This research aimed to gain insight into individual experiences of pregnancy and parenthood during the time of study. The research sample consisted of five interviewees, student mothers, and through semi-structured interviews, an in-depth exploration was conducted into three temporal periods of their experience: pregnancy, transition into parenthood, and parenthood during the time of study. The obtained results are grouped into four sections, which besides the previously mentioned three periods, also encompass the theme of assistance and support from the interviewees' environment. Challenges and benefits are sought to be identified throughout all sections. The period of pregnancy is marked by numerous changes in the lives of the interviewees, most notably physical changes, which also present challenges in fulfilling their academic obligations. The change in emotional state and life priorities during the transition into parenthood raised questions about the continuation of the interviewees' academic education. Balancing parental and academic challenges proved to be the greatest challenge for student mothers participating in this research, but also the greatest catalyst for the development of numerous skills such as organizational skills. Motherhood itself proved to be a source of motivation and strength for continuing education. The immediate environment of the interviewees provided emotional and material support as well as assistance in fulfilling obligations towards the child, while in the context of academic support, professors were most prominently mentioned. Obstacles to successful adaptation of parents to studying include the lack of their rights and societal prejudices.
