[quote=Anonymous]I started a new job at exactly the same point in my career and personal life. I did get pregnant at the 1.5 year point and planned to stay on after I had the baby. Work (federal position) was supportive of me during pregnancy. I ultimately left the job after going back for 6 months after baby came, and was terribly concerned about what that "looked like." My colleagues and managers were so understanding and very much supportive of my decision to leave. At the end of the day, most of the people you're working with are parents too, all of whom have grappled with difficult decisions when t comes to managing work and family. Very few people judge you negatively for weighing your personal life with your professional life, and if they do judge you they're not people you want to work with anyway. Good luck on whatever paj you choose, and do choose what feels right to you and not what you think "looks right" to others. [/quote]
