I'm going to TTC this Jan, my OH wants to wait until we move before I become pregnant, he's high anxiety and thinks it will be the worst thing in the world to move whilst pregnant or move after I have the baby. (He thought we'd have moved by Jan which is why he agreed a year ago that Jan we could TTC).
He's very rigid in his ways, like if I sprung on him "we're going to the cinema after work" he'd have a melt down as he wasn't expecting it. But after he went to the cinema and realised the world wasn't falling apart, he's absolutely fine and happy. (He might even be just on the spectrum or just have anxiety issues, I haven't worked out!)
My opinion: we've been together for 6 years, it's been difficult trying to sell our house as we've had to fix several things up this past year. We are emotionally, financially and excitedly ready for a new child I've been preparing for Jan and have built myself up as that's when we're conceiving. We have enough bedrooms here if worst comes to worse and we haven't moved in time (very unlikely!!). The only thing my partner is against is TTC before we move.
He's heard people say "the most stressful thing in life is moving and having a baby" and believes our world will crumble if we try and do both.
I just can't wait any longer! I want to start trying in Jan in the hope of having DC near Christmas so they won't be the youngest of the year but I also want him to enjoy the pregnancy and not be anxious the whole time!
Has anyone moved whilst pregnant? Was it as bad as you'd imagined?
Is it too far to just TTC and then reassure him afterwards?! (I know he'll be absolutely fine when DC would be born and the world hasn't burst into flames like he feared). It's just his anxiety before hand.
Just wanted to share and see what others thought?
