Hi everyone. I’m a Biotechnology graduate currently weighing up medicine or midwifery or maybe even staying in biotech. I’ve seen a lot of conflicting opinions on the reality of medicine and would really appreciate some honest advice.

I would like children in the future and to be as present in their lives as possible, are there any specialties that offer good work-life balance and is it possible to truly balance motherhood with medicine?

If you could go back to the start and choose a path like midwifery instead would you? Why or why not?
If you would have done something else, what would you have done?

Would you genuinely recommend medicine as a career?
