It's a huge benefit. Currently pregnant and working in web development: working from home and part time are absolutely crucial to keeping me in the work force. Don't get me wrong I love my job and wouldn't want to give it up but there's no way I could breastfeed, raise a child and work full time in an office environment for the next year. Babies eat once every 2-3 hours! It's just not feasible. Then after a year off, skills would slide since things move so quickly in this industry and I'd be far behind where I was.

Working from home with the option for part time is the bees knees. I can keep up my skills and do motherly things as well, and just take a pay cut (from the hours) for a year .
