I didn't take off this semester I am currently 38 weeks and in my first week in school. I have 2 online classes and 2 classes at school. I am hoping to go in during our Mardi Gras break but if not I will take a week off and go back. Its ur choice if u have the help u should be OK if not than take it off.
I took time off with my first. Babies are only tiny once, school will be there when they get a little older and less dependent. It's a personal choice, and you'll figure our what's best for you and your baby. I can say that even though I was bummed about being in school even longer, I will always treasure the special time I got with my baby. Best of luck!
