An unexpected pregnancy can make you wonder if the plans you've worked toward are now out of reach. But a pregnancy doesn't mean the end of your goals, your dreams, or your future.

Many women successfully:
- Continue their education
- Build a career
- Grow a family
- Pursue the things that matter to them

Being pregnant may mean taking a detour, but it does not mean your journey is over.

Whatever you're facing, you deserve honest information, compassionate support, and the chance to make an informed decision about your next step.

Take a deep breath. When you're ready, we're here to listen and help. 💛

“Whether it lasted one day, one month, one year, or beyond… every feeding was a moment of love, sacrifice, and connection.” - Unknown

The sleepless nights, endless feeds, and “is this really happening again?” moments are temporary.

Your body may need extra energy and nutrients while producing breast milk. Mayo Clinic recommends focusing on a variety of nutrient-rich foods, including:

🥚 Protein: eggs, lean meats, dairy, beans, lentils & low-mercury seafood
🥦 Fruits & vegetables: enjoy plenty of variety
🌾 Whole grains: choose a range of whole-grain foods
💧 Fluids: drink mostly water and limit alcohol, caffeine, and sugary drinks

You may need about 340–400 additional calories a day while breastfeeding, so give yourself permission to eat a little more and care for your body with kindness.

You don't need a perfect diet or a special diet. Focus on nourishing yourself, giving your body the fuel it needs, and enjoying a variety of foods as you care for yourself and your baby. Every meal is an opportunity to nourish both you and your little one. 💛

Can I stay in school while having a baby? 📚

One of the biggest fears many women face when unexpectedly pregnant is wondering whether they will have to put their education on hold - or give it up altogether.

Continuing your education while parenting may not be easy, and your path may look different than you originally imagined. But it is possible. Many women successfully pursue their education, earn degrees, and achieve their goals while raising children.

And you don't have to figure out how to make it work on your own.

In California, Title IX protects pregnant and parenting students from discrimination and provides protections such as excused pregnancy-related absences, opportunities to make up missed work, and reasonable adjustments to help students continue their education. California also provides additional protections and accommodations for pregnant and parenting students.

If you're worried about how pregnancy or parenting could affect your education, we're here to listen, provide information, and connect you with resources.

Let's start by talking. We'll walk alongside you as you take your next step. 💛
