AIBU to start trying for a baby the day I start a new job!

Can’t work out if I’m being unfair or not?

DH and I have agreed we want a second baby . DH and I are not getting any younger and all we want is another baby .

I am starting a job share in September. I interviewed In March and it seemed fine and I am looking forward to it .

In my head I told myself I would not start TTC until January so at the minimum I would have been there 5 months before I conceived . This would allow me time to get stuck in. It might take me months if not years to conceive .

I can’t stop obsessing about a baby. I want to do it asap . I have done the sums and we can do it . But I’m sure my employers won’t be impressed if after 3/ 4 months I tell them I am pregnant !?!?

I don’t know . Am I taking the piss?! If want to return to work once the baby was9 months . I know I am a good worker . I however know I will not be on full form whilst pregnant .

I know I need to be employed 26 weeks before baby is born .

AIBU?

@Eixample that’s not how any maternity policy works it’s always worked from the due week (Sunday before the EDD) not when the baby is actually born 🤦🏻‍♀️

Only going on what the OP wrote about her own situation rather than assuming I know everything about everything
