I've recently found out im pregnant, 6 weeks to be exact. I'm separated from my husband and have been with my current partner for over a year. I've recently been accepted into university which I have wanted to do this course for 5 years but something always pops up. This would be my partners first child and hes almost 30. We initially decided to abort. But then he come home from work, and said ' nothing ever happens and the right time so why don't we just have the baby I'm nearly 30 and getting old. I'm confused in myself. I really want to do my course, but at the same time want to keep this baby. I get very ill while pregnant so I wouldn't be able to do both. I'm not sure what I am asking, I just don't know what to do.

Maybe contact the uni see about deferring or doing a small work load
I'd honestly just give it ago. I study full time with 3 small children. It's doable. Just start off part time and if you feel you are not coping then defer. We are very lucky that we have the opportunity to have best of both worlds. Good luck.
You never regret the children you have, only the ones you didn't have. Uni can be done after baby has arrived or via correspondence or deferred...
You could give it a go or see if you could differ for a year. I feel pregnant the same time I was accepted to uni I studies for 2 years doing a half load then had to take 6 month break when I feel pregnant with bub number 2. I've now finished my course and about to start my dream job next week
I'm currently pregnant too. I was not too long into my 2nd year of my course when we found out. I was part time thinking i could finsh the year out i tried. I've ended up deferring for 12 months as i just couldn't concentrate and do as well as i wanted. I plan on trying again next year and doing 1 unit at a time. Give it a go you can always defer
