School and a newborn!?

So I am eligible to continue going to school starting in the beginning of January. Problem is, I'm due around January 29th-ish.

I was wondering if I should go to school online winter term or just wait it out until spring term?

Have any of you mommies been through this and succeeded?

When I was 7 months pregnant with my first child, I started online classes (fall semester). He was born at the end of the winter holiday. When he was 3 months old, I returned to online school. It was during the second half of the spring semester. By that time, we were both on a regular sleeping and Breastfeeding schedule. Four years later, I received my degree. Good luck to you!

I'm trying to decide the same thing. I'm due 7/29 which falls 2 weeks before my spring term finals. Nor sure if I should take the spring term off or just see what happens.

I went to college when my daughter was 18 months old..and i was shocked to realise two girls in the class had babies..one at 5 weeks and one was 9 weeks..theres no way i voukd have functioned and msnaged to study when my daughter was that young..she was a terrible sleeper!for me id go a little later so that you would have time to get to know the baby..but i found studying really helped me feel like a person again not just a mummy :) i dont know anyone whose had a baby mid-term though

I was going to return to school as well in January but my baby will be here late February early March and I don't want to risk it. So I decided to wait til Fall that way I will have a routine with my baby and my other two.

Oh exciting! :) At least you'll be done with school. I'm nervous about starting my classes and then giving birth 3 weeks later.
