going to school with newborn

[shanny09]

I have already signed up for fall semester. I'm taking 3 classes, but I am due in Oct the middle of the semester. Has anyone went right back to school after having a baby? I don't want to be overwhelmed so I need to know if it possible. I am married so I have help from my spouse but he is also going to school!

I took 18 credits after my least munchkin which included a half day student teaching. I started two weeks after a c-section, I received awesome grades too! If I can do that anyone can! Good luck!!!

I went back one month after I had my son but I was mainly in online classes for my first semester back..

I did it too its not that bad. I would deff try and do online classes tho. They are the best with a newborn. I seriously felt like super woman some times because id study breast feed and take care of a child all at once I hot thru it. Many people do. I thought id fall as another statistic but I was determined not to be. You go girl!

I did!! Now I have my associates degree. I'm on my second child and working on my bachelor's along with 2 other certificates. You can do it!

My semester starts August 25 and my baby is due august 30. My doctor says my cervix is really soft and he says he's giving me 3 weeks tops until the baby comes. I'm still taking a class this semester as I am scheduled to graduate in the spring. Baby will be in daycare at 6 weeks and I'm going back to work as well. Will you girls have help from the baby's father or family? We're coordinating our schedules so we can both stay on track for graduation.

Maybe you guys should consider going to school part time or maybe taking online classes. Maybe you can talk to your professors and explain to them what's going on. Check the policies to see how many days of class you can miss.

I'm not in this situation but both my sisters were. They had their sons and then went right back to classes about 4 days after being released from the hospital. One did online classes but my little sister went on campus. I think they succeeded because they were determined and had alot of help. Countless family sitters and whatnot. Good luck in your decisions.
