[quote=Anonymous]Another yes from a 31 year old mom of a 6 mo old who left the private sector for a govt. job a few months before I got pregnant. I cannot imagine working my old, all-consuming job during my pregnancy or these early months. This job doesn't take everything I have to do, which means I can still do it well even when I'm only at 75%. When I was at 100%, that meant this job was sometimes boring, but now its just right. I actually think its a good career move to put yourself in a position to excel in your job in these mommy years instead of spreading yourself too thin and floundering in the more prestigious/stressful job. That said, my career is still very important to me, maybe even more now that I have a daughter who will be looking to me as a role model. Make sure you are developing / honing marketable skills (either in your job or through outside opportunities) and see how you feel once you've actually got a kid.[/quote]
