It's wonderful that you've turned your life around. You'll figure out what is best for you and Baily and the possible baby. I'm a bit older (21) but I know what it's like to have a 3-year-old and try to attend college classes. I just wanted to point out that it is possible to be pregnant and still attend classes. Last Semester, I delivered on a friday, 4 weeks before the end of the semester, was out of the hospital 20 hours later, and back in classes on Monday. That might be hard if you choose to keep the infant but if you have someone you trust to watch the baby while you're in classes, it's still possible.

For me, adoption was the best choice when after the first, other birthcontrol methods proved to be unreliable. But it is a decision for you and the baby's father to discuss, possibly with a counselor. Whatever your decision, good luck, and remember not to let anyone pressure you one way or the other. It's your body that might have to go through pregnancy and will be hormonally confused if there's no baby.

For future reference, you should see the huge list of things that can negate birthcontrol. And none of my doctors ever bothered to warn me about possible birth control failure. My pharmacist finally printed me out a list that's almost two full pages long and most of the things on it, I never would have guessed were a problem. Some are even over-the-counter medications.
