My student teaching semester lasted from January through April. However, my first son was due in the middle of July. That left me pregnant and dealing with all of the awesome side effects during my student teaching experience<\/a>. It wasn\u2019t easy, but I got through it and had a great experience. To help you get through student teaching pregnant, remember these 5 tips.<\/p>\n

Keep Snacks on Hand<\/h2>\n

When I first started as a student teacher, I was dealing with morning sickness<\/a>. Of course, I lucked out and morning sickness meant all-day sickness for me. To combat this, I kept crackers and other snacks on hand. Rather than eating 3 square meals every day, I had several healthy snacks<\/a> throughout the day. Also, keep mints on hand to freshen up your mouth, as needed.<\/p>\n

Drink Plenty of Water<\/h2>\n

According to BabyCenter.com<\/a>, you should drink at least 64 ounces of water every day when you\u2019re pregnant. It\u2019s difficult to stay hydrated when your struggling to get to the bathroom between classes. And let\u2019s face it — you\u2019re going to use the bathroom regularly throughout the day. Keep plenty of water bottles on hand, and sneak to the bathroom whenever you can.<\/p>\n

Rest Whenever Possible<\/h2>\n

One of the biggest obstacles for me was fatigue. Luckily, I found my energy again during the second trimester. In the meantime, I made sure to get plenty of sleep every night. If you find yourself getting tired during the day, take a quick power nap during your planning period or rest your eyes during passing periods or recess. I wouldn\u2019t get in the habit of doing this every day, but do what you need to do to get through the day.<\/p>\n

Speak to Your Doctor<\/h2>\n

You\u2019re not the first educator who\u2019s given birth. As such, your doctor probably has some great tips for you to keep in mind. Let your doctor know about anything that might be worrying you, so you can work together to keep you and the baby healthy. If you need to go on bed rest, you might want to consider withdrawing from student teaching until a later time.<\/p>\n

Share Your News<\/h2>\n

Definitely tell your university supervisor and cooperating teacher that you\u2019re pregnant. Although you shouldn\u2019t expect any specialized treatment, it\u2019s helpful for them to know about your health and how it could affect your student teaching experience. I also announced my pregnancy\u00a0to my students<\/a>. They loved getting to hear about my doctor\u2019s appointments, see the ultrasounds, and brainstorm baby names with me. It was fun including them in it, but it\u2019s up to you whether or not you decide to announce it.

\nI\u2019m not going to sugarcoat it for you. Student teaching while pregnant adds a whole new obstacle that you need to overcome. However, you can do it! And in the process, you can develop traits and skills that you can use when you get your own classroom. Good luck and congratulations!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
