TTC and College?

Question

Well, big question, how do you juggle a baby with getting a college education? 
Last thing I want to do is daycare, so this is on my mind.
I want to become a medical assistant, but I also want to be a mother, and I'm trying to figure out how to juggle the 15 months of classes with the possible 9 months of pregnancy then infant?
Anyone got any tips?

Answer

I'm in your same boat. I'm a junior in college and I'll have the baby in February. I also have to work 30 hours a week to stay on my health insurance plan. It's going to be hard but anything in life that worth something is hard. Our parents and grandparents all did this so we can too! Try not to take too many break from school... I took two, then joined the military and now I'm going back to school.... it's really hard the more breaks you take. If I take one now I know I won't go back. Just always have your end goal in sight and don't stop until you get it. Also, ask your school about the post secondary grant. I qualified for it and it is free money from the government that will help you pay for daycare or you can use that money to pay a family member to take care of your baby, that way you won't be leaving him or her with a stranger.
Good luck to you!!

Grandma watched my baby girl while I went to school

Answer

Honestly, it's very difficult. I gave birth during finals week of my very first semester of college. It was a nightmare. And then there were times where my boyfriend (who was also in college) wasn't able to make it home in time to watch the baby so I'd have to miss class or take her with me even. I did two semesters and now I'm just taking a break. I recommend online classes.
