I was pregnant when I gave USMLE 2, and did not pass BECAUSE I WAS NOT WELL PREPARED. I met a woman who gave all three tests during pregnancy AND PASSED THE THREE OF THEM. Bottom line, it's not about being pregnant. Once you are not nauseated anymore, the only difference will be going to the restroom between one block and the other more often then us, non-pregnant women. You can do it if you studied enough.
Congratulations on being a mother-to-be, enjoy it, wonderful things will come your way along with the baby. There's no such a experience like that. Very different from being a doctor.
