But I can't erase the desire I have to give of myself to an organization that supports the development, education, and ambitions of young women. But will I have anything left to give once the baby comes? Do I even have the right to give time to a GLO that should be given to my family? Ahhh...as you can see, this has been difficult.

You shouldn't worry about feeling that way at all! It has nothing to do w/ whether being a mother is "fulfilling" -- it has to do w/ you finding your own circle of friends and a place for you to go when you need "you time."
We have several women in our alumnae group who have just had babies that still attend everything they can. Some alumnae groups even have special interest groups for mothers, such as "Mom & Tot" events.
