TTC WHILST IN FINAL YEAR OF UNI

[puta91]

ello, me and my partner have been together for 2 years now. I have a child from a previous relationship and we have spoke about having another child, we are both students, i work part-time and he works full-time, so financially we are okay. My question is has anyone been pregnant during their final year? I was pregnant during the beginning of my degree and passed the year, but with this being my final year I'm just wondering if I'll get through it, even though i feel i will. The reasoning for wanting to try is i am nearly 30, i want my children before i hit 30 its just a persnal preference of mine.

Personally, I'd wait until you finish.

I work full time with a part time degree at the OU and completing my module this year was tough. I am also taking next year off as maternity leave. I am at stage 3 so it's the equivalent of your final year, and I felt keeping up with the materials, submitting assignments and the exam such a drain.

I'm 33 and not much older than you, but I would definitely wait a year. Final year is important, there's no point lowering your degree classification because of pregnancy symptoms stopping you from performing at your best

Here! Here! Currently 13 weeks pregnant and in the middle of finals (med school). I think there is never a perfect or bad timing for a baby and when you will conceive is not entirely predictable.
My partner and I have been together for 9 years and we are both in our mid thirties..so the clock was ticking.
It was hard to study while sick day a night but it is doable.
I know quite a few people who had their babies during uni and it was fine.

Also, my uni is super supportive which is a big plus! I am sure there's an academic mentor at your uni you could speak to. They usually have quite good advise.

I personally wouldn’t plan it that way. The way I have felt in this pregnancy after an easy first pregnancy, I couldn’t even get out of bed never mind study. So if I were you, I would just wait.
