Hello! I just wanted to ask around and see if there are any tips/ tricks for getting through the third trimester of pregnancy during the first semester of a Nursing Program. I am worried because there is a two week (at the VERY least) recovery time after delivery (even if bleeding can continue for four more weeks- at least) and I know that we cannot miss that many days of classes or clinicals. All I know is that I am going to contact the teachers and ask them tips of what to read before class starts and read them, read pathophysiology and drug dosage books, and make connections with instructors. My goal is to try as much as I can to prepare ahead of time. I have my in laws to help me out with the newborn since both are retired. I also have a supportive husband who is going on a paternity leave, the day the baby is born until about a month after. I know that it sounds like I am just thinking of a smooth sailing pregnancy/ labor and delivery, but all I can do is roll with the punches, one day at a time and be as prepared as I can be. Any helpful advice is greatly appreciated!
