[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 117922, member: 2672"] If it helps, I have known a few trainees who fell pregnant during their TC. I also know various trainees (both male and female) who partners were pregnant during the trainees TC. It doesn’t happen a lot, but it has happened - typically it just means the route to qualification takes a little longer while you have time out on maternity/parental leave. Those trainees managed their careers and a baby. Undoubtedly it was a challenge managing both, but they did it and qualified and went on to have successful legal careers. You may want to try and connect with people who have similar experiences. This article on Legal Cheek identifies one person who will have had a similar experience: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.legalcheek.com/2021/10/i-completed-my-training-contract-remotely-while-pregnant/amp/[/URL] There is another article here (although behind a paywall): [URL]https://www.thelawyer.com/baby-training-contract/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
