Pregnancy and College - Quit/continue?

So, I'm now 19 and pregnant - by the time my baby would be born I would be 20.

I have lived away from home for 3 years and I am in a strong relationship - we live together. The father is 23.

The thing is, in September I am meant to be completing my final year at college for my A-Levels. I'd be birthing Jan/Feb and my exams would be May/June.

Is this doable?! Should I quit? I really don't want to. I'd love to be able to try to do my college work while pregnant... Even if it means I get worse grades than usual. My college is only a 5min walk away so I wouldn't be going through any hassle attending...

Thoughts?

    Is your future more important than the baby's life? Could you be able to buy everything the baby needs? Can you take care of the baby while maintaining good grades in school? Having a baby comes a lot of responsibility and it does take away a lot of time from school to even balancing an actual social life. It can be possible, but do what you feel is right you.

    Keep going as long as you can. Then you will only have one semester before you graduate. Your professors may be able to help. College graduates make more money, do getting your degree will help.

    Please consider getting married. Studies show that children do better when parents are married.
