[quote=Anonymous]I had kid during residency . Pregnant first year and gave birth second year. I worked until day of delivery. I took four weeks off. 
DH was in neurosurgery residency third year. 
It was very rough. We had no family help because we are from another country. Fortunately, we worked as an attending before coming to the USA. We Dave / investor well and we use those money to fund day care and Aupair. We hire a live in nanny during baby’s first year. She took care of DS during the day. I still had to tend to DS nightly . I barely sleep more than 4 hours on average for his first 3 years. It was very rough so we decided to only have one and done.

Look back it was perfect timing.we were  31 and 35. I saw my classmates and siblings having a hard time conceiving at age 38 to 39 years old. Some went though multiple round of ivf ( 5+ ) without success. One of my friend confessed to me that she saw how exhaust I was during residency so she waited until she and her DH finished everything and tried. But now she still not successful even with more than five rounds of ivf. So she thought my timing was perfect too.
