Need Advice!!!!!

I am currently about 20 weeks pregnant. My husband and I found out we were expecting the last month of my spring semester! It was a complete surprise. I am due to have a "C-Section" the last week of this coming fall semester. My finals would be the week before the last week of school, so technically I could make it through. That is if I don't go into labor early. I really don't want to take the semester off because I will definately have to take the spring off to stay home with the new baby. Has anyone gone through a semester during their last trimester? My school says I need a note from my OB saying I can attend clinical without restriction, including lifiting! I will not lose my spot if I take time off, but it will set me back and I hate to dely this any longer. Also, for the record I am in a very competitive program and the department is notorious for being extremely strict. In other words I will not get any slack from these women. Help! I need some good advice....

    It's a tough call. Only you can decide what you can handle. Nursing school is hard but it's going to be more so pregnant. I personally couldn't do it...wouldn't even try but I'm not the strongest girl either..lol.. I do personally know someone who went to school pregnant...had her c section on a friday morning and was in class on monday. But imho she's crazy. lol

    Just curious, why the prescheduled c section?

    I had a c-section with my first born. I was in 27 long hours of hard labor and my son didn't budge. He was only 7lbs but I am only 5', a very small chick. Long story short, my Dr. thinks it's best and I'm scared to try again anyway.
