. But, please trust me, and these other fine people who have responded to you, that all will be well. ALL WILL BE WELL.

You don’t know it yet, but this will be the making of your life. If you think you know what love is, just wait until you see your child - it will blow you away.

I am 45 now, and that scared girl who fell pregnant has been my wife for nearly 30 years. That child whose little life coming into being scared the life out of us was the first of six children. We now have a grandson, and another grandchild on the way (due January 2014).

That terrifying event has led to a life of love and wonder and so much happiness you simply wouldn’t believe it, and all by the age of 45! You see, son, you being so young, contrary to it making you not ready, gives you so much more time to have so much more love and life and wonder with a family of your own.

You three have my prayers, and love, and my congratulations too!

If you want to talk at all, just send me a private message.

God bless you, son.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

I do pray for you and hope things do work out for you. I don’t want come across like a parent or preacher but this is among the many reasons why fornication is forbidden. If she is you need to bear the consequences and begin a new chapter in your life. If she isn’t you may want to reconsider sex outside of marriage.It is not the right path. Yes I know there will be some who will say they had sex before getting married and never had any issues. But that doesn’t justify it. Contemplate two people who fall in love and build a relationship first without the sex .You will have a true bond that connects people with what should be the foundation of a marriage: Love and living by holy principles.

Either way I do pray for you and I hope things work out.God Bless-Amen
