Scientists decide to become parents later and more rarely than other populations, even though their wish for children is just as pronounced. An essential reason for this is the question of how pregnancy/parenthood will affect the continuing scientific career and when or if there is a "good" time to start a family. The situation is especially challenging for pregnant scientists who work in laboratories, for scientists in third-party funded projects and for incoming scientists without the necessary care infrastructure here.
