Pregnancy question

Hello all,
My husband and I are pondering the idea of possibly getting pregnant (our last one), so my due date would be shortly after I graduate. So I'd be 5-8 months during my last semester. OR waiting, and I would be GETTING pregnant a few months after beginning a new job. I know the last semester is hard, but I imagine that it may 'blackball' me if I need any restrictions as a new employee.Yes, I know that legally they can't, but that doesn't mean it wont happen. Either way, I won't qualify for the FMLA, and I don't really like EITHER option I'm proposing, but I don't know much about what happens after graduation, as far as time frame. A part of me thinks it may be better to be off with the baby for a few months BEFORE a new job. The other part of me feels like I would like to get bringing in some money. I guess any info about either of these options would be appreciated.


Thanks all!
no answers anything here =[ i posted yesterday and still no reply lol. know of any good forums ? ( i know its off topic but i probably couldnt answer what you're asking since im not even anywhere near being a nurse yet) sorry
Can you delay getting pregnant for about 4 months after starting a job? That would let you qualify for FMLA since you will have been there a year at the end of your pregnancy, right? I'm currently on maternity leave, and love that I can be off for the full 12 weeks. If I'd had to go back after only 6 weeks I think I would have had a really hard time. Out of your 2 options you posted, I think I might rather be pregant thru my last semester (although it will be really hard) so that I could spend as much time with the baby as I wanted before committing to a job.

Either way, being pregnant during school and being pregnant while working are both hard! But I'm sure I dont' have to tell you that since this isn't your first.
