Needing some advice ladies..

I recently got married and our plan was always to have a baby once we got married. We both a children from our previous marriages, (I have 2 and he has 1). Anyway we are in a housing association house which is 3 bedrooms (2 double and 1 very small). If we were to have another child it would be extremely cramped. We are desperately trying to save our deposit to buy. Do we wait until we have managed to buy or do we go ahead and have a baby. We are both worried about our ages and don't want to feel too old or have too big an age gap between baby and our kids (who are already 10, 8 and 7). It's so difficult knowing what to do for the best. Any advice would be greatly appreciated x

I would not call that cramped at all.

Only have another baby once you can afford to support every child and house them in the correct size accommodation.

It would be pretty cramped as the one of the kids rooms is very small and will not fit another bed/cot. The other room has to children already and our room would fit a cot but be extremely tight. 🤦‍♀️

I do think securing the correct property first would be your best bet. It’ll be so much more difficult to buy once you have the added expense of another child. Good luck!
