Really important decision, ADVICE please ladies!
I need your opinions girls!
I have 50 credits towards a Elementary Education bachelor's degree with a 3.2 GPA. I will turn 21 in May. Im 17 weeks, baby due in July. This fall I registered for 2 classes (6 credits which is part-time) Art History and Infants and Toddlers. It is week 4 in the semester and so far I have completed all of the assignments and done well. WELL the problem is, it stresses me out quite a bit.
I am always thinking "ok what is due for school..?" It's like a cloud that follows me. I find that sometimes I don't exercise or do my Yoga because I spend so much time studying and reading the textbooks. I know I *CAN* do it, but I am starting to think I should drop the classes because I would enjoy my (first!) pregnancy more and would have more time to focus on Yoga, exercise, and preparation for natural child birth.
Plus my bf and I are moving to New Mexico soon, in a week! And we will be looking for a nice apartment or future home to buy. Between school and moving I think I would be too stressed out to enjoy everything... but I feel so guilty sometimes. I guess I am just a perfectionist and am really hard on myself to get everything done.
What do you think? Do you think I'd be better off in the long run quitting school for a while and returning next fall?

Depending on your school, if you aren't already, you can continue through the same school through distance learning if they don't have a campus where you move to. That way you won't have to worry about transferring credits.
Yea, that's a good point. it won't be hard to catch up. Thanks so much! I am almost positive now that I wil drop the classes. It will make life alot happier
Well if you stop the classes now, you can ALWAYS pick them up again after the baby is born and you are settled...with being pregnant AND moving it may be too much. It's only 2 classes so it won't be hard to catch back up. JMHO
