How many of you have gone back to school as a Mom?

Question

I’m thinking of going back to school! How many of you have gone back to school after having a baby. How did you balance being a mom and going to school ? Any tips ?

Answer

Full time student, sahm of 3, and expecting our 4th this November. I also homeschool my oldest 2. I attend an online university. Tuition is a flat rate for as many courses as you can accomplish over the course of the term(6 months). I have managed to condense a 4 year degree into 2.5 years, and expect to graduate next July! Somehow you find the time, and newborns sleep a lot so that’s actually when I’ve gotten the majority of work done lol. The hardest part is when I have a proctored exam and need my husband to keep the kids somewhat quiet for an hour, but I’ve managed just fine. Good luck!

Full time student, a mom of a 2 year old and pregnant with number 2.
I went back to school when my son was 1 year. It was easier that way since he was more independent and I could do school at home while he played. 
However, I was suppose to be graduated in December before my daughters expected arrival, but I am going to do one more semeseter. I am a little worried on how I’m going to balance a newborn and school along with my toddler. 
I also find doing school online at home is easiest for me. It’s convenient, and I have a lot of self discipline so I have my stuff done by the due date. I also refuse to put my babies in daycare. So being at home with them is the best option for our family.
