Hi all,
I am in need of some serious help and can't make a decision based on my personal circumstances....
I am hoping some of you have gone through something similar and can give some expert advice.
Background:
Age: 28, Female, Bachelors in Fine Arts (Graphic design)
York univ. Toronto has a GPA scale of 9, I was around 7.5 for last 2 yrs of undergrad (First 2 yrs was a disaster due to a major car accident.
Work experience : 6+ yrs, + helping in family business since high school
Post MBA plans: Go into Medical Management
(Currently not employed out of choice, I had the luxury to quit my job and study for gmat)
Gmat Prep:
Last I had anything to do with math was in grade 12, so not so strong in quant, verbal I am comfortable with, have finished the Manhattan verbal sets, Quant is taking longer I still have last 3 guides to finish.
Haven't looked at OG except the q's mentioned in Manhattan practice set.
Have finished Kaplan verbal guide.
My dilemma arise here: As I am nearing the end of my GMAT prep, a lot of personal things have come up unexpectedly: for example I have to travel for 1.5 months (starting mid oct to end nov. which is unavoidable), initially wanted to write Gmat around mid nov but now I cant due to traveling, don't want to have a long break in between prep and then give Gmat in dec. and here is the biggest deciding factor,
I am expecting
, so studies haven’t been as smooth as I had planned, plus I can’t join my intended program until 2012 (baby would be too young in sept. 2011)
My target score was around 690, most of good Canadian schools require that range, My first Kaplan diagnostic test I was around 500, don’t remember the Q/V breakdown(this was a while back). My hubby is planning to complete his PhD in US, and most of good US schools require 700+ scores so we may end up moving to US and I personally like US schools better.
Now what I can’t decide is give GMAT now and retake later (I am sure I would have to there is no way I will be able to score 700+ )
Or come back from traveling, complete 1 revision, if time permits take a Knewton course and then attempt GMAT around dec/jan (I will be 7th-8th month pregnant) and get a decent score.
After having heated debates with my hubby his advice is to attempt GMAT now and retake if needed, His biggest reason if I put it off now I would delay it further until the baby arrives and then I may never do it. But I am just not ready for it.
I can’t decide between taking Gmat now around oct 15th or so (in next 2 weeks??? oh dear God!) and scoring around 550-600 and then re take, that would be self inflicted torture, having to study for GMAT all over again during last trimester!
I have read some of the most amazing GMAT experiences here, people working 40+hrs, managing work/family/GMAT, people getting 700+ scores with young kids etc. sometimes I think I am just being lazy and making all kinds of excuses for myself, if others can do it so can I, I am just not working hard enough.
Anyone out there who has gone through something similar?
Please drop a line or two….I would really appreciate it.
Thanks all!

First of all, Congratulations on becoming a mommy...... 
You mentioned you won't be joining until 2012, so you really don't have to give the exam this October or even in Dec /Jan. You can take the test in Mid or Late 2011(depending on when applications for the 2012 courses open).
Still, if you need some inspiration, you can check out the below thread which has some great GMAT stories.

If you are planning to apply in 2012, I think you should give your exam only after getting fully prepared and when you are full of confidence! Give the best shot, you can do it!
