School/Uni!!

[17pregnant]

Hi everyone!

I've been thinking and thinking about what to do with study. I am currently taking a course until July for health which is my dream, and then planned to go onto years of study (next feb), how can I work being pregnant and having baby around my study? I want to be someone that can support my LO and that my LO can look up to. Any stories, experiences, or plans would help me so so much!

I dont know about where you live, but I know here you can do some degrees online. Im planning on starting my business management degree while im on maternity leave from my job. You should look into programs where you can earn a degree without having to take the time away from your LO

 

[teenmommy15]

well if your not due till after you finish you study in July you should be good with that and when you start in feb find someone who can look after your baby while your at study

 

[17pregnant]

I don't think its possible for me to do degree's online I will look into it though thank you! I plan on finishing this course i'm taking so i'll be about 7 months pregnant when I finish :O

 

[17pregnant]

Yep I do plan on finishing my course but my LO will only be about 3-4 months when I'm supposed to start university. How would I go about that??

Currently I'm in high school, planning on finishing my 11th grade year and then doing my GED over the summer so I can easily move with OH onto his military base... But once that happens I'm gonna find a community college in the area and try to take some classes to become a teacher.

Im finishing up my sophomore(10th) year pregnant and while im going to school during the day in my junior year my mom will have the baby and i graduate a half year early so i'll only be in school september-january of my senior year. so i'll only be in school for another year and half after my daughters born then im taking online college courses for business

 

[17pregnant]

You guys are so lucky because i'm not able to take online classes nor can I take part time classes! They do however have day care on university campus but I don't find it right to put LO in day care so young??

 

[teenmommy15]

your LO will be fine in a daycare for a couple hours , its great they have one on campus and on lunch breaks you can go visit

 

[17pregnant]

Classes are all day and LO will only be about 4 months But yes the upside is I will be able to go and visit on every break and to know LO is close by will ease the stress.

 

[teenmommy15]

well you could always have LO stay at the daycare for a little and see if someone could babysit the rest of the day

 

[17pregnant]

That is a great idea aaaah so much to plan already huh!

 

[teenmommy15]

haha dont worry your gonna be a mad planner until your babys born i feel like all im ever doing is planning something for my LO

 

[17pregnant]

I haven't even really started yet! Me and OH aren't exactly seeing eye to eye so its very hard to move forward!

 

[teenmommy15]

yeah i can understand my pregnancy hasnt really been the best with my boyfriend i mean hes excited of course but i havent seen him since november because of his ride and we were getting into constant fights but everything is finally starting to look up.. i think.. im hoping. if you have any questions or talk just pm me.

 

[17pregnant]

Pm'd you

 

[lizmageeful]

I just wish I knew where I was gonna be in a few months! it all depends where OH is stationed! I can plan for the first few months, but after that I have NO IDEA what I can do/will have the ability to do!

 

[MummyMana]

I'd suggest taking a gap year so you can concentrate on motherhood and not miss out on any of your baby's first milestones then when you do go to uni LO will be at the age where socialising with the other children at daycare could be a good thing

 

[magic93]

Yeah I agree, I wouldnt want to put my LO in daycare so young! Besides when their little like that youll never get that back, enjoy your time with LO cuz itll go fast! Unless you have somebody who will help out taking care of your baby for free.

I'm in my 2nd year of uni and 3 months pregnant. You could either transfer to a uni closer to home or online course which ill finish my degree online. Try the open university.
