Need Please School Or No

h__lo ladies! i need some advice. i am currently 30wks pregnant and not working right now b/c of the pregnancy. i am also a part time college student and last semester i only took 2 classes b/c i was still working and i didn't want to stress myself out too much being pregnant and all. i ended up auditing one of the two classes b/c it required ALOT of studying and i was just too exhausted to study as much as i should. i am about half way through w/ my degree and this is the first time i've ever had to audit or withdraw for failing and i've decided not to repeat the class until the summer. i can't afford another audit or withdrawl. my question is this- do you think it's wise for me to take any class at all this semester? the pros i've come up with are these: i would only be taking one class, it would be a class that i consider easier, and i wouldn't have to worry about my job this semester. the cons are these: i'll definately be giving birth sometime this semester, if there are any problems i could end up spending alot of time in the hospital, and the second half of the semester i'll have a newborn. thank you for reading and please...any and all advice will be greatly appretiated. oh...also the reason i want to take one class this semester is b/c i have financial aid left over that will cover it and if i don't use it, i'll lose it. i also feel like i'm wasting time not working or going to school.

I am kind of having the same problem you are with school. I am only six weeks right now though, but getting close to completing my degree. I would have to take a full semester of cla__ses this upcoming semester (starting in like two weeks), and then i still might have another cla__s or two to finish up the following semester (at the beginning of which my baby will be born...i'm due early September). Problem is, i really feel like i should be working this semester instead of going to school, because of the baby, and there's no way i'm going to try to do both, considering what a full load i will be taking. Also, i know i won't finish up that last cla__s or two for another year at least, because of the baby. So..i dont' know what to do either. I think you should take the cla__s if you feel comfortable with missing some cla__s time and some study time once the baby is born. If it's a fairly easy cla__s and if your professor is fairly understanding, it should work out fine, i would think. Good luck deciding!!!
