Congratulations to your friends/classmates on the birth of their babies. It is such a blessing and a wonderful time of the year to give birth. Our grand daughter just turned 4 on the 6th of December. She is growing up so fast. Time sure flies. Enjoy your classes.

Hi.. According to me, students can postpone these activities atleast till they complete their graduation. Hanging out with guys and becoming pregnant while graduating may set a bad example to other students of the class. I wonder, how their parents really accepted! At least, certain precautionary methods should have been followed!! However, as you said they have got an early vacation. But they should not have a delay in getting graduated!!

We are not graduating students. We already graduated 2 years ago, we are already 2nd year college student and professors and instructor will not stress out early pregnancy like in high school, we are in our own they just give advice and warn those who havent experience early pregnancy.

There parents will accept sooner or later how rude of them not to accept right? its their own daughter and she isn't perfect right? no one is... I know that they should have been careful and took some "Precautionary Methods" but that is not how real life work, People will soon face struggle in life if they will not think about their future, but it isn't the end of their life. I know a lot of single mom who are my friends and classmate they are still studying and working part time it made them stronger actually.

I wouldn't call them lucky, having a baby isn't vacation ;) It's very hard work, especially the first couple of weeks and if they're only allowed a month off it's not much compared to the maternity leave most countries can offer (at least two months).

My sister is pregnant too and the doctor said she will give birth in Christmas!!! she is in pregnancy leave from her job. she is happy that she will give birth at Christmas,imagine all that savings she will have because she will celebrate 2 , her babies Birthday and Christmas in 1 day. If you dont mind me asking, you said classmates.... are in college? after they recovered from giving birth your classmates have some catching up to do.

Hello pepai123456, Its good to see that 2 of your friends are enjoying with their babies. But i think differently one should not become a mother till she completes her studies otherwise it becomes difficult for a mother to complete her studies afterwards. It happens in many cases when parents don't accept their daughters in such situation in that case the mother has to search for a job to survive and feed her baby and in that situation her qualification and knowledge is what that matters and helps to get a job. Therefore student should avoid babies till completion of their studies.

I know education should be number one priority...but it happened already, sigh and the fathers are still in college... I cant understand why they didn't use the C word for unwanted...pregnancy well im just relieved that Filipino family has a strong tie with each other.
