I had the same situation. I just found out that I am pregnant. I got admissions already. I am still thinking what should I do. Is there anyway that I started on the second quarter.
Qingyin, I got three offers and I am definitely going to one of them. I will tell the school as soon as I decided which school I am going to attend. I possibly going to attend the program that I can still working full time. I know it sounds crazy. My parents will be here in US help me. My husband is extemely supportive but he got a phd in computer science and will be looking for a faculty job. So I do not have visa issue and the school is supposed to be very helpful with my schedule. But like you said, I am worried how can I cope with all the fun that is going on with my life.
Thanks Qingyin for the suggestion. My due date is end of september. I am in US already and I am going to one of the three schools that give me the offer. So I do not have a visa issue. As soon as I decide which school I am going to I will talk to the admission director about the matter. Also I might going to a program that can allow me to continue my full time job so the program should be flexible enough for me to begin in second quarter. What I am worried about is how can I cope with so much fun in my life. Also, I dearest hub is going to graduate from UCLA computer science dept this year and is looking for a faculty job. I really hope he can be with me.
Don't worry, generally the school will be very considerate of your condition. And I think your decision is right--waiting for a year will be worth it because you can take care of the baby now and focus on studies and recruiting next year. It's hard to do both well, and the timing of the baby is perfect...
