    I'm studying with Open University, and my final semester finishes on 26th Feb - I'm due 1st Jan. But I don't have to go to campus to study, only online. I would see what your doc recommends. I am trying to keep working (I work 2 days a week) until Christmas, but it is up to my doc. Its going to be an interesting finals for me!

    Re: Stashi!!! Question

     With my oldest son I attended classes on campus. With my youngest and this baby I attend online. I will say this much. With my oldest I had to drop my classes and leave school early because I had carpal tunnel so bad that I could no longer write. Since I couldn't even read my own handwriting we all decided it was best for me to take leave. With my youngest, I attended online and thought that I could go ahead and work straight through. We thought that since I was due Christmas day that I would have the baby while on winter break and that I should I have no problem getting back to work when classes started back up. This was a HUGE mistake. My son was born on the Jan. 4 which was a Friday, and I had to be back "in" class on Monday. A newborn is very demanding and my grades tanked. I wasn't able to finish my final because my son needed me more and I got a C in my math class. I have learned from my mistakes. My classes this time will let out just before winter break and I will return when I feel that the baby is not is such high demand for attention and feedings and I can get something done without having to shove it all in a two hour interval (the time in between feedings). You may be pushing it since you are due so close. If you think you will go late, it would be great, but if you go early let your instructors know this is up against a deadline for you and they may be able to work with you. Also, make sure that you have a great support in case baby is born and you will be needing that extra help. I hope that you got something from this and good luck with your studies.
