pregnant while in school or during first year?

I am assuming this thread has been previously posted but I couldn't find it through the search but I want to take a poll....preferably from someone who has experience with either situation (or both :)

Would it be better to be pregnant during nursing school or during your first year on the job? (and neither is not an option)

Thank you all for the imput. I have 6 months left in school so even if we get pregnant right away, I would only be 6 mths at graduation.

It's just I'm 31 now and we want 2 and I know it's not bad to have kids after 35 I just don't want to add any more pressure than needed. And I've seen on this board how many people struggle with workload and other stuff their first year in nursing that it makes me nervous

That changes the original post. In this case, you can afford to get pregnant.

Best wishes to you :lol2:

I delivered my 3rd child on a Monday.....graduated nursing school that Friday. It can be done. Good luck!
