In college, my boyfriend and I were acutely aware of how much my getting pregnant would screw things up for both of us, so I wonder why they took that risk knowing that her career is temporarily derailed (she's in the same field as I, where you have to garner a certain number of work HOURS in order to be licensed), and his last months of college/first months of a career are not going to be as smooth as they would have been if they had just used a damn condom!

I feel stalker-y because I quote you alot (LOL), but we are *here* on this.

I have met people who are IN COLLEGE and pregnant, and people say "well you're an adult, it's not like you're 15" but it really IS still a big deal because you're not in your career yet and things are still going to be difficult.

BTW: Are you in the architecture field?
