Should I have another baby while in nursing school?
I have one daughter who is 19 months old.I have always wanted to have my children close together, but didnt plan on having her so soon therefore, I didnt think it would happen. I do not regret her in anyway even though she was total surprise! She was such a good baby and is a very well behaved/ smart toddler. Ever since she turned one and started walking, I have had baby fever! I ignored it, started school and have been trying to do the right thing and getting my education! 2 semesters later, I cannot ignore the baby fever anymore! I want another baby, and so does my husband! He has been bugging me for the last few weeks and it is so hard to tell him no when I want it so bad!
I start my clinicals in the fall and have had permission to take off a semester if needed to care for the baby. We plan to TTC in April or May, maybe even June to ensure I have the baby after the first of the year. We are shooting for February that way I have around 6 months to be with the baby.I would be betting and hoping my pregnancy will not be too complicated as my first was a nightmare! The only upside to this is that I will have a full summer to get over morning sickness and fatigue. I would be around 4 to 5 months when starting clinicals.I would have to go through my first semester pregnant and I would obviously have to take off the Spring semester and I already have the summer semester off so I would have a few months with the baby as well as some time to freshen up on a few things for school.
In the back of my mind, I cant stop thinking this may not be the best decision because nursing school is very complicated and time consuming. I seem to balance my schedule very well right now with one and actually have a lot of extra time on my hands. I do not have to work as my husbands job pays well enough for us to get along just fine without a second salary.
So, heres my question…to moms/dads or anyone who is going or has went through something like this…
Is nursing school manageable with 2 kids? I have a great support system as well as free daycare for the majority of the time. My husband works 2nd shift and can help care for the baby as well so he/she will not be at a daycare ALL the time. My work load will be a little lighter as I have taken most of the classroom required classes. I will just have a few general classes and clinicals. No one semester should exceed 12-15 credit hours.
Opinions? I really do want a baby but I dont want to get in over my head and end up dropping out and ruining my dream of becoming a nurse!
Nothing rude please, I dont usually put my personal life out here like this, i just need some opinions/ advice! Its strange because I am usually on the other end giving the advice!
I would suggest waiting a few years until your child is about 4. Now, all two of my kids are in college and one is about to graduate high school. The two in college are two years apart. One was a toddler and one was a baby. I couldn’t possible spend time with both of them.

Sure, it can be done with two babies.Many do it.BUT…Think about it for a second.I see a lot of justifications of why you should have one now but not alot of why you shouldn’t.
You want to be a nurse.Its your dream.Nursing school is demanding.You will already be caring for one baby, and you will be pregnant with the second.What if you are chronically fatigued throughout the WHOLE pregnancy? what if you have morning sickness throughout the WHOLE pregnancy and anti emetics won’t work? this COULD happen.One pregnancy could be perfectly fine while another is a nightmare.Hormones are a bi tch.
You will not be 100% committed to nursing because you will be stressed, tired and sick.You will not be 100% committed to your child that you already have because of the above plus you will have school.You will not be 100% committed to your husband because you will be busy with all of the above.
It would just be better for you to finish the rest of school and then have a baby.That way, you will be committed to your family 100% instead of having the responsibility of school on your back.
Of course its your life and you will make whatever choices you feel is right.There are no wrong choices in this scenario.Waiting would just be a less stressful one.
*I have a 6 year old, 5 year old and a 2 year old.They all get along perfectly together despite the age range between the two older ones and the younger one.

I would wait until you are done to be honest. I mean it is up to you but school is so important, when you can control when y0u have kids why not accompish something for yourself and then when you have the dream job then get preggo.
I have a 2 yr old n was really thinking about adding to our family now, but im in the same boat i have clinicals coming up in the spring.. i’ve wanted to be an MLt more then anything and i’ve made it this far taking care of a 2yr old while my bf works 3rds n goes to school full time i dont want to throw it all away.. do i want another YES… but only after i do this for myself first!
