I'm 19 weeks pregnant with our first baby, we live in a spacious one bed flat, OH thinks we need to move to a two bed flat before baby arrives (it would be a struggle financially to do it now). I think we have plenty of space to stay put for about 12 months because baby would be sleeping in our room anyway for the first 9 months or so. His concern is his sleeping pattern (paramedic - all kinds of day/evening/night shifts etc). I say at least I'll be home on mat leave for those 9 months so can look after baby in the living room, or take him/her out while OH is sleeping.
Am I being naive to think this could work? Surely plenty of people live in one bed houses/flats when they have their first baby? We are in Hertfordshire - London commuter belt. He works in north London.
