I was in the second year of my nursing degree when I got pregnant with my first. Took a years maternity and returned. On my last placement of second year I found out I was pregnant. I'm currently in the final year of my course expecting 1st March. I work part time too as well as attending lectures 5 times a week or doing 12 hour shifts.
Like pp I feel guilty about leaving my son, he now attends nursery, but it'll be worth it in the end.
I have an awesome support system and without them none of it would be achievable x
Im currently 23 weeks and in school for my Masters in Nursing and I work full time and have an 8 year old and husband.. you can do it being pregnant isn’t a disability.. oh and I’m high risk have to go to the doctor every week.. probably will deleites early given my history but guess what I want my masters so I don’t care what ppl say.. I know I can do it..
I’m honestly amazed at all of the strength from all of you, it’s truly amazing to hear from ladies who have done and still are achieving their goals whilst making a family.
Everyone except my husband has been negative about it and telling me I’m crazy and why would I burden myself whilst heavily pregnant, but I don’t think it should stop anyone who is willing and able to study.
??????????
I just started my masters in September. It’s a lot of hard work but I’ve done pretty good and I’m sure you will too. With having an 18 month old, full time mom and wife and working full time I thought it would be impossible but surprisingly I was able to stay focused and finish my first semester with two A’s. It’s so worth it!
Wow so many amazing supermums on here, so inspirational.
I know what you mean Katie I get baby brain often, I have to put post-its everywhere ? and have a million reminders on my phone lol. X
With my first I was going for my bachelors full-time. I found out I was pregnant, had her in December of 2013, and finished may 2015. Went straight from my bachelors to my masters and finally graduated in May of 2017 ?? and got pregnant wth this one almost instantly ?❤️ it wasn't easy but SO SO worth it!!!
Thank you for sharing your for sharing your journey, it’s amazing to hear how you persevered and became a RN. I know it won’t be a walk in the park but it will help me get to where I need to.
Has anyone ever started a course whilst heavily pregnant?
I’m considering doing my masters that starts in January I’ll be 30 weeks by then, it is mostly coursework/assignments and attending two days a week.
Has anyone experienced, or think it’s a bit much? The university is very helpful with time off and studying from home.
I'm doing online school for my BA and plan to continue during my entire pregnancy. The only issue I have had is getting due dates correct for assignments but I just triple check now. I haven't taken a masters level class yet so not sure how much more work is involved but I say go for it. It will probably make the last couple months fly by.
