Second of all, there is no medical reason why you can't complete this type of work in your seventh and eighth months of pregnancy. It's been my experience that the women who remain active throughout their pregnancies actually seem to have more energy than those who decide to take it easy. Of course, this does not take into account medical reasons for taking it easy (like high blood pressure). Just a note--the last patient I knew of who had plans to complete her Master's during the latter part of her pregnancy ended up pregnant with triplets (no fertility meds, had healthy babies) and had vastly changed plans!! The best-laid plans..... :-)
