I've recently started back at work after having my first baby.
A couple of colleagues have asked me if I want to have another one.
I told them that DH & I had no plans for another baby and that we're happy with DS.
This is a big lie (apart from the bit about being happy with DS, we're very happy to have him). DH & I both want another baby. We've stopped using contraception, although at the minute we're being fairly relaxed about it and not making a special effort to have sex on fertile days, as DS is still only just over a year old.
I don't want to tell my colleagues that we're TTC (however casually) in case it counts against me at work - say because my boss might put me last in the line for the good bits of work. And also because it's none of their business, and TTC doesn't guarantee that it'll actually happen.
But - I'm feeling guilty about lying to them. AIBU to lie to them about this?
I should mention here that I work for a large company, that has a fairly relaxed attitude towards hiring and firing contractors in my department, so it's not like they'd be hugely inconvenienced if I did go on maternity leave again.
