^^I think that she mentions the stepping specifically because of the physical rigor of the activity, which might impact a pregnancy; not because stepping is the central focus of being in an organization.
I don't know where I fall on this question. I was recently talking to a cousin who, once upon a time, had organizational aspirations. She has two small children (under 5) and she was saying that it was too late for her. While I don't think that it is too late--I had linesisters in their 50s and 60s--I do know that if I were in her place, I wouldn't try to pledge right now. The time commitment of being new to an organization (let alone an MIP) would have been something that I would not have wanted to take on with two young children and certainly not with a new born. But that is my personal preference.
I might add more later. I have been thinking about this question since this thread reappeared.
