Your sentence sounds great. Another way to say it is...
After giving birth and bringing up children, women find themselves at a disadvantage when returning to work and getting promoted.
Your sentence claims parenting is to blame. Mine strongly implies it, but doesn't go so far as to make the causal connection.

Women who give birth and raise children are at a disadvantage when they want to return to work or get a promotion, as it is harder for them.
I don't know if that helps :)
