debating on whether I should take this next semester off or continue. school starts back again jan…

I vote take it off. The last thing I would want to be worrying about come my 9th month of pregnancy and the birth of a newborn would be school.

You can always go back later, but you only get to have this baby once. <3

@susanna713, I agree it is too much I just finished a semester and was stressed to the max but the money I get helps...

and thanks for the advice

ahh... yeah with money involved that gets much trickier! Do you have a way to support yourself without it? DSHS told me that they can give me some money to help with rent and stuff around the time the baby is born since I will have to take some time off work. I'm in WA, but I assume most states help with that stuff?

I have some benefits but it is not what I am use to I will be ok I am in Colorado I need to focus on the baby

I'm taking three online classes this coming quarter, starting January 4th and my baby girl is hopefully coming February 12th. I think it'll be hard, but definitely possible.

@autumn, is she your first? my baby is my first i've been in school since summer and it's overwhelming as it is I did online for fall still hard.

Yeah she's my first! I guess the only way I know I'll be able to do it is because my boyfriend is going to help out as much as possible. So I'll at least have weekends to just knock it all out if I have to wait. Having a good support system seems like it's the only way it's likely to balance both

@autumn, definitely I think I'm going to break and enjoy my baby. I don't want extra. my advisor even suggested it. goodluck with everything
