I found out I was pregnant on Labor Day and I just finished my final year for my Bachelor's. It can be done! My mom had 4 kids when she did college and worked two jobs. She's my hero

It's easier to go to college while your pregnant then when you have the baby, but just remember a lot of college professors are tough so if you're due during a semester, I'd check with your school before hand because a lot of professors will have no tolerance policies depending on the person and school and usually you can't take time off of school besides maybe a class or two. I would definitely go while you're pregnant or the semester after your baby is due. That's what I did! I was in school almost the whole time I was pregnant, I had my son I. February and now I'm back at it for summer!

I work 45+hours a week as a middle school teacher at a private school and am just finishing up my 2nd semester of Grad school.  I have 2 major tests to take this summer before I can wheel in Fall classes but am going to continue going.  I'm 18 weeks and due right at mid term so I am going to take 8 week classes instead of 16 week ones.

Getting pregnant actually made me want to start college. I'm 20 weeks right now and I start school in August. I signed up for mostly online courses so that way I could be home with the baby.

I found out I was pregnant in December (was pregnant in November during school didn't know) break was until the end of January but I was still working then came back to school .. Being pregnant while in college was little challenging because of the appointments or any emergency you might have even pain or nausea/vomiting and getting sick because you can't take medication then your body gets tired and you have to write papers and can't stay up
