Anyone else worried about having a second baby - economy/job worries etc?

[LittleGreenBean]

I have a 23 month DS and really would like to have another baby but feel quite torn at the moment. I started a new job in April on a three year contract with a local government organisation (from another council).
My problem is partly that I feel guilty about knowingly getting pregnant when I?m on a limited length contract (and there's so much to do in my job I will realistically not be able to do everything I would like to during three years) but I don't want to wait too long. I'm also unsure about getting pregnant while I?m waiting to find out whether my job is actually secure for the three year period...which I won't find out 'till Christmas time. On the other hand, I may actually be more secure in a way if I am pregnant as my employer may be obliged to ensure i have a job to return to - dilemma! Is anyone else feeling similar things/ any advice / comments out there?

I haven't really got any advice but didn't want you not to get a reply, IYSWIM.

I doubt that there's ever a 'perfect' or 'ideal' time to have a baby. How old are you? Can you afford (in financial and/or biological clock sense) to defer any decision for a year or so? By then, your work situation might have become clearer (either way).

Maybe you'd get more replies if you posted in 'pregnancy'?

I was going to say that this is not really an issue about whether to stick at one child.

I think this post is on the wrong board too.
