[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like my focus improved after I had a baby.  I was able to finish law school with better grades than before and pass the bar exam without trouble.  I think the key is having enough support so that you feel like your child is being loved and taken care of when you're not there.[/quote]
Do you have family/friends to help or did you hire a sitter?[/quote]

It was a juggling act, my mom helped, and we couldn't really afford much at the time.  When I returned to school, I packed all my classes into one day per week and weekends.  My husband was able to work from home that day, and I don't know how, but he managed to take care of the baby at the same time.  Then, when I had internships, my mom came to help me.  For the first month of studying for the bar, I would start my studying after everybody went to bed.  A month before the exam, I realized I needed to do better.  I went and stayed with my mom for 3 weeks and she helped me again.  It was hard, but my own sense of focus was not the problem, it was making sure someone was with the baby while I worked.  As long as the logistics were working out, I could do the work I needed to do and focus as hard as I needed to.  I never felt worried about the baby when I was out of the house, because I knew she was going to be fine.[/quote]
