I think it's good to try both, and not limit yourself. My mother was a stay at home mom for most of my life, but at different points she rejoned the workforce for her own reasons. It was good to have her as a rolemodel - she was an excellent stay-at-home mom and an excellent worker (BA in History, certed as a respitory tech, worked at 2 different schools, a hospital, and became a travel agent while I was a kid.).
As for myself, I've got to finish college, regardless of the baby that's on the way. So I'm going to be doing night classes only for a while, but I hardly consider that "working" - I like school. But the field I'm going into (high school education - hoping to teach History (my major), or Comp Sci, anything but English because I can't spell worth a damn) I think has a pretty kid-friendly schedule, so once I'm out of school, things will be better. In the end though, I plan on working, not staying at home.
