I was excused from calls in third trimester
But I took exams immediately post partum and that was incredibly stressful coz I failed 1 year before. Luckily managed to pass the second time.
It was hard. Incredibly hard. Missed a lot of time with my older child.

not sure how people manage exams, work, calls on top of being pregnant and taking care of kid.
asking my parents or father / mother in law is out of the question as they are also working and live very far.
just curious how people do it

suggest u go ahead with first kid during med sch.
if need be, take a leave of absence.
even my yllsom classmates, some took leave of absence during med sch (even though just early twenties). those that took gap year during junior HO/MO also nv regret it.
med is comfortable lah.
again HO is 5k, MO is 10k, reg is 15K, ac/gp is 20K annualised
but as LYK say if you are a woman, quickly go bear children first.
the in laws can take care
i just attended a funeral. served the biggest hospital in the south for 30 years.
zero. i mean like really zero ex colleagues came.
very sad not to have children. your colleagues wont rmb you. your patients wont rmb you.
only your family does.

That's not a very helpful reply
It's not rly hard to get hired. Try locuming around. Usu if you're quite OK you will get offers all the time
But it can be hard to take mc and leave
Prob needs negotiation
Esp if its a small company

Why delay marriage.
You should get preggie as a med student.
Can one. Med school is not hard.
Internship year v siong, U can't get pregnant.
As a mopex, U not gonna get into any program carrying a parasite in your abdo
As a young ressie, it's really stressful, U really don't want to be pregnant
if not your next opportunity is when U finish residency or when U quit the race and become a gp or locum.
