Hi everyone. I am new to this forum (and any forum)
I am wondering if anyone out there has experienced having a baby during their PhD. I am 28, in my 3rd year, I've finished my course work and comprehensive exams and will finish my data collection this winter/spring. I have been thinking that my last year would be a good time to have my first kid (I have step kids too but no experience with a baby...only preteens and teenagers...I guess I'm working at it backwards lol)
Do you think I am fooling myself into thinking I will be able to write with a newborn or is it doable?
