Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast. Today we're talking to Jennifer Warren about the realities of motherhood, and parenthood in general, in the legal profession.

In this episode we discuss:

How you know it is the “right” time for children
What to consider about your job and career when thinking about having children
How to balance your life and job with the physical reality of being pregnant
When to tell your coworkers and boss that you’re pregnant
How to plan for your parental leave and childcare
How social media can be a game changer for finding information and support as a new mom
Pumping, bottle-feeding, and why feeding your baby isn’t always as simple as it seems
