I’m an incoming 1L (Canadian), and my spouse and I are seriously contemplating having a baby in the spring/summer before 2L (conceiving this Fall, basically).

I’ll be 28 this fall, and my partner is 33. I’m not keen on the idea of waiting until I’m established due to our ages but more so because we would like more than one child, so we’d like to get started.

My partner is incredibly supportive and would utilize his paternity leave, being home with the baby for almost the entirety of 2L. We do have family a few hours away who could potentially come stay with us, as well.

We are pretty set on this idea, especially as we have witnessed loved ones struggle with infertility/conceiving issues. We know that there is no best time.

I’d really appreciate hearing other parents stories of making it through law school successfully with babies or any advice on how to navigate being pregnant during law school. Any success stories of being a high achieving/involved student while also navigating new parenthood?

Thank you in advance!

I am in the process of doing a Compulsory Medical Occupational Transfer (CMOT) from my current trade to SIGINT.

The process might be long, with the Top Security clearance and all that, so, being currently posted in Saskatchewan, I am also requesting an attached posting to Ottawa. It is where I would like to be posted after I complete my training. It would also allow me to go live with my wife who is starting school at the university of Ottawa in September.

My question is: is there any way I can get my move paid by the Forces? My BPSO says its highly unlikely, but I thought I'd ask anyways.

They would pay for the move once I get qualified, can't I make any sort of deal where they pay for it pre-emptively? What if I say I’ll pay it back if I fail the course or something?
