Jacqueline Stapleton balances medical studies and motherhood
Jacqueline Stapleton, a second-year medical student at Charles Sturt University, is balancing full-time studies with motherhood to address regional doctor shortages. Stapleton discovered she was pregnant with her second child, Ivy, in mid-2025 and experienced hyperemesis gravidarum, a condition involving severe nausea and fatigue, during her pregnancy.
To manage her responsibilities, Stapleton has adapted her study habits, such as using the university library’s audio features to listen to textbooks while caring for her infant. She expressed a commitment to continuing her education despite the lack of a fixed routine, noting that she aims to pursue her degree when it is a possible time rather than waiting for a perfect one.
