Looncat: when both parents are working, what happens is the baby is raised by random strangers' faces called "nannies" (
a euphemism for feminism run amuck for career-minded women). It is smarter to take off for the mother during the baby's formative years lest you end up like this million dollar CEO guy:

Everyday in NYC on Park Avenue, I see random women pushing around children who have no similar values and are not family. They are strangers hired by wealthy people to raise their kids. Every minute of your time during those years is valuable. In the worst case, you get a killer nanny. In a not so terrible case, the nanny won't speak broken english with double negatives or strange beliefs. Your kids are not only forming relationships but also their academic growth rapidly at this age. No amount of money or status is worth that sacrifice.
Best bet is to likely freeze your eggs, get your career set, then have kids while husband works and funds the household during those years. However don't wait too long as you don't want to unfreeze eggs as a 40 year old woman and by the time the kid is a teenager, you are a grandma in age. Energy drops and the body changes as you age. You want to play with your kids and spend quality time instead of popping back pain relief pills and stinking up their nursery like 2-nonenal (yeah, google that). I am not politically correct nor incorrect. Just telling you what I see. We cannot have it all in life as modern society would like you to believe. We make choices and determine our own priorities.
