Nothing is impossible but it won't be easy! Try to get as big of a support system as possible. You'll need to do alot of studying and will need help with your baby. But you can do it! Try to keep home organized etc. so that you will have enough time to split between your schoolwork and your baby!! God Luck!!!

I honestly think anything is possible as long as you keep a positive mind about your goal. I mean i think you should know that it could prolly get hard but you should work through this and be focused to accomplish your goal as well as be a parent to your child. I don't know from experience but i am almost 17 and am almost 3 months along now. I plan to finish high school while keeping my 4.0 as well as going to college to be a dentist. I am prepared for the hardships and am ready to face the challenge I will let nothing stand in the way of my future of being a dentist as well as a good mother to my child. Congratulations and good luck.

The person who graduated number 2 in my law school class had two children while in law school (took her 5-1/2 years to graduate)

It's absolutely possible, but you need the support of your husband and your family/friends. I finished my Master's degree after I had baby #1, and am now going for my PhD while pregnant with baby #2. I wouldn't have been able to do it if not for my husband and my parents and inlaws, who were so helpful and supportive. It's definitely possible, so go for it. Good luck.

My mom went through with law school as a single mother with 2 young kids. It's hard, but defintiely possible, and worth it at the end to be able to provide for your children.

Sure if you have a good babysitter. Some colleges offer child care so you will want to find out.
You may want to take a light course load, even if it takes longer to finish school. You need to spend time with your child at home and don't want to constantly be tied up doing school work.

I'd tell you to not go to Law School yet. Your newborn will need you during his first 3 months at least. He needs your care and the nutrition YOU only can provide to him. Education is something thats always going to be there for us, it will not go away.

It's very possible! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised how many programs, grants, scholarships, etc...are out there for people in your exact situation.
If your life is anything like mine, your biggest stumbling block will be child care for the hours you are in school. Check with the college you plan on attending and see if they have daycare availible. Mine did.

Anything is possible. You will need LOTS of help though, not just when you are at school, but when you need to study. Good Luck to you.

Who will be raising your child while you are at class? While studying?
Law school is very difficult and infants deserve the full attention of their mother. Too bad you don't find motherhood is important enough to make it your full time course of study.
