I have 3 dcs - 13, 10 and 1. I'm 39. Dh is sahd. I work full time equivalent in 3 jobs - as secure as anything can be these days. Good income. I never planned to work full time but circumstances led us to this point. Basically we bought a lovely house at the top of our budget, bit of a project, pre credit crunch, based on my part time income and dh's lovely new job. But his job turned into a nightmare, he had a breakdown, spent 18 months mostly in hospital and due to job being new got feck all sick pay... Transpires he has bipolar and now hasn't worked in 5+ years. May never work again. But meh. We don't need him to.
That nightmare period caused all sorts of financial ructions though. Would have liked to move to clear things but by the time the project was saleable, the property market had died. Developed a plan B to clear all debt and get sorted. Delayed a bit by having dd2 but she was so worth it. She has always felt like my reward for the bad times. We will be sorted completely by next summer. Maybe sooner.
So the injection planned for tomorrow - both me and dh want a dc4. Money the obvious reason to wait. Also I'm dieting/ exercising and a few months from target. Pregnancy with dd2 was rubbish - maybe in part due to me being so fat but no guarantees another pg would be better (been sick with all 3 but much worse with dd2). By getting to healthy BMI I make any future pg more likely to be healthy/bearable etc
But I'm getting older and the risk of delayed return to fertility with injection is a concern. Am still bf dd2 who co-sleeps so not much dtd anyway but only takes one... Could just not have the jab and probably won't get pg for ages...
So iabu but
