[patra2013]

Ill be 5 months when i start college this will be my first year . Has anyone jumped right into college after highschool like me after finding out they were expecting or waited until giving birth ? I just wanna get it over with so i dont have to struggle that much

I just graduated as well and will be almost 6 months when college starts this fall. I'll be a full time student and I'm worried as well but yeah, you are not alone! I really wanna just be with my baby all the time for the following semester but we'll see. I'm scared but when I think about my baby, everything else seems to fade to the background :)

I was in college when I found out I was pregnant. I was goin for Radiology Tech & was just abt to start clinicals. They didn't offer maternity leave soo when I had my baby I'd have 2wks off. I felt like that was too short & I was going to have to travel to diff cities for clinicals that weren't near where I lived soo I decided to leave before baby and go back after she's here. Besides, I didn't want to expose her to radiation even tho they have safety rules I just didn't want to take tha chance.

I will be 6 months when the fall semester starts. I would not worry about it. If you feel that you can handle it while you are pregnant and remain focused on school everything will be fine.

If everything goes as expected, I will be graduated and with my degree in Human Development and Family Studies by the time my baby boy is five months! :)

My baby is due at the end of November, which is about two to three weeks before finals! So my adviser told me to talk to my professors from day one so they are aware from the get go. They can arrange for me to take an early final, or I can take an incomplete at the end of the semester and finish off my finals during winter break. After that semester, I'll have one more semester to go and then graduation! Everyone tells me it is going to be difficult, but it is possible! This is where your time management skills come into play!

I have been in college with both of my pregnancies. I would just tell them up front that your expecting and your due date so they can help you prepare by figuring out leave options and if you can do classes at home for a month or 2, etc. Most places are very understanding and willing to work with you as long as you give them enough notice :)

But you could try online classes!

I'm a college student and decided to take the next semester off because my baby will be due in the middle of the semester. My friend advised me to do it because when she had her son, the college expected her to be back right away. The professors won't give you special assignments or more time to finish your work, they'll expect you to be in class like everyone else. That's why I'm gonna have to wait to go back

Im a ftm and want to go back to school  im due in dec but I thought it would be best to get use to baby working and trying to add school in the mix

I went to college throughout both of my previous pregnancies. I received my AA before i found out i was pregnant with #3 but I'll be going back for my BA come January.

I was going to until I found out that I am pregnant. I have to wait until next fall due to the mixture of so many chemicals I'd be around. I wanted to go for cosmetology.
