Maybe she'll go past term, or is she going to be induced to meet the
deadline? What if she ends up with a CS and is still in the hospital the
Saturday of the class? Pretty tight logistics here. Seems to be a need
for guidance and further contingency planning for this young woman.

Without it, seems to me she could be setting herself up for a huge
disappointment in herself, let alone, complicating her breastfeeding
experience. Better to plan for the worst case scenario and hope for the
best!

First time mom can't begin to imagine what even plain old sleep
deprivation alone could do to her concentration for 8 straight hours
within the first postpartum week, let alone shifting hormones,
hemorrhoids,  incisional pain of one sort or another, and engorgement
(whether she breastfeeds or totally ABM feeds)!

What would happen to the fee this mom paid if she developed appendicitis
or had an emergency cholecystectomy 4-7 days before that particular MBA
class? Is there no way that a computer link with the instructor, plus a
tape recording of the class could be utilized? What about  negotiating
for an Independent study and written report in advance of delivery?
