Im 38 weeks and still going to school plus watching a 9 year old all day. Pregnancy is not a good reason to take a brake from school

I agree with My2LoveBugs.... pregnancy is not a reason to say your incapable of going to school or work... if it were medically necessary that you stay in bed then I can understand it, but the way I see it is, you spread your legs and now you have to deal with the consequences of a pregnancy.... u are a mom now, u have to do what is best for your baby, and getting an education is very important!   I wish you good luck and hope you make the right decisions

I also worked as a veterinary assistant until I went into labor with my son. . It was hard to get around,  I was huge and so was he (a whopping 9 pounds), but I pushed past it because I couldn't afford to miss work.. and if you're a high school student or even college,  missing school has a huge effect on your grades and u will already miss some time after the baby is born

School as in high school or college? Neither would be a good idea to miss honestly... im in college and I'm due apr. 6, no matter how miserable I get,  I won't take time off unless required to do so by my doctor... you should just push through it and get your education :)
