It’s hard to pinpoint one thing that’s the best about being a student mother. Part of it is the smiles and the cuddles at the end of a long day of studying and you get to go home and play with toys! But there’s also the knowledge that what I’m doing will benefit her. When I chose to continue with university while pregnant and after she was born, it was motivated by wanting to set a good example for her.
One of the best things I’ve experienced is how my course has supported me and the lecturers and course supported me through my pregnancy, and adore my daughter, and that support has enabled me to be on track to graduate with the friends I started university with, and to know that we have the support and love of a huge extended ‘family’ around us.
