Just wanted to get some general Advice from people.
I have a 2 year old already and I always wanted to have another baby close in age as I had a big gap between me and my sibling and tbh we don’t have a strong relationship, we get on well but not the kind of relationship I see other siblings having and would want for my youngest
Anyways we had planned on trying earlier this year and then covid happened and I got scared and put off trying as it was all so new and no one really knew what was going to happen
I am now in the process of being made redundant, but we still really want a baby, if we concieve straight away ( if we’re lucky) I could apply for maternity allowance I believe. my husbands wages could pay for the bills but it would mean we won’t have some of the luxuries we have atm which i’m fine with for myself but wouldn’t my DD to miss out, and I won’t have any disposable income and this is the part that is really stopping me, I would hate to rely on my husband for money
The question is, do we just go for it and hope things fall into place as there is never a right time or for me to try and find a job and be able to save a bit of money which could potentially mean a 4 year gap between kids (me being 37/38 by that point)
Anyone been in a similar situation?
