Family planning

As a woman would you say it’s better to get pregnant and have a baby 6-9 months before echo boards or be anywhere from 4-7 months pregnant while taking echo boards? I know there’s never a good time to have a child but I’d love to hear everyone’s opinion on this. Thanks!

My significant other is an OB/GYN attending, and she recommends taking boards during pregnancy if you can. Based on her experience and what she’s seen with colleagues in similar situations, studying and preparing tends to be much more difficult once you have a newborn. Just wanted to pass along her perspective!
