<p>I know some students who are working on their PhD’s who had babies last year…
There was also someone else I knew who had a baby one month prior to receiving her PhD.
A majority of the professors I’ve taken classes from were married and had kids. I don’t think it really caused any great problems for them with their jobs in academia. Of course I don’t know all the details about how they managed it. They probably had good time managing skills, for one thing.</p>
