My advice to any of the young women at Facebook who are thinking about having kids or are pregnant is figure out what’s important to you. If being at a doctor’s appointment is important to you, then go. If seeing your kids in the morning is critical, then just come in late. Don’t be intimated about making decisions to make it work because I think you just have to do it. No one will tell you, ‘Here’s the path.’ You have to decide on your own what the path is and have confidence in your performance at work that you can make those choices.
