Exams are hard even when you’re at your best. The bar exam to become a lawyer is one of the hardest. One woman had to take this exam while literally giving birth.

There are few things more difficult than childbirth. There are few things more difficult than becoming a lawyer.

But at least no one has to do both at the same time, right? Wrong.

Brianna Hill is an incredibly determined young woman. She studied law at Loyola University, gaining good grades.

When she got pregnant, she was still dead set on becoming a lawyer. After all, mothers all over the world work hard and have successful careers.

There was one final hurdle to becoming a lawyer: The bar exam.

Luckily, Brianna was able to arrange her bar exam early in her pregnancy. Unless something crazy happened to postpone her exam, there would be no issues with juggling her pregnancy and her career ambitions.

And then coronavirus shut everything down.

It took a while for Brianna to be able to take the bar. Eventually, her association reworked the exams, adapting them to be able to be taken at home.

So once more, Brianna prepared to take the bar. This time, she was heavily pregnant.

The remote exam was no easier than the traditional bar exam. Brianna needed to have her camera turned on. And if she left the view of the camera, the assessors would assume that she was cheating.

So Brianna sat at her computer, logged in to the exam and began the difficult final step to becoming a lawyer. And then her water broke. She had only been taking the exam for a few minutes.

“Then I stood up and realized, my water had broken.” – Brianna Hill.

Without leaving the view of the camera, Brianna sorted out the things she would need for the birth. It was unorthodox, but the exam assessors allowed Brianna to call her husband and midwife.

Then she got back to the exam, juggling serious legal topics with contractions.

Eventually, Brianna had completed the first part of the exam. She finally had the opportunity to rush to the hospital.

A few hours later, Brianna’s beautiful son came into the world.

Once she was done with childbirth, Brianna took out her laptop and logged back onto the bar exam website. She took the second part of the exam from her hospital bed.

When she finished, she felt a huge surge of pride. Who else had given birth while taking the bar?

Brianna will have to wait until December 2020 to discover whether or not she passed the bar.

Hopefully, she will achieve her dream of becoming a lawyer. Despite the result, her story is incredible.

Hopefully, stories like Brianna’s will help to end the stigma that young mothers in the workforce face.

Technically, employers in the USA cannot discriminate against pregnant women. But sadly, it still happens far too frequently.

Brianna shows how pregnant women and young mothers truly get by in the world of work.

They don’t let their personal circumstances get in the way of their careers. In fact, they’ll literally work from their hospital beds just after experiencing the most severe pain known to humanity.
