Fatima,
I had an unplanned pregnancy in my second year of training. At the time, I had to ask permission of the DON of the nursing school to marry my fiance earlier than planned. Lucky for me, she agreed and granted me one additional day off with the weekend to do so. (pretty gracious). My son was due the first part of June, but I delivered the third week in April. I returned to school after 6 weeks.
My regrets - not looking after myself better at the time. My son was healthy, but perhaps his prematurity was a result of my working to hard, pressures, etc. I should have taken more time off school after he was born.
My advice to you, is..... have a great pregnancy. Enjoy it - it is a fascinating time in your life. Make sure you take care of yourself and your baby.
Having a baby during your training is very hard work, but it can be done. Good luck! My son is now 24, and the apple of his mamma's eye. I love him to bits.
