I'm 29 and hoping to enroll next year when I'm 30. I'm female, single and I have no kids. By the time I'm done with med school, I'll be close to 40 years old and that in itself is already a risk in terms of having kids. I don't know how likely it is for me to actually plan to have a child during med school. So I'm just going to have to roll with the punches on this one; if it happens it happens, and if it doesn't then: oh well.
Is there any woman in here that actually had a child during med school? I cannot begin to imagine how difficult that would be for me. I know that it's an option to take a 1-year break from school but I don't know how much that will affect my studies. The way I see it, having a kid during my studies could potentially make me a drop out.
I want this so much, and I sometimes want to kick myself for not wanting this sooner. If I don't go for it, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
