Feeling stressed, don't know what to do

i recently started full time schooling for cosmetology about 2 months ago. I'm 28 weeks pregnant now and I'm not sure on whether I should drop out or not. I've missed so much school already because I was constantly nauseated and tired, I've failed so many tests, I don't know what I'm doing and it feels like it would be better to drop out. I don't want to drop out though because then I'd have to pay $10,000 and I don't want to seem Like a giver upper, but I also want to work after the baby's born because me and my fiancé want to get an apartment on our own and support our baby while being financially stable. I also wouldn't have time to work and go to school since its full time schooling. Any suggestions? :\

I work full time as a mddle school teacher and am taking master's school classes as well.  It's hard,  and i am missing this semester as i am due at mid term, but you have to push yourself and think of how this is going to impact your future and your baby's life.

With my first I started cosmetology when I was 6 months it was hard but I woke up everyday went and did it there were times when I felt sick or dizzy they even called the ambulance once but my teachers were understanding and allowed me to rest when I needed it I passed every test cause I pushed myself to study at home and do my assignment at home everyday plus the motivation of getting paid while in school eventually helped me cause I was doing it for my child and it was during winter cold as heck and I had to take the bus so I'm sure you can do it hun just keep your eyes on the prize doing hair makes good money been doing it for a while now I do it on the side though now and have another job but it's still a passion of mine since a kid

Just push through go when your sick I know its hard but think of it like a job you can't just not go to work when your feeling sick or tired. Think of the apartment and the life this will provide for you baby. The last thing you want to do is get into 10k of debt because that will take a long time to pay off. Post up little notes around your house in the bathroom to motivate you and remind you why you signed up in the first place. Print out pictures of the apartment you want and give yourself a time frame like by the end of next year you will be living there. I know its hard but this time next year you will be so proud of yourself.
