I'll be matriculating at MSUCOM in June 2012. I was wondering if any current students or recent grads have any insight on what I could expect as a new mom in medical school (specific to MSUCOM).
I am not currently pregnant, and have previously always wanted to wait until I finished residency to have children. However, my boyfriend of 3+ years is moving back to East Lansing and we have been talking more seriously about getting married, family planning, etc. He is older and wants to have children within the next 4 or 5 years (he is currently 44). I'm excited for motherhood and not totally against having kids in that time frame, but the thought of having kids in med school is a little scary for me. I know there is never a "right" time to have a baby and I'm sure once we have kids, we'll figure out a way to make it work. What I'd like to hear from those at MSUCOM or those familiar with stories of parents (particularly new mothers) at MSUCOM is what I can expect as far as how supportive the environment there is to new mothers, etc.
Thanks in advance!
