Pregnancy As An Escape Route?

Until recently, it didn't occur to me that some women actually make use of pregnancy to take a good break from work, or even as a means to change their job. I guess when work pressures get high, it may reach a point that some just start to ponder about taking a good long break or even use this as an opportunity to make a job switch. Its not a bad move actually, considering that maternity leave is up to 4 months now & women still get paid during maternity leave.

As for men, well... we get no such priviledge... but it doesn't matter to me... I don't want to go through pregnancy & its pre- and post-effects anyway!
