I just made a really big decision today.
I applied to college and was accepted as a
full time student. I start this january
and my term ends end of july/beginning of
august-ish. My due date is august 10th so
i'll be cutting it close. I also work
part time but very long hours as a server
and I think I want to continue doing that
while i'm in school too. Do you think
that's going to be too much? Have any of
you went through the same thing? Going to
school and being pregnant..I know some of
the symptoms are gonna get in the way
(nausea, headaches, food cravings blah
blah blah)

I think you can do it if you really want
to. I also think that you'll be
extremely tired and frustrated. But yes,
it is possible.

You can definately do it if thats what you
really want. I've been in college this
whole semester while pregnant and I really
haven't had any problems. I will also
still be doing full time next semester
when my little ones born (feb. 14th).
When you enroll for courses see if you can
work your schedule out to give you more
time. I'm found that I can take all my
courses on tuesday and thursdays next
semester so then I still have m,w,f for
the baby and work...

Yeah I tried doing that..But it couldnt
work so I have classes from tuesday to
friday. But i'm a really hard worker so I
think I can do this. It's exciting.
It'll be an interesting experience. I
want to be a highschool teacher so i'll be
in school for awhile but I want to take a
year off after the baby is born

since you wanna do that...Whats the point
starting college before you have the baby?
You may aswell just wait to do it all at
once after your 'year off'.

Because I want to get ahead. Even if it
is only one year. If I go to school now,
this january i'll finish in july/august(my
first year) and then i'll take a year off
to take care of the baby. Then i'll go
back to school september 2008 and finish
may 2011...Rather than if I start my first
year 2008 and finish in 2012. It doesnt
seem like a big deal I guess. But i've
been wanting to go back for a long time.
I really want to get my career atleast
started.

I think it's a great idea to start
college. If you have a year under your
belt you may be more likely to go back and
finish. If you wait a year you may say,
"well, i'll just take another year" and
another turns into another. Time flies
when you have kids.
