I did a course thing from about 20 weeks til 34. It was really easy and i only did it to fill in time. But it was fine it was actually quite fun.]]> Fri, 01 Sep 2006 22:35:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3634&PID=69762&title=to-study-or-not-to-study#69762 <![CDATA[To study or not to study : I&#039;d say go for it!

I'd say go for it! I studied full time on campus until I was 25 weeks or so (end of the semester) then picked up 3 extramural papers in the following semester when I was ready to pop. I was even doing a psychology assignment while I was in labour with Maya. I finished the semester with her as a new baby.

For me personally, if I had stopped, I would never have gone back, and graduation made all the hard work worth it.]]> Fri, 01 Sep 2006 11:11:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3634&PID=69664&title=to-study-or-not-to-study#69664 <![CDATA[To study or not to study : I completed my post-grad while...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3634&PID=69603&title=to-study-or-not-to-study#69603 Author: lizzle

I completed my post-grad while pregnant and am doing a teaching dilpoma while having two under two. So whilemit isn't exactly esasy, it's not unachievable either. I would do it! But make sure that your partner knows that it may mean he needs to do more around the house and take your little boy off your hands when assignments are due and stuff. you need that support network for it to be okay]]> Fri, 01 Sep 2006 07:10:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3634&PID=69603&title=to-study-or-not-to-study#69603 <![CDATA[To study or not to study : Well, I studied in the last few...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3634&PID=69538&title=to-study-or-not-to-study#69538 Author: nikkitheknitter

Well, I studied in the last few months of my pregnancy. Actually I left it all to the end, so really the last few weeks of my pregnancy in which I was overdue. God it was painful sitting at the computer for almost a week straight! hahaha

Anyway, I'd say go for it, providing your pregnancy is going to be relatively straightforward. I remember you saying things about high blood pressure and stuff, so maybe adding extra stress in the form of study isn't going to be good for your BP? But then at the same time, staying at home with a toddler is stress enough! hehe

So I guess what I am saying is, weigh up whether it is better to do it now (or with another kid in tow) and whether you think your big preggo body can handle the extra stress/sitting at a computer.

Good luck Becks!]]> Thu, 31 Aug 2006 16:00:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3634&PID=69538&title=to-study-or-not-to-study#69538 <![CDATA[To study or not to study : I&#039;m not sure if I want to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3634&PID=69524&title=to-study-or-not-to-study#69524 Author: mummy_becks

I'm not sure if I want to put myself under the stress of doing a paper over the summer school as my baby is due in Feb. But on the otherhand if I do this paper (and it's only ever avaliable during summer school) it will help me a lot with my degree and my study in the long term (i'm doing a BA then going on to do a GradDipTchg(Prim) afterwards). And it maybe something to take my mind off the whole pregnancy and the due date is getting close thing.

Do you thing I should give it a go and see what happens, as if I give birth I can get an AEG pass or something else. Or wait till next year and that summer school and hope that it will be offered next year.
