Hi All,
So I am meant to be leading a trek in the arctic circle this summer and hence thought I would start trying after this about Christmas time. However, I applied for a job starting in september (I am a teacher) but have been told that they really want me but had to choose someone who could offer hockey. However as they were impressed with me, they want to offer me a job for 18months time, the following september (2019) once one of the teachers has retired. I really want this job and want to work for that school. Therefore I don't know if to start trying now and see if I can get pregnant in the next few months, taking maternity between feb 2019 and september 2019. Or wait until I have started my new job in september 2019 and try around Christmas time then! I don't want to have to ring my new school up and say I cant start in september 2019 as I have just had a baby, or start there pregnant - hence do I try for first asap and have one before I start (but would lose some maternity pay with not going back to current employer, and max maternity leave I could take would be 7months), or wait till I have started new job in sept 2019! I am 31 (birthday in November) now so would be 32 when I start my new job in september 2019, and so would potentially get pregnant at start of being 33 and give birth to first at 33/34. Would like two if preferable, so second would prob be around 36/37! What are peoples thoughts?!
