Once you decide to have a child during training, a different kind of overwhelm kicks in. Leave paperwork. Finances on a resident salary. Childcare waitlists that started before you even knew you were pregnant. Call schedule negotiations nobody prepared you for.

Every piece connects to the others, and nobody gives you the full picture. This blueprint is that picture.

What's inside

  • Leave planning: how to navigate your program's policy and protect your training timeline
  • Finances: what a resident income actually supports, and how to prepare before the baby arrives
  • Childcare: what options exist, what they cost, and when to start looking
  • Making it work: scheduling, support systems, and what to expect in your first year as a trainee parent

I'm Mei Carter — physician, mom, and PGY-1 matched into diagnostic radiology. I had my son during medical school and I'm navigating intern year with a toddler right now. This blueprint is built from what I've learned — and what I'd tell my past self.
