I would have to go with program ONE. Family and support is HUGELY important in residency no matter what you pick. If you can be near family/friends it is a major PLUS as you do not know what life will bring ie how much you will need them. Good luck.

Do you have a contract? If so, then you are free to be pregnant and be happy. If not, don't mention it until you do, and press to get one signed as soon as possible. Good luck.

I listened to a radio show online about how to help women thru things like this (I plan on going into Ob-Gyn, so it isn't as strange as it sounds). It is a really good listen, if you can find the time. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/progressive...-pr

After doing some research, I decided to go on hiatus with Komen until all this gets sorted out to my satisfaction. Last week, I received a letter from the national president of Komen regarding this matter, but I'm still not comfortable continuing as

My latest thing: self help books. I alternate listening to a parenting book and a marriage book on my commute in the morning. I read them when I am sitting around at work, and I read them while I ride my exercise bike. I feel like I have a much bette

Thanks, sahmd! I finally broke down and called the financial aid office of the school I plan to apply to, and they were very helpful. I will certainly consider your thoughts, as well as loan options.

Ugh. It totally is register-for-preschool time... but it's a lot more expensive to hold a slot in a preschool than to get on a daycare waitlist. My 2cents: preschool is awesome but is lower stakes than childcare overall, and I'd hold off until matc

I am going thru this right now! I am 20 weeks and just finishing week 4 (of 8) in surgery. The unfortunate thing about my pregnancies (besides the nausea that ended 2 weeks ago) is that I get vasovagal reactions on random occasions...and I have overh

I had my first in the summer after MSI. I wanted to be able to breastfeed for a year (and the becomes harder once MSIII begins). Looking back on my delivery, the hardest thing for me was the 8 week brain fart I had postpartum. I was waking up 3-4 tim

Have you thought about being a PA? You are done in two years, and you could easily work part-time. It might be the perfect fit for working in medicine, but balancing a family the way you'd like.

For what it's worth, I was pregnant for a few weeks during gross anatomy, and I decided to wear one of those N95 respirator masks. Although it was harder to breathe/talk with it, it did mask the formaldehyde smell. And I had a lot of nausea in my fir
