I have a 2 1/2 year old and entering a nursing program? please help!!!?

Question

Well I need some prerequisits first (5 classes). Then start the two year program. we would like to one more child, but not right now. My husband is in school and wont be finished for another 5-6 years. I wont be done for five years (its all planned out). Anyway, should I wait to become pregnant the last year of my schooling or get pregnant during? I dont have a lot of $$$ for two kids in childcare/school. So what should we do? have another child? have one when? please help?

oh, we are 31 and married 13 years.

Answer 1

just go get rammed.

Answer 2

My mom had her children very close and wanted to pursue a career. she even had it planned out like you. Unfortunately it didnt work out that way because she needed a job to help pay for the two children she already had - even though my father already had a stable job. This happened 24 years ago. So in your situation I'd advise that you wait until your finished school. Maybe even wait a year afterwards so you have a job during pregnancy and a job waiting when you get back. There will be a larger age diffrence between your first and second child, but that isnt nessasarily a bad thing. You wont have to worry about the jealousy factor and you will probably have a bit more help (kids always love to act like the grown-up).

Just remember - you cant always plan things like this out. If you do have a second child earlier then planned it may set you back a bit, but it will always work out and be worth it!

Good Luck

Answer 3

I think that it would be best to wait until the end of your schooling to get pregnant. You wont have a lot of time while you are in the nursing program, so what free time you do have you should spend with the child you have now. The more time you spend with him/her, the better, especially during early childhood, before they enter kindergarden. And if you change your mind halfway through schooling, you can still get pregnant, but if you get pregnant now, there is no going back.

Answer 4

I have had three children while in school. It is extremely difficult but we have managed. My situation is different from yours however, my husband is the sole provider and I only go to school on Saturday. I am a Nanny during the week, but the money is not always stable.
I think you need to look very hard at the situation you are in and decide for yourself what is best for your family. Do you feel as though you are able to spend enough time with the child you have now? Adding another child will make it that much more difficult to spend one on one time with your children.

Answer 5

What's the point of completing the nursing program if you will be pregnant/busy with kids an therefore unable to take a job?

Have your child while you complete your BS. Try to get a an entry level job in the medical field. When your children are in school, then go back and get your nursing degree.

Answer 6

Wait until you are both done with school. I have three kids....5 years between our first two, and 7 more years before the third was born. Our 13-year-old adores his baby sister. Just the same, my 12-year-old nephew adores his baby brother. Don't think that you have to have your kids close together "to be friends"...trust me, they're better friends the further apart they are.

Answer 7

Doesnt make a distinction, you cant regulate status considering which you have none. in case you go away in the previous you're 18 a million/2 you will possibly have the crime waived and your husband ought to start the technique of petitioning you out of your place u . s .. it would take around 5-6 months. in case you reside right here you will by no potential be able to be criminal and if caught you would be deported back on your very own u . s .. and you will by no potential be able to get a activity as a nurse.

Answer 8

wait its the best thing w\o alot of money!
