I am pregnant with my first, due March 2013 and I feel like this pregnancy has given me so much clarity about what I want to be when I grow up!! I am thinking of going back to do my grad dip ed in secondary. I worked full time and studied part time for a Masters which took two years so I know I can buckle down and do these things- but now I have a 13 yo step son living with us full time, I have a new born due in March, I am still working full time and my husband works away a lot. So... how manageable is it to study with a newborn and a teenager?
Babies do a lot more than sleep - and learning how to BF can take a while. Also, why assume that you are allowed to take a baby into a lecture or seminars? My lecturers would have not been happy, nor many of my classmates - it's worth checking, but you may not be allowed to bring baby with you. What happens when the baby does a huge poo that covers baby, carrier and a 5m blast radius?

By all means buy related books and do some reading, find out what essays you will need to do and get cracking with those - but don't take a baby to a lecture. Please. FWIW, Liebling has attended University with me: on a field trip where children were allowed (nightmare for me, learnt very little other than Liebling knew how to get out of his reins, doesn't sleep on transport like other children and that he really likes dinosaurs - but to be fair, all the parents who had brought children hung around together so we could help each other out) and, by prior arrangement, on the last day of the year (he was a bit of a distraction and many people chose to just stay away from us, so not overly social, and I wasn't able to pay full attention to the lecture, despite Liebling behaving excellently and playing quietly through the lecture - many of the physics people were really into his toys, so Liebling distracted them too). I didn't take him again.
