    Now that the first trimester is over and I'm no longer feeling nauseous I'm considering doing an exam for my job in work.

    Are there any mums to be out there who have sat exams while pregnant?

    Just a bit concerned about concentration levels and also if it would be a bit stressful for the baby.

    yes i did - actually i was in the middle of a m/c and:( knew it too.
    Just focused on the stuff and the test was done before i knew it. It was grand. Subsequently expecting again doing assignments its a little harder as my focus changed and i dawdle more!

    lucky you having no sickness! :)
    i did my leaving cert at eight months gone. although i spent the school year at home with chronic 'morning' sickness so i studied to keep my mind off it!
    just let the invigilator or whoever will be at the exam know in case anything happens.
    as for the studying/concentration and whatnot its grand! its a nice distraction tbh! the stress of the lc did make the baby do a lot more kicking though so be prepared for a fight! and if the exams will be long make sure you can eat something during them cause you will be hungry! alot!
    good luck! and congrats!

    Thanks for the replies and advice.
    I think I will sit the exam, it's a 4 hour multiple choice and sure if I fail I can always repeat it :o
