Due mid quarter of my last year of college!

My biggest dilemma is I'm due mid way through my second to last quarter before I graduate. My counselor advised me to take that quarter off and start back up the following but i really don't want to take the time off as my boyfriend and I are eager to move back to where our families live. I'm thinking I might just take 2 classes instead of 4 and speak to my professors ahead of time. Have any moms been through this and decide to not take time off when the baby was born, and how hard was it? I'll have plenty of help at home for when I go to class but I'm nervous on how helpful the professors are in these situations. Any advice will help!
