Trying for a baby even though Ds wants his bedroom back

Ds moved out a couple of years ago and we discussed having another baby, we only have a 2 bed and with him moving out we decided to try.

I am so time is running out for me.
Ds has asked if he can move back home for a while which of course he will be but aibu to continue to try for a baby with a view to baby eventually having his bedroom or to leave it now as he's back in his room and we have no idea how long he needs to get back on his feet but that will probably mean we have no time in the future to have another.

You cannot let him as an adult dictate your life and keep him room just to keep others happy. If you want another child you have one. He will have enough notice with 9 months pregnancy and baby would I would assume be with you for a while as well so not like you would be kicking him out tomorrow!

Wow a planned 24 year age gap! Good luck!

If you want another baby then TTC.

Its going to be a couple of years before there’s any issues of needing more room as the baby will sleep in your room for a while.

DS will probably be ready to move back out by that time.

I think you’re absolutely mad to have another baby after 24 years though!

I love my DC but I’m looking forward to being my own individual person again 😁
