I'm 35, currently 7 weeks pregnant. Just received an unconditional offer on the first year of a degree that I desperately want to do (I was not pregnant when i applied).
I am thrilled, however, I will be 12 weeks pregnant when I begin my course, and I am worried about how my tutor will react and if it will hinder my studies. Would I have to tell them straight away or could I wait until further on?
I will not have to work this year and next, so I will not be juggling a job and a degree at the same time which I feel is a positive in the given situation.
Am I being unrealistic in thinking I can do this whilst pregnant? I don't want to defer or give up my place. I've worked hard to get on this degree and feel it's doable. My other child is grown and at university so I have minimal responsibilities for now.
