I’m in my early twenties and breaking into my career. I’ve been in the field for a couple years and recently got an amazing remote job with a work/life balance.

Although, I think I’m pregnant now and am scared (could be false alarm, but this is something to think about). I love my job and want to continue and develop more to have a future in pentesting. I also love the potential for motherhood and am happily married. Cybersecurity was my life and “religion” for a bit because starting that out early career in CyberSecurity over IT is a challenge. The grind was real. I worked insanely hard but also was insanely lucky too.

Looking for practical advice, wisdom, etc for navigating this.
