Moving not travel so much
I applied to graduate school right before I found out I was pregnant with my 1st. If I get accepted, I would have to move across country and start school in the 8th month of a high risk pregnancy. I'm nervous about whether I should move and start school so I am in with my graduating class and have the baby mid-semester in a new town (moms will surely come spend a few weeks to help). That means finding a new MD, hospital, etc.
OR should I try to study at home a semster maybe online if I can. I would be the new kid in the spring semester after everyone has forged bonds in the fall, but I would have the baby here with lots of support from family and friends, my doc, my hospital. My school may not allow internet courses at the Phd level.
I know for some of you this is a no brainer to stay home and forget school, but this has been a dream of mine for 10 years to go back and finish my Phd. What would you do?
Re: Moving not travel so much
Personally, I'd talk to my current doc, and find an OB in the area you'd have to move to and talk to them as well. At month 8 - especially if you're high risk - you're going to want to have all your ducks in a row ASAP. Things like getting records transferred, registering at the hospital, etc. And that assumes a doc will even take you on as a patient given the circumstances.
I had to move when I was 20 weeks PG with #1, when DH got a new job out of state. I had an OB lined up before I got there so that the transition went as smoothly as possible. Even then it was involved, and I wasn't that far along or high risk.
Good luck!
