My uni were nothing but supportive. I took a year out because she was born November of what would have been my final year and I felt I couldnt leave her that young and a 20 odd mile commute either. as I had a section, I couldnt have managed it and Im glad I had the time to be with her at home, neither way is right or wrong but starting my 3rd year the following academic year was the best decision for me and I successfully graduated a year ago. I got so much support of my tutors and my fellow students in my dissertation group too, who would email me notes when I couldnt be there. With the intercalation, I had to write a formal letter with the backing of my tutor saying blah blah i was committed and a letter from my GP confirming my pregnancy and the dates. That went to the Board Of Examiners who had the final say. I was waiting a few months which was quite nerve racking. When I was have the year out, I still had uni support just no access to Library/IT facilities etc. Only you know whats best, but I enjoyed being with her those first months.
