does anyone know if it is ok to take a year out (as i am due at the start of my final year) and then continue the degree again?

Absolutely!
However, take a look at some of your alternatives - maybe you can go part time and do some of the classes online. That way you can still be at home, but you can continue.
Maybe your school offers some evening classes that would work for you.
Of course, you can always take a year off. Just talk to the school about their procedure. Usually they'll just put your file on hold, so to speak. You won't have to reapply for admission or anything. Then the next year, just pick up where you left off. Though I do have to say - going to school with kids is tough - I am back in school, after about five years off - it's tough but WONDERFUL! I am doing my degree online, which works well for us.
Good luck! And Congratulations - babies are so much fun!!

You can take a year off your studies. We often regret our past actions and decisions later in life when our decisions boomerang upon us. Presently you are excited (as is natural for a girl/woman) about being on the way to motherhood; doing otherway would put you in jeopardy both mentally and physically. I jwish that you just remain in touch with books. Also be wary of the fact that it will require extra ordinary determination to bring up both your child as well as your studies later in life. You may not spare enough of time and energy for your studies. Just be prepared for these eventualities.

Absolutely. Even in a lock-step program, we've had people who took a year off for medical treatment and came back a year later. They had to adjust to new classmates, but it can be done.

You can take a year off from your studies and them go back. Check with the admissions office about the process.

You're happy about the baby, so there's no problem. The school will always be there while the baby may not come again. Congratulations!

Talk to the school administration about this. But it may not be necessary; people can accomplish a lot even with babies to deal with.

Ok? It is up to you. Can you handle it? As for financial obligations and time on credits talk to your school, not Yahoo! Ganswers.
