I really really really want another baby!!!

I really want to ttc, but it is not the right time. My brain knows that. I've only just started a new job, we can't afford it, DS is only 17 months old, DH doesn't want to yet, we only moved house 2 months ago and haven't settled yet, i'm still not 100% over my PND from last time and the emotional turmoil would kill me and we defo can't afford it (so much I need to remind myself twice). sigh But my body keeps getting squishy and soft in the middle and i'm so jealous of pg people it's unreal.

No advice, just sympathy and tea
I've been desperate to start trying for about 8 months now, but I'm in the process of a large family move and career change and it's just an impossible time
We'll get there though, maybe we'll bump into each other on a pregnancy thread one day

hopefully scented until then and

Completely understand Joanne but me and DH ended up sitting down a few months ago and decided that it's never the right time (DS was unplanned and everything has worked out fine there) but we needed to sell the house before TTC #2, and needed more money. We ended up saying sod-it and started TTC 33 months ago. Not pregnant yet, but strangely enough in those 3 months our house has sold (been on the market for over a year) and new house will have cheaper mortgage payments so looks like when it happens for us things will be ok after all!

I'm a big believer in things happening at the right time and for a reason, maybe put some energy into trying to change things to see what you would actually need in order to get into a situation where you can TTC :)

oops, 33 months ago, not 33!!!

Argh, stupid keyboard... THREE

lol at your keyboard!

I know we need to sit down and have a chat about it, but realistically what I need is for DH to look for a better job. But he is being lazy about it as bloody usual! We are working towards it, but my biological clock is ticking. My DS wasn't entirely planned either and we had to borrow money for ML from DH's dad (which I know we were really lucky to even have that option) but DH doesn't want to do it again and wants to pay it back and save before we TTC again. but at 33 I don't have that many more years to spare. It's just frustrating! I know there isn't really an ideal time, but now really isn't the right time regardless of how much I want it to be.
