going to school with newborn

I have already signed up for fall semester. I'm taking 3 classes, but I am due in Oct the middle of the semester. Has anyone went right back to school after having a baby? I don't want to be overwhelmed so I need to know if it possible. I am married so I have help from my spouse but he is also going to school!

I just finished my third full-time year of school this past May. I had my daughter 6 days before the fall semester started last year and I have a 4 year old son as well. It is definitely easier to do school work with a newborn than it is with a toddler, so that part is ok, but sometimes it does get really stressful, especially being pp and dealing with the stresses of school. As long as you keep studying in all your free time and stay motivated, it's possible to do well. It is a lot of hard work though.

I am currently enrolled this summer, fall, and I am hoping spring I can still go. Just depends for me, since idk if I'll afford daycare on both my babies, :(  And due Christmas which I think is perfect since scholarships ends Dec 17 or earlier depending each class:) but mine are in person so I'm freaking out me being that huge and having to take my daughter to daycare:s

My semester ends the middle of December and baby is due at the end of September. I am squeezing an online class in tbis semester and will be on maternity leave for work when the spring 2015 semester will start so I will probably just continue to do online classes with a newborn.

You may want to speak with your doctor about that cause I always heard that if you are breastfeeding to stick with that until you no longer produce cause mixing breast milk an formula is not good but im not 100% sure I would ask your doctor first before you do that.

I went when my son was about 9 months but I did pretty much all online classes. It's actually easier when they are younger. They don't start to interrupt until abiut 18 months.

I tried it with my son I went back two weeks after he was born. Its not that it was overwhelming my problem is I was trying to breast feed an it didnt work out because I wasnt around him constantly
