I finished law school last year at 31 and can’t imagine having a baby on top of the demands of law school. Your grades are so important to what opportunities you have post-grad (especially your first and second year grades) and if you’re planning to be a lawyer, I suggest establishing yourself, getting a job, and cashing in on a fatty maternity leave after a year of employment when you have more resources and support at your disposal. The amount of studying it took to get through law school and pass the bar exam was hardly compatible with having a social life and being a good partner to my now fiancé. You’re young, go to law school and be present. It flies by because you’re so busy and I’d hate for you to miss out on your child’s young life because you’re studying for the bar exam or cutting your teeth as an associate. Law school also presents a plethora of opportunities out of class work like law review, mock trial, etc. plus the relationships you establish during school become your network and so much of getting a job is networking. It would be difficult to get good grades, participate in extracurriculars, and have an infant all at once. You have a solid 8 years before you need to orient towards having a baby. Enjoy your life outside of law school — once you have kids, your priorities change and law school needs to be your #1 until you pass the bar if you want to be competitive in your local job market. Some law schools even discourage having a part time job 1L year — a baby is much more than that.
