If you're really not sure how quickly/slowly you will fall, maybe do whatever workload you were planning on doing and then re-asses it when you DO fall PG.
The only prob with this MG is that you cant withdraw from a subject after the 6th week of uni without academic penalty (ie, I think they fail you??) Though being pg, I'm sure I could talk my way out of that penalty somehow...

Thanks for the offer of help This semester I am doing Bioscience 3; Clinical Practice 1; Health, Human Development and Ageing; and Communication for Nursing Practice (a psychology subject). I think they are all pretty straight forward... though I think the psychology one might be the most challenging with assessments (having to tape record interviews etc)

Anyway girls, thanks again... you have certainly given me something to think about! I cant quite believe that I have the green light from DP to start TTC so soon... I have been slowly warming him to the idea for nearly 2 years, and now its a reality!! Eeeks!!

ETA - typing at the same time - thanks Yael! Goodluck with your course too, I hope your m/s isnt as bad for you this time round either!
