ideal time to have babies??

Hi
Ok, i was wondering if someone could help answer a few of my questions as i am seriously stressing out......
i was wondering about when the best time to have a baby would be? i have applied to graduate entry medicine and i am 21, which i know isnt exactly old but i dont want to leave it too late and lose my chance. i guess i want to know is it easy to take time out after degree before foundations 1 and 2? and also has anyone had any experience of being pregnant during med school? i dont want to wait the 8 or so years before im trained as a G.P before having a baby but is there really a realistic choice that isnt going to mean i dont get to spend any time with it??
i keep telling myself that as the training is so long they must be understanding about having some time off for having a baby but i would love for someone to tell me this is the case for sure......
please give me some advice cos i know it is silly being so worried about it when i havent even been accepted yet but i like to plan things, i dont like not knowing where my life is heading

thank you
