Split decision: When career gets in the way of a family

Career Tips
 For some women it is either they choose their careers or family but not both (Photo: Courtesy) 

Dr Evelyn Kwame’s career kicked off with long, arduous, and intense commitments of medical school, residency, and fellowship. Kwame planned her life logically and enacted her plans rationally. She now boasts of a long-desired and fulfilling career.

However, like many women in cut-throat industries, where the culture presents women with strictly two alternatives: Giving up one thing, so they can be perfect in the other, she failed to factor in time for the unexpected.

For Kwame, the unexpected came in the form of consequences from delayed childbearing. She had felt immune to failure at childbearing as if the possibilities of infertility and loss did not apply to her.
