I would suggest starting the process because you can always choose to stay. I lateraled at 6 months pregnant. Started the process of looking before I knew I was pregnant, but was generally planning on conceiving. It’s obviously not the easiest transition because it’s actually a double transition (pre-leave and post-leave). The process was pretty illuminating for me. When I was discussing the offer from my new firm, they were so supportive and helpful re my pregnancy that it made the decision super easy. My team has been great since starting and it cemented that I made the right choice. I was fully prepared to stay where I was, even though I didn’t love it, rather than go somewhere that wasn’t going to be welcoming.
How old are you and how many kids do you want? I was in a similar position as a fifth year, switched firms and delayed IVF thinking that I couldn’t pass up the job opportunity, and the firm I went to was terrible. I had to switch jobs again and then start ivf. Overall it was a 2 year delay, and I had my first (and current only) at 32 instead of 30.

I had my first and only at 34. It is exhausting being an older parent while working a law job. My body just cannot keep up with super sporty activities. Also, I am generally more tired than I was even in my late 20s.
On the flip side, I am much more chill now. Even with this being my first, I don’t freak out over things I know I would have freaked out over if I was younger when I had my son. So, there are positives and negatives to having kids at any age.
I was a contract worker and was offered a full time employee position when I had just learned I was pregnant. I disclosed that I was pregnant before accepting the offer and negotiated three weeks of paid time off as part of my salary negotiations because I was our primary breadwinner and we couldn’t afford for me to miss any weeks of pay.
