Moms who are in college?

I got married at twenty got pregnant two months later then started college in my first trimester. It was challenging balancing being a newlywed, the doctors visits and homework. It was also very challenging sitting in cl with constant fatigue and back aches. I managed to continue with school until I was 37 weeks pregnant. Then I continued school again while my mom babysat. Just seven weeks after my daughter was born I got pregnant again. Boy was that a shocker! So not only did I have to juggle a new marriage and new baby, but also another pregnancy and school. It was hard, very hard! The entire time I was in school I was thinking about my daughter. I continued with school until my second daughter was born two months premature. With the stress of being in the hospital I quit school. Then with added stress of my husband losing his job I never went back. Hopefully I'll go back in spring term. I have just a few more cles to take to get my ociates. Having kids while in college definitely makes things harder and for me it has taken twice as long to get my degree as for someone without children. I'm glad I went to college though. It taught me a lot.
