You definitely want to get the lab done before your baby is born. I think
attempting to get the lab knocked out after the baby is born could prove to
be a very very very difficult challenge...not trying to put any pressure on
you or anything! ;)
Make sure you have a structured approach. Here's an approach I put together
for students to use:

Yeah, there is a lot going on. I notice every night when I go to bed my
eyes are nice and red!
She is due August 3rd. My wife said she will slaughter me if I am taking
the lab and our daughter is born early! So I am hoping that I can take it
on the 6th and pass on the first try, even though I am short on experience
compared to most here. :)

remember when I was studying for the lab, I bought my girlfriend a puppy so
she would leave me alone.. It's definitely harder to study for the lab with
all of those distractions going on. It really comes down to time management.
Get up an hour early, go to bed an hour later, etc. It sounds like you have
a lot going on! Good luck.
When is the little one due?

Subject: OT: Feeling overwhelmed
This is sort of OT, but I was wondering what everyone does when they feel
overwhelmed with studying for the lab. I just passed the written on Feb
3rd, and have been studying 30+ hours a week ever since. I'm learning a ton
along the way, but sometimes I feel like I have no prayer of learning enough
to pass. I am scheduled to take the lab on July 6th, but I may not take it
then.
How do you deal with the stress of studying, work, family, etc? My wife is
pregnant with our first child, we are in the process of buying a house, and
I'm trying to pass this lab. I guess I just wonder sometimes if it is worth
it or if I should wait a year before attempting it. Thanks for letting a
newbie vent.
