Will be my first baby. So many factors to consider... I'm overwhelmed. I'm 29yo and planning on having my first when I'm 30.
I was told the best thing is to keep baby inside until after auditions/interviews are done. I want to do about 5 audition rotations and with either plan, will be pregnant during auditions and interviews.
1. How do you travel to auditions and also do all your OB appointments? Do women just go to a different OB for their appointment (whichever city they're in)? If so, then I need good insurance. As far as medical care and traveling, what else should I be prepared for?
2. What if I don't get pregnant in time & baby ends up being timed to come during intern year... but FMLA doesn't apply until 12 months in. What do people do then?
3. I don't want to be pregnant for interviews but I think it'll be easier to do auditions/interviews with baby inside, rather than sleep deprived new mom (I think?). I'll be applying for FM so am hoping being pregnant for interviews will be okay. Thoughts?
4. What about travel restrictions after 37 weeks from airlines? Do women just use alternative ways to travel like train? Or can you get a waiver from your doc to fly? How dangerous is it to the baby?
5. Do I tell my 4th year preceptors (whether an audition or just an elective rotation) if I'm prego?
Any other advice for me or anything else I should mentally prepare for?
