I will be graduating nursing school in December 2019. I've been having baby fever badly for the past year and I've been trying to hold off on getting pregnant until after graduation. My boyfriend and I have recently been talking about when to start planning on getting pregnant since graduation is just over a year away. I don't know which would be the smartest option.

Should I try to get pregnant around April or May so I'll be due to give birth a few weeks after graduation? I would be eligible for maternity leave through my current CNA job. I could take the NCLEX during my leave and have an RN job lined up for shortly after my leave is over.

OR

Should I wait until after I graduate and have been working as an RN for at least 6 months before trying to get pregnant? I would have at least a year of RN experience under my belt and I'd qualify for paid leave.

Keep your legs closed for a year or two? That is one of the rudest things you can say to a woman. Your comment is beyond inappropriate, not to mention degrading.

I happen to know which post you are referring to, but it's far better to use the quote function so that everyone reading this (and the person to whom you are talking) will see the inappropriate comment in question.

And I agree that his comment was absurd.

Agree completely! I hit reply, but then after being prompted to login my comment was disconnected from it. Once it was posted I couldn't change it.

Please do your child a favor and give him a real dad. Husbands are a lot more likely to stick around than a boyfriend.

Really? There are plenty of married dad's trying to "slide into my DMs" as the kids say. Husband does not equate to great father. Or life partner for that matter.

get married first or is the boyfriend afraid of committment, then finish your schooling and work for awhile. Give your kid a regular family. Keep your legs closed for a year or two, not open for business. THEN once you have a regular job, then open for business! Stay off drugs & booze/smoke for a year to give the kid a chance at a normal life. Nothing worse then seeing a baby born from a addict, the baby does go through withdrawl, and it AINT pretty.

This is the most disgusting, derogatory comment I have ever seen on this site.
