I'm in the same situation. I'm still in school and work full time. I say take two classes online to keep going forward and give the daddy baby time. That's what my husband and I plan to do.

I'm due October 16th, right in the middle of the semester! I'm already behind (due to family death) so i don't wanna get more behind. At first i thought about just online classes so absences don't affect me. Then i thought about going to classes, just taking a week or two off (i have 3 hour classes so that'll only be 2 absences). Anyways...now I'm thinking i wanna just take a semester off. School will always be there but my baby won't be a baby forever. I'm torn between waiting and online classes :(
Good luck finding a solution

I'm due November 25 which is my thanksgiving break but a week before my finals, my advisor said as long I talk with my professors they should be understanding, I'm just choosing to take easier classes this semester,  one is online. Then use my winter break to take time with my Lil one before I start up again.
Just talk to your advisors and maybe take less classes or just online classes

For me school starts September 7th, I'm due October 2nd. I'm planning to take a week off then go back.  I cannot take a semester off unfortunately. :/

Maybe take a break or see if your school offers online. I decided to do online for a while just until I'm in a good routine and ready to go back!

im in a similar situation. I am due December 29 and classes are over December 21. since that is so close...I decided to take two online classes so I can still get my credits, but still be at home in case I go into labor early. I say....stay in school. keep going. youll be fine. maybe try like me and do some online classes. I talked to an advisor and he put me in the right direction of making sure I didn't take anything hard also.
