Hello,
First time poster here and general newbie to the forum, but I am in desperate need of some tips and advice!!! I'm 32 with no children but we are currently ttc and I have just received an offer on a part time Masters that will help me change career paths. The masters is two evenings a week and a further 4-6 hours of self study over two years. I was thinking (yes I will not be offended if you think this is totally mad) but if I get pregnant soon, I will give birth around June/July (exams are in May). After this I start back into my second year mid Sept. So hypothetically, I could have max of 10 weeks between birth and course start date. I can get up to a year mat leave with my job, so my question is how doable is it to study part time with a newborn whilst on mat leave? Has anyone done this? And even studying while pregnant?
It terms of support my partner will be great, I know he will but we have no other family to help and I am worried it will all be too much. Alternatively, I could defer my place but I would still be starting next year in a similar position!
Any input would be great and thank you for reading!!!!
