Any time that you choose to carry out our project of motherhood you are going to have pros and cons. There is No perfect time for maternity/paternity goes hand in hand with doubt from the moment that we propose. If to this we add that we live in times unpredictable in where the normal is not so normal, the concern with regard to this decision becomes even more difficult.
Women in particular, we face a race against the biological clock. The perception of the company, as of ourselves, on the vital development of women, their age, their training, their professional lives and their decisions to start a family have changed a lot.
