Actually, in a job interview, I'm pretty sure that it's illegal for a potential employer to ask about your plans for (more) children.

Maybe you can let them know you have all the 'babies' out of your system and won't be jumping off the partner track in 5 years to have one.

i dont think that your taking off conventional work to take on motherhood will pose a problem unless the adcoms are stupid.
