IMO when a therapist offers to provide long term regular therapy to a client they should be able to offer regularly available weekly sessions without interruption (other than emergencies or that sort of thing). I wonder if she'll be able to provide that kind of consistency and dependability to clients going forward? It will be hard if she is planning another pregnancy and then raising very young kids. But maybe she can do it? Anyway, I think your pain and concern is justified.
Thanks. I don't see how she can raise young children and be available for clients. I know I'm nothing compared to her children and they will get the attention over me. That's how it should be anyways. AND I don't know if I would have chosen her as long-term therapist if I knew there were going to be multiple children. Right now, everything in me is screaming "no"! I just don't see it working out. I just don't see "middle-path".
