I'm 41 and ttc#2. I've lost 2 babies in the last 2 yrs; one an mc and the other was a pregnancy I ended due to an abnormality. Both absolutely awful. I'm freelance and generally enjoy my job. I work mainly from home. However, its an all consuming job and although I had planned to do 3 days a week, its turns into full time when my project is in full swing. It has been suggested, as I'm no spring chicken, that I give up work - for the next year or so, until I hopefully get pregnant - to solely focus on this. I could do this. Financially it'll be way harder, and I'm bound to get really bored - but would it help me as I'm clearly time-restricted? I'm so torn. I just want to get pregnant, but I think putting all that pressure on just this thing could be counterproductive. The last 2 times I got pregnant, I was wokring. But I was also younger. The stress/tiredness does get to me more now, and I know it affects me. Have you been in this situation? I know not everyone has this choice, but WWYD?
