Hello everybody, I wonder if you can offer some thoughts/reassurance. I have also posted in pregnancy as I have just found out that I am pregnant with my third DC. I am terrified for very many reasons, but one of them is the potential for colleagues to think I have basically signed out of my career on this basis. In academia, I tend to think that one child is seen as OK, two a little excessive, and three ... well, that's extraordinary. (this obviously only applies to women). But practically, the pace of my career has been pretty glacial until now. I guess now it will be even worse, although I intend to take a relatively short break (and try to continue to write during that time, have been able to do that previously) and will continue to work full time when I go back. Oh God. Is this going to be OK? Anyone else got three and kept on going?
