Pregnant in nursing school

[Hmfog]

Spam me with success stories of being pregnant your fist year of nursing school and having a baby the second year...also with three other children. Oy.

Please, no nay-sayers!

Got married, found out I was pregnant 4 weeks after the wedding (4wks pregnant). I was in my first year of nursing school, a newlywed, pregnant, throwing up every day and working full time and I made it. Was I tired? Yup. Did I ever sleep? Pretty much, nope. But I made it! Where there is a will, there is a way!

Went to nursing school with a woman who was pregnant (and had a toddler at home). She delivered on a Friday and was back in school on Monday without missing a beat.

It can be done.

I had my three girls in diapers when I entered school, then got pregnant the second year of nursing school, graduated as class president, 9 months pregnant, standing in front of an auditorium full of people who gasped as if my water was about to break all over them lol. This was pinning day complete with the white tent that was my dress.

My mom had me, 5 years old, my brother, 9 years old while pregnant in nursing school and working. :-)

There were many pregnant students in my program that persevered. I remember one girl, in her late 20's early 30's who already had FOUR children, worked FULL time, was pregnant again, and graduated. I could go on and on. You got this momma!

I have eight kids, went through school Preggo and breastfeeding. Graduated and am now working full time as an RN in the ICU. If you want it, go get it! Hopefully you have supportive family and friends to help you through.

Been there! 19 years old and found out I was pregnant in my first year of nursing school! Gave birth right before I stared my second year. Graduated on time in my last year with a 2 year old. I didn't have any other kids however I was a single mom. Pulled through and it was worth it! You got this!! ☺️

One of my classmates was due the final day of our preceptorship... we were all biting our nails for her, because due to limited preceptor availability, if you missed even one shift you had to repeat the semester. But she made it just a couple of hours past the end of her last shift before going in to labor and brought the baby to pinning a few weeks later, where there was much oohing and cooing.
