Mothers who need to be physically fit for their jobs?

Question

Would you reccomend having kids before or after you started your career?

I want to be in Law Enforcement after I finish school. Should I finish, then have a kid and then get back into shape or should I get in for a bit, then take maternity leave and get back into shape?

I just don't want to be forgotten once I get in, but I also don't want to wait until I have a couple of kids, then get fit again and apply..Which do you think is better? What did you do?

Also, if I wait to have the baby and then try out, it'll be at least 6wks of training in another state..leaving hubby behind to care for baby by himself..

Answer 1

as a career criminal I think you should have a child when you want to have one

but if you do become good at your job and then decide to have a kid

Ned or Kray are very good names

Answer 2

I would get the job first and then have the baby.  You would be able to concentrate more on what you need to do in order to get in before you have a child.  

If you are careful during the pregnancy, you can gain a healthy amount of weight that shouldn't be too hard to lose.
