Right, my DP has said he wants to wait till after I graduate but;
Reasons for;
-another baby wouldn't actually cost us much money, as we already have all the stuff and we're just at the age with Dd1 (15months) where we're deciding what to get rid of, so it would be better to decide now to have another
-University will be far more understanding (with extenuating circumstances and that) then work, and once I graduate I'll be able to earn so much more then now it seems daft to leave all the time off till then
-we would actually get a bit more in tax credits and all that, which would easily cover the cost of any extra stuff we'd need
-my mental health is much better now, but I'm still under the care of a specialist team who would give me excellent support through another pregancy and postnatal period. If I leave it a few years I would be back to relying on the much inferior support of my gp and the overworked community mental nurses if I relapsed.
-I'm a bit overweight at the moment, which would mean I would be less likely to get malnutrition from morning sickness like I did last time
-If we time it right, getting pregnant around september or october, the baby would come at the beginning of the long summer break, which would give me 4 months off uni when the new baby comes which I'd be not doing much in anyway. surely better than taking time off the paid job which is my goal eventually anyway.
-I'm pretty sure I want to do a postgrad course after my degree (I'm at the end of first year now) so if we carry on waiting till I finish uni, dd1 will be 5 or 6 before we have another, and I'm really keen on a small age gap.
SHould I have a word with DP, or am I just being broody and daft?
