To study or not to study

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!

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.
