Hello! Two days before I moved to uni in London, I found out that I am pregnant. Nearly two weeks in and I am struggling hard with no support around me. I've spoken to lecturers who want to help me through my first year. But I am five hours away from home and it is giving me a lot of anxiety - I just want to be with my family and boyfriend during these few months! Along with this, I will have to travel back every few weeks for appointments (midwife, GP, and orthodontist) which is costing me a lot of money, and I will miss class.
At the beginning, I honestly thought I could do this, but it is getting harder to be alone in London. I've already began getting morning sickness and tiredness, so I'm trying my hardest to go to every class, but sometimes it simply isn't possible.
I want to defer my studies for 2 years and then enrol at a uni closer to home, thus I will commute and the baby will be slightly older. However, I am worried about my financial issues. If I leave now, I will still have to pay my accommodation. Will I still get my student loan, or do I have to pay that out of my own pocket? Will I have to pay any money back? Someone please help, I'm stressing out. Thank you in advance
