Hi guys,
Im 30 yrs old, and will apply to pharm school this summer and will hopefully start during the fall semester of the next year. My husband and I are debating whether i should try having a baby now, or during the second year of pharm school or wait until i am done.
1. Baby now: Assuming that we are fortunate and I am pregnant right away and that I have the baby prior to the start of Pharm school, i am worried about the pressures of motherhood and pharm school colliding.
2. Baby second year of pharm school: My husband thinks that after the first year, I will be better adjusted to the school environment and that I may be able to balance things better.
3. AFter pharm school: My concern is that every year that I get older, it gets harder and harder to have a baby. I will be 35 years old by the time that my pharm school studies are done.
I spoke to two of my female professors and they think its better to wait until im completely done with school.
Would it be extremely difficult to have a baby and go to school at the same time?
Any thoughts on this will be very helpful for me!! Especially from Moms who have had to face this issue.
Thanks in advance for your help!
