[quote=Anonymous]OP, my best friend was in a similar situation as you. She spent her 2L in an overseas program, where she met her husband and got pregnant quite by accident. She had the baby and took off a year (or maybe 2) and then returned to law school and finished. She doesn't live in the DC area so I guess things are different, but she does work for her city's top law firm (so maybe the local equivalent of BigLaw?) and does well there. She actually has two kids now, ages 11 and 1.5. The one difference is that because her husband isn't legal to work here yet, he stays at home so the cost of childcare for her is free and they depend on her salary alone. She does work long hours and has definitely put in her time. Like I said, it's not in the DC area, so probably much less stressful than BigLaw here, but she has made it work for her. Good luck![/quote]
