schooling and newborn?

[aj9309]

I'll be 38 weeks tomorrow. My due date is the 28 and summer session starts Jun 8. I want to take two classes but I'm not sure how I'll do with a newborn. I'm so close to finishing my associates and I never took a semester off including summer. Any advice on whether to take a break or keep going? I really need help on this.

Yea take the summer off my friend tried to go right back to class like the minute she left the hospital which was like the next day after her labor and she couldn't do it i use to sleep at her house to help her out before i gave birth to my first child she would be so tired couldn't even get up for school her breast would be so full she couldn't do her work its best to take the 6 weeks off to understand your body and your baby

Definitely take the summer off. You'll be exhausted and adjusting I'm finally going back to school 3 months later and it's still super hard to leave my son! And it's a lot of work.

Take the summer off. Your baby will need you and you will need the time to physically and emotionally recover. August will come soon enough. I wanted to take classes this summer too but taking care of a newborn is way more important than finishing a semester earlier. You'll never get those first days back.
