Pregnancy and nursing degree

Hi

Found out I am expecting and it was not planned. Started my nursing degree in March, and guessing I would be delivering in March 2019 ish (beginning of year 2). I was wondering if anyone can tell me if it is possible to have a baby and continue with my degree or is it completely going to mess me up?? I have childcare available as I am studying in the same city as my retired parents, financially I work part time and get maintenance loans.

Could anyone tell me what my options are as I don't want to stop at all

You would probably be best taking a year out. A woman in my year got pregant did that. It's an additional year but much easier all around. Shouldn't mess you up too much.

Thanks I was also considering of delaying my entry 2 to September as there are two intakes in the year and that would give me more than enough time to recover.

Start now and talk to your nursing school. It sound's like you could either take 6 months or a year off depending on how you feel and then jump back where you left work.
You won't be the first one.
