    In all honesty - I think you may be trying to do just a bit too much. It all sounds do-able now but in my opinion it may not be best for you or your baby.

    I found 6 weeks post-natal I was still healing from the birth, settling feeding issues and extremely tired - and I had a partner at home and am on 12 months leave. Even then I found it difficult to give enough to my baby. Attachment and bonding is so important in those very early months and you never get that time again. I think job opportunities will always be there - especially in the current economic climate.

    I agree with Sophia - especially as you are studying, many more awesome jobs will come up over time - but bubs will never be a baby again. To me thats more precious than any job, but thats just my opinion.

    Good luck with your studies and with yoru pregnancy - no matter what anyone says, do what is right for you and your baby, cos its not just about whats right for you alone any more.

    Gosh, that sounds nasty, but it really isnt meant to be !! Wishing you all the best!!

    I'm not going to say what you should do either way, but I will say, if you feel that you can do this, then don't give up the job offer just because you're pregnant. I was offered a full time job when I was 10 weeks pregnant (it was just a casual thing prior to that). I accepted, then thought, we'll I'll do the right thing and tell them. BIG MISTAKE! Not only was the job offer withdrawn, I was also fired.
