So this is one of my ongoing worries. We do not have a deposit yet to be able to buy a house and DH's poor credit rating means we do not qualify for any schemes or low deposit mortgages- I have researched every possibility for buying a house and succumbed to the fact that it was going to take another 5 years at the very least for us to be in a financial situation to buy a house.
BUT in 5 years I would be in my late 30s so we obviously decided that we would ttc whilst still renting.
I am now pregnant (and thrilled after a mc and a year and a half of ttc) but it still weighs on my mind a lot that we don't own a house (and saving for a deposit is obviously now going to take even longer!) - the lack of security is a big issue (never know if the landlord will decide to sell - our years lease is up in June and haven't told landlord we're pregnant yet -want to wait til 20 week scan really), not being able to personalise the spare room/nursery, it not being our home.
I know there are bigger things to worry about (and believe me I worry about them too!) but just need some people to reassure me that having a baby in a rented house is not so bad...
