Interesting. Back in the bad old days of absolute Consultant rule of appointments in the 60's a young specialist trainee (married, respectable), accidentally became pregnant,
When she told her Consultant, he said, "Well, my dear, you have two choices".
When she asked what these were, he replied curtly, "Resign or have a termination".
She had a termination. Brutal.
Bad old days. One of my trainees had TWO children during her training which added a year to her normal five.
She took two months off for each child. Pretty tough on her colleagues who had to cover, but hey...
