My husband and I are thinking of getting pregnant during 4th year of med school, since I'll have tons of free time to take care of a newborn and then start residency. Do Ob-Gyn residency programs look down on pregnant applicants? I would think NO, since, after all, it is Ob-Gyn, but I don't want to assume this and then realize that my baby bump affected my chance of matching into my #1 spot.
The other option is getting pregnant during residency, of course, but I almost think this WOULD be looked down on because Ob-Gyn programs rely on their residents a lot, and most don't accept that many to begin with. I would assume (again, this is my opinion but I'd like more info on the subject) that having children already would not be such a big deal.
Thank you for answering my questions!
