Help with Training for a new career whilst pregnant

[Elliegirl]

I am planning on trying for a baby next year and I am hopeful that I might be able to use the time off constructively to train for a new career. I am currently a secretary, well I have been for many years now, too many years! I HATE what I do, but by the same token I am in a catch 22 situation whereas I can not afford to return to college full time because I have too many financial restraints.

I am very keen to do something creative, maybe train to be a photographer or a florist, and I was wondering if anyone knew if pregnant women get any help with training whilst off work and pregnant? Is it only if you are signing on you get this privilige?! I know that I could do something part time in the evenings whilst I am working, but to be honest I want something more intensive so that I can make the transission from the 9-5 grind to doing something I love quicker! Please help!
