I have seen many pregnant residents in large medical ctrs. some in their 20s some 30s.
They work until 8 1/2 mos, take 6 wks off, then come back. Most programs allow this. The father should also help out afterwards or these hosps also have daycare on site or closeby. Nobody can discriminate you because of pregnancy, its nature. Only if u were surg resident then u may not be able to stand long hrs. Do what u have to do, esp if u r close to age 35, don't take chances w/ genetic probs. GL
