Take ten women

Ten women, ten different lives. iVillage hears what each woman has to say about her career, motherhood and the choices she's made

				Donna, 33: "I thought I'd be happily married and have 2.4 kids by the time I was 25, but life hasn't worked out this way"
				Dee, 39: "Kids were never on my 'to do' list and for some reason this seems to really bother some people"
				Mel, 33: "I feel as though I'm constantly asking my Mum for help, and get the impression that she wonders why I really have to work"
				Jennifer, 30: "Anyone who works and has children knows it's a juggling act"
				Penelope, 29: "Each to their own, and my choice was to be at home with my children"
				Katie, 23: "The game plan is to work for a year or two and then try for a baby"
				Iona, 22: "I will try everything I can to conceive, even if it means volunteering for medical experimentation"
				Nesta, 30 : "I do really want to have children because I believe that it's what we're made to do. Unfortunately, I'm not doing it yet"
				Emma, 38: "It was just impossible to juggle a busy and demanding career with children"
				Katie, 31: "I work to live, not the other way around like before"
