is anyone else sitting finals close to due date?

[itshappenedagain]

i have to sit an exam at 39 weeks pregnant...im petrified ill go into labour the night before and wont make it, or that due to the lack of sleep and discomfort and inability to concerntrate on anything for more than 30 seconds that i wont pass and il have been stressing for no reason. has anyone experienced this...did your mind just take over and was everything ok? am i worrying for no reason? anyone have any tips?
anyway im off to bed to revise some more.

I haven't experienced this, but I am going to be studying from September, and just wanted to wish you well, good luck!

thanx...im hoping someone will come along and tell me how to make baby stay put or miraculous revision tips! on 48 more hours and it will all be over!

Whatever you do, make sure your department knows you will be sitting your exam at 39 weeks pregnant -- you may be able to sit it under special regulations (e.g. additional time for loo breaks, separate room). That way if anything does go wrong due to being pregnant, you will be awarded mitigation, and if you do fail you should be able to resit for full marks.

I sat an exam at 39 weeks pregnant! I was supposed to sit an exam on my due date as well, but was too lazy to go in & sat it the following year (big mistake. Much harder revising for an exam a year after studying for it, & with a 1 year old & no childcare). Anyway, I don't know what your academic background is, but I found the second I got into the exam room all my years of exam taking kicked in & it went like second nature. I didn't get a brilliant mark but I did okay, & that was all I wanted. I did take 3 exam breaks with no extra time allowed though!

I agree with beanlet that you need to have informed your department of the circumstances... although judging by timestamps you've already sat it by now...
