Back to school :(

Hello ladies :) I'm a Ftm and I'm really worried about going back to  college. I'll be starting my program in the upcoming fall and my baby girl will hopefully be 6 months by then :) I'm really worried about having to leave her with my mom from Monday to Friday from 8-4:( I know I have to go back to school but I don't want to leave my baby for that long. I'm soo worried I won't be there for her. Anyone else going through this or have or will?? I'm really upset about this and don't know wat to do! I don't want to go back but for a better future I have to

I wish online classes were available!! But my program requires me to start practicing in hospitals and clinics. And I do trust my mom completely. It's just that I feel it's going to be so hard on me to leave her for so long :( and I can't drop my program cuz if I did I would have to wait 3 years to get back in and it would be such a waste of time lol and hoping to having child #2 by then lol

I was dropped from the program because my son was a newborn and I couldn't leave him. Which is fine I can always go back when I'm ready. Good luck

If you trust your mom , then everything will be fine hun! She's with the best person that could ever possibly care for her! I know it does worry you having to leave her after you get attached to her . But, by 6 months you'll be well ready to let someone keep her . You've spent a lot of mommy time with her , although we know it's never enough of time spent(: just give it a go!

Sorry. Sent too early. So I wasn't as worried, but it was harder because he was older and running around already. Then my fall semester of last year started 2 weeks after giving birth to my daughter, and I was worried, but every thing is fine and I think everything will be ok for you too. It will be hard but it's much better in the end.

I still havent finished HS and will have to go back after baby is born. It worries me also, school provides day care so he wont be that far away from me but it still gets me all anxi.

My classes start next week i will be 31 weeks pregnant and i graduate in 2016 so i will be going straight back to achool with a new born. It will be hard but its worth is and honestly it sounds bad but it gives you a break from the baby so you can come back and love baby that much more

I know it's hard beleive me but its worth it. I started when my son was a little older and it was actually harder. When they are older they can verbalize how they feel. It's heartbreaking.  I am almost dont, due to graduate in Dec an ad my second little man is due Jan 9th. I will most likely starar looking for a job around 6-9. Don't want to but can't see making my family go without when I know it will help out so much.
