Student (mature)

[umbongo]

Anyone else studying? I'm part way through a natural sciences degree with the OU.
It's not the best time to be pregnant career wise but I'm 35 so decided I couldn't put it off any longer and fell a lot quicker than I expected!
I'm struggling to study as I'm nauseous and tired. I hope things pick up in the 2nd trimester. I have an exam in June and one of the courses doesn't end til after baby is due!
I shall then have 6 months off I think before I get back into it.
Plan is to work with children, currently a newly appointed part time TA with autistic children, I love it.
