DROPPING OUT help!

I cannot cope at all! i am 8 weeks into my 3rd year of a computing degree i have already done 3 assignments, i have 5 more assignments to go until xmas break and then 4 assignments due in after xmas some with presentations etc. I am a mother of an 8 and 6 year old and am 9 weeks pregnant too, these assignments are so hard and i have deadlines every week.
i have rushed the assignments i have already completed as there has been no time to concentrate fully on them, i am becoming depressed about the whole thing.
if i drop out i will feel so guilty and like i have wasted the 8 weeks i have already done, yet i will feel relieved. if i stay i will be so stressed and don't know whether i will manage to get to feburary (end of semester) i will be 20 weeks pg when this semester finishes. i lost my last baby at 23 weeks. should i be stressing about continuing my degree or shall i give myself a break and give up and go back next year - knowing that i will not have my degree until i am well past 30!
i will also be poor without a student loan. the house is trashed, the kids have no clean uniform for school. please help me make a decision.

Poor you! Have you got a personal tutor? Perhaps you could do this as a flexible module? Is this your final year? I started my degree when my dd was 1. Worked out well as studied at night when she was asleep. Or what about deferring for a year?
I'm still poor the children still have no clean uniforms and yes the house resembles a squat!
Would it be better to complete it now then spend all your time with new born baby?
