Would you have been able to manage college with a newborn?

edited April 2011 in Pregnant
I want to go back and do my MBA but I want to have the baby first, but I don't know if it's possible. So my question goes to all new mommies: Could you have managed school while caring for your newborn?

  • Only if you have help. Also remember you will miss a lot of first being at school. I'm not saying don't but you may want to wait a year or two it will be easier. God Bless.
  • You will be fine I had a son at 16 and still went to high-school and worked 2 jobs you can do it! Look into babysitting now!and study time sitter and must be well scheduled.... time management is key! Good luck!

  • I'm currently going with a 15, 3, and 21 month old it is not easy but possible.
  • I have a 18 yr old, 9 yr old and a 7 yr old... plus I'm 26 weeks pregnant and I'm finishing up my bachelors right now only 2 more classes left and going right into my masters without a break...

    I attend South University online. You don't have to be online at a specific time you just have to put your certain amount of hours in plus more, do a question and answer discussion throughout the week, up load assignments and take test by due date. You need to be self discipline and dedicated.

    I login during the times my kids are at school, after their bedtime or when their away or preoccupied with tv or video games. I may even due my homework online while my kids are also at the desk and I'm helping them with theirs.

    During the time I deliver my councellor has held a easier class to assign me that isn't so demanding. So I'm going to stay enrolled and work around my delivery.

    Please please please enroll and go to school. Dont feel like its gonna be too hard. Minorities come to America and take advantage of our education system while us Americans try and take the easy way. It'll be challenging but you can do it.

    ... I'm 37 yrs old and doing it.

    Go girl!
