Regret getting pregnant and not doing my PGCE training - advice

Hello everyone. So I work at a college based in the UK. I am due back from mat leave in an education support role. (Been in this role for nearly 10 years now). Going back part time. I was due to start a post 14 teacher training course part time for 2 years and also work full time in the department alongside this. I fell pregnant in September 2024 when the course was due to start, I was aged 35/36 when this happened. We were rolling the dice to see if this happened so was planned. Since having baby, who I love, I have had post natal depression and had a challenging year. I feel like a failure for not pursuing the course. Advice please with this.

First, sorry you’re having such a hard time! Is it possibly you can you still pursue the course now? You get support with funding childcare etc?
