Student-VA Mom.

Question

Hi mommies! Just wanted to hear some advices galing sa mga kapwa nanay ko rin.I am planning to enroll this January since studying pa ko bago ako mabuntis and my baby is currently 7 mos now so two semester ako nag-stop. May part sa akin na gusto ko mag-aral since 2 years na lang naman makaka-graduate na ko and nakakuha na kami nang mag-aalaga for our baby. Schedule ko is 7AM - 2PM nasa school ako and 3PM until 8PM WFH VA ako pero flexi time naman. Exclusive breastfed yung baby ko and now na planning ako mag-aral, nasasaktan ako na malalayo ako sa kaniya. Nandun yung mom guilt na wala ako sa tabi nya if ever need nya ako, paano ko siya patatahanin. Andoon din yung worry ba baka hindi kami maging close growing up, maging absent mom ako. This may seem a little nonsense pero super torn po ako. May same experience po ba sa akin dito and ano po naging desisyon nyo? Thank you! 😊

im a working mom with 2 kids.we have this maternity leave and after the maternity leave, go back to work na 3 months pa lang si baby.in my experience, there is this maternal instinct na hindi lalayo ang loob ng anak namin despite na wala kami during daytime because of work. we ensure na kapag nasa bahay kami ni hubby, naka focus kami sa kids to make them feel that they are loved.i know friends who were pregnant while in school. so they stopped pero bumalik din sila sa school para makapagtapos, ngaun doctor na sia. it is natural to be torn or get worried as a first time mom.always seek advice and with prayers for guidance.
