Hi! First post and a bit of an ethical dilemma! I am currently in my late twenties, married (been with OH for 10years) and, as far as all my friends/family assume, completely career orientated. What they don't know is that I WAS completely career orientated up until around 3 years ago when I became EXTREMELY broody while in the middle of some pretty difficult professional qualifications (so we waited and didnt act on the feelings). My OH shares in the broody craziness and would absolutely adore a baby of our own right about now but is also very supportive of me and my career aspirations up until this point (he's basically a good guy 
).
I am very happy with our life in a lot of respects. We both spent our twenties working towards various career goals and are lucky enough to own a three bedroomed house with a very managable mortgage close to both our families. We both have good incomes atm (not rolling in it but able to save quite a bit etc at present) and we can comfortably cover our costs on OH wage alone, for which I feel fortunate.
I am very lucky (with the state of the economy) to be currently employed in a temporary post in the field I have trained for - well at least I should feel lucky - but I am ashamed to admit I don't 
. This is my second temporary contract (common in my field) and maternity leave/pay etc are not an issue. What is an issue is that certain aspects of my job are not 'pregnancy friendly' in the slightest - indeed cover would be required for some of my role if I was to ttc now which wouldnt necessarily be a massive problem but obviously complicates things for my employer.
I am soooo broody it physically hurts at the moment and I am sooo jealous when people around me announce they are expecting though I (hope!) I hide it well. It is making me feel very sad like something is missing from our lives and a little resentful of my current role tbh. I feel like we have already put our lives on hold for the last few years in this respect and now something else has come up and that there is great potential for something else to always come up and for there to never be the perfect time to have a family which is the one thing we both want more than anything. I enjoy working but I definately do not feel the same about it as I used to as I keep thinking how sad it would be if that was all I had in my life . This is a complete turn around from my teens/early twenties when I was adamant I would never have children 
. To that end I am honestly considering just saying stuff it and going for it (starting to ttc) as both of us have various health issues which may or may not impact on fertility and I realise it could take a long time potentially.
To put it in context I have never been 'that' sort of person - I am far from rebellious and am definately a people pleaser. I tend to be the sort to say yes to everything no matter how difficult/the cost to myself etc - not because I'm selfless - more to do with self confidence issues!
So wise mumsnetters - I await your advice/shaking some sense into me! (please be gentle! 
)
