Hello Aspirant!

Of course having children during residency is not easy or without problems. Gender plays a large role. Women who have a child during their post graduate 1 – 3 years report they are more likely to feel overwhelmed than female residents who do not have children.  Both male and female surgical residents with children are more likely to report that their work hours create family strain.

Interestingly, surgical residents with children are more likely to look forward to work and more likely to be happy at work than those without children according to various stats. But became their life more difficult than earlier.

We cannot ignore the reality that surgery residents as well as female surgeons struggle to find a work-life balance. They have to handle their baby as well as complete household chores. During their home hours husbands should help their wife and take responsibility of house works. That will comfort their surgeon wife from the stressful day of work.

Good Luck!
