I am currently undergoing a 3year programme which I started a couple of months back. The next course starts in a few months’ time and really I am interested in registering for it as I look forward to completing the programme as early as possible without much delay in between. But my fear is that I am currently pregnant and will by God’s grace give birth at about 2 months before the exam date, I am not sure how I will cope with reading, advanced pregnancy and afterwards nursing a baby.

I need responses/advice especially from those that have similar experience. How were you able to cope? Left to me I want to take the risk of registering because even if I skip this module, my baby will still be about 2months for yet another registration to begin. So it’s like the inevitable happening... Mind you, the course is quite engaging and I need to do about 16hours reading per week and I work 8am-6pm from Monday to Friday.

Responses plsss.....

My advice - Register but don't take the exams because you would not study properly for it. Have your baby, get your maternity leave and then study for your exam. Your mat. leave will also afford you the time to look after your baby.
