School while 36-40 weeks pregnant?! Yes or no?

Question

I am having quite a dilemma. I am currently 22 years old, 30 weeks 4 days pregnant, a full time student, and I go to work full time. 
I am very determined to finish college and getting my degree for my son and I. 
My son is due on June 14, so I am considering taking a short 4 week online summer class. That dates are from 5/18-6/15.... yes -  so the class would end right around my due date.
This is my first pregnancy, so to any moms who have done this before... did you feel like the last 4 weeks of your pregnancy was incredible difficult? I’m trying to decide on whether I will have enough energy to come home and work on a class. 
Any advice helps. Thank you!!

Answer

I’ll be graduating with my bachelors degree April 28th and my baby is due April 16th! I also worked full time and my classes have been full time throughout my whole pregnancy. It has not been easy, but it’s definitely possible! I have managed to keep up with all of my assignments and now that I’m so close to my due date, i just emailed my professor and she was very understanding of my situation and is letting me work ahead just in case baby comes early or unexpectedly! I’d say go for it and try to get as much done as you possibly can before baby gets here! You can do it!

Answer

My mom likes to share the story of how she went in to labor with me 2 weeks early on the morning of her last final. It was for her Women's Studies class and she had an A in the class up till that point so she called (no email back then) the professor and the professor didn't make her sit the exam. She just got an A.

Answer

I say if you feel like it do it now! I worked up to the day I delivered with both of my pregnancies. I thought it was harder to get stuff done after I had my babies. Stay strong! Good for you!!

Answer

Since the class is online, I don't see any reason why not.  I'm 39w and have no trouble spending hours sitting in my bed reading, researching and sending emails.  I'd just make sure you let the teacher / professor know your situation so if you do go into labor early and miss a submission deadline or exam, they won't be surprised and can work with you to find a time to make it up.

Answer

I had my son at the end of my first semester senior year in college. It really does all depend on your energy levels as well as having open communication with professors and other staff to help guide you through. I successfully completed my senior year on time thanks to my professors. It is rough at times but possible and worth it for you and your child.

Answer

if it was 34 -38 weeks if say more go for it as  id say the end date is a little close to when you are due... you could possibly have to finish the last week or 2 with a newborn... and it all depends on how you baby acts but that you won't know til they are here...  my baby was pretty good and would lay down for a 2 hour nap or so between feedings or you could end up with a baby like my sister was to my mom who demanding attention 24-7 and was hard for my mom to get anything done (my sister was colic  as a baby and my mom first,) as pregnant id say go for it... but it's up to you how you think you'd feel doing classes if you potentially may have a new born to look after to as you do your online studies.

Answer

With my first I finished classes two days before she arrived. She came three weeks early. I had he energy and was glad to have taken the summer classes.
