*sigh* It just gets me where she's thinking about Malcolm.
I see what you are saying however think of it this way.
Hoshi is in job that is basically a form of the military.....and while it may seem a bit irresponsible for her to volunteer for the mission...she also knows the risks.
Having a kid doesn't bar you from combat.
And unless StarFleet allows a discharge due to pregnancy she would have been stuck.
In today's military a single parent always has a guardian named in case something happens to them. I doubt StarFleet is different in that regard.
I also think she would do everything in her power to protect her child....if that included volunteering for a mission than so be it.
Just my thoughts on the matter.
