Hi Anonymous,
I completely understand your dilemma. I am 33 years old and career minded as well. From what I read above, I will make a clear assumption that you are a woman that is in control of her life. Having a child may not have been in your plans, BUT handling the situation at hand, will be difficult although, you will find a way to do it all....sort of like Super Woman syndrome.
You can still have your hopes and dreams come true to include a new baby in it. Don't be afraid of what if's.....and get the answers to your questions. Call the Human Resource Department at your new job and ask about maternity leave, plan and make the needed adjustments.
I really hope you keep in touch with us as we certainly can be a great resource for you. No matter what your decision is, there is no one to judge you and no one to tell you what to do.....do not be coerced into something that you do not agree with, only you can make YOUR decision.

Best of luck and cannot wait to hear from you again,
Missie
