Studying whilst heavily pregnant

I did a masters with a 2 year old and pregnant. It was hard but I did it! It all finished by the time I was about 32 weeks x

Oh wow that’s amazing, my children who will be 7 and 5 are full time in school so that gives me some time. I’ve just never heard of anyone starting studies that far into their pregnancy x

I started my last year of my degree pregnant, he was born in March and I still graduated on time in July....uni were very helpful and understanding about my attendance...im hoping to start my masters too

Good luck x

Thanks ladies you’ve helped me a lot in making my decision. X

I was studying hairdressing when I fell pregnant, at first I found the assignments and standing on my feet all day fine but near the end of the course when I was around 19 weeks I started struggling with nausea, anxiety and fatigue. This may have been due to the anxiety of doing hair and knowing I had to get it right but I still found it really difficult at the end. I know that course wasn’t anything on a masters I’m sure that would be a lot heavier, I think your a star for wanting to further your education but personally from my experience I’d say just wait until after the baby x

I think if you can make the time to study you’ll be fine.

Just go easy on yourself when your little one is born & accept that you might not be able to do anything for at least a month or two right at the start. Xx

Thank you x

When I was studying last year someone who was 30 weeks started, they had baby in December and didn’t return it. X

Yup I finished my nursing degree when I was 38 weeks pregnant

I'm currently doing a degree in criminology and psychology I only started in October I'm 17 weeks and my first year is due to end around the same time baby is due.

Go for it girl. I just finished my bachelors this year whilst pregnant (gave birth in april) and had a 1 and a half year old. I still had exams and coursework until June, i took 1 week off after the birth but attended 4 days a week and did coursework from my hospital bed. It is tough and revision is hard to fit in but i stuck to revising and doing work at nap and bed time and at 6am before the baby woke up and going over every lesson at home. I got a first class degree in finance by the end of it and believe me it feels goooood. I'm doing my masters next year after a break lol.

You can do anything you want to do if you put your mind to it. Good luck sweetie x

I was pregnant with my 3rd during my 2nd year and had 6wks off after birth, and they gave me a longer lunch so I could still nurse my son, they were so understanding xx

Thank you so much ladies, honestly it’s so amazing to hear your stories. Xx
