back to school after baby

[halerz90]

Any of you mommies planning on going back to school after your little one is born? I was in nursing school before I got pregnant, but I absolutely hated it. I do want to go back and try something else, maybe physical therapy assistant,  but I'm also worried about how hard it will be with a baby and having to leave him/her with a babysitter. Plus I  wouldn't be able to work full time so money would be tight.  Anyone planning on doing the same or anyone already been there done that who would like to share their experience?

I thought about starting online college in the fall since I am due June 5th. Anyone ever did online schooling?

I've been in school for two years for teaching, I have three more years. My baby is due in two and a half weeks and I go back in September. It will be tough and distracting but I know I need to finish while I'm still young! There is a daycare at the school I will be going to and my fiancé will be able to help and his family are just down the road and my mom said she would watch baby too so I have a lot of support, if I didn't it would be even harder

I'm in school now and its pretty hard. But I do plan on going back.I think I'm going to do online classes until I'm fully comfortable with leaving baby home with a family member.

I always say I want to get it done when I'm still young. & I want to give my kids someone to look up to. Luckily my husband is very supportive. Luxejess I've taken classes online and really like them. I wish I could take all my classes online! Lol. They're really good if you're able to learn on your own and motivate yourself.

I am really wanting to get out of college. I had my first at 17, graduated high school, went to college part time and had to quit to work. My husband(were not married at the time) was able to get his degree which is good motivation for me. We eventually got back together and married as he is putting me thru school so that our kids can use us both as examples for finishing college

I plan on it. I have one more prerequisite for the nursing program here. Hopefully it works out. It will unless we get orders for a new duty station.

I am going back for medical assisting or whatever I can do online

I am going back to work around November 20th because I HAVE to make money since Im alone in this. I am actually furthering my education online (as a vet tech) and will be working as well. Fortunately my best friend is involved with in home child care (through title 20) and because I make under a certain amount a year and I am a single mommy, the government actually assists in paying for child care. It's great because I know my son is in his "aunts" care and will only be right upstairs (she lives above me). Only thing that ***** is that I work about an hour away from my house so Im a little upset about that, but I wouldn't make nearly as much money at other vet hospitals until I get my certificates.

I plan to go back to school also...ill be working part time with my stepdads company doing billing work so its a good situation for me I only have 3 classes to complete my general degree and ill think about my other ba degree later bc I was working in production and entertainment and figured out it wasn't for me ...

I'm going back too! I'm due June 3Rd and I'm still doing school, actually. I'm full time every semester (spring, summer, fall) and I plan on continuing that way. So I may take a day or 2 off to have baby and get comfy with my body again, and then back to class for me! I'm a mathematics major and if I'm able to keep the schedule I like I'll be done with my masters by fall 2015. I currently work full time as well, but when I told my husband I can't do both full time school and full time work, he told me to quit my job. So I'm just working until I go into labor and then we will depend on my husband for cash flow. But he's also a student while working full time, so we are lucky to have our parents helping out. His Mother can babysit while I'm in class and my family is moving out of their home and letting us stay there without paying rent (only utilities).

Im taking the spring semester off. My second is due Dec 19th. I would love to jump back into school but i don't trust daycare facilities and i don't want to leave the baby with my grandma till 5 or 6months. I will resume classes for the summer semester though. ***** because i was supposed to graduate next may but since Im taking next spring off i won't graduate till next Dec.
