\how old were your children when you started studying?
They were 6, 5 and 3 year old twins.
Do you study full or part time?
Full time, as there is no option to study part time at my uni
To those of you with no/little support, how do you do it!?
My husband has to help. He is self employed too so has to sometimes finish early to help me out, and as we are both busy all the time we share the household stuff (although I do the lion's share of the laundry still).
Did you find it hard getting into it after a long break from high school?
Yes and no. I have wanted to be a midwife for 5 years so it was wonderful finally getting started. However writing essays after 12 years did take some getting used to but I am into the swing of it now.

HTH. I am doing a double nursing/midwifery degree and am in my first year
