Considering that the major fear of all faculty committees is that their female students will get pregnant and no longer be interested in doing academic work, including that might not be such a good idea.
Also, is the first year of a new job really any less demanding than the last year of a dissertation? I would think that having children as you're finishing one major life step might be easier than when you're starting another.
