Husband and I have 1 DD (4.5) and decided to try for another baby, thinking it would take a while- it didn’t. I know that I am incredibly lucky for this to happen so please don’t judge me! I have worked out a rough due date but and now worried I’ll miss out on OMP by a few days. And totally miss out if my scan suggests an earlier date which happened the first time around. I’m not sure how I missed this detail as I’d looked at the policy before. I’m now seriously fretting about being able to live whilst on Mat Leave. I’ll save what I can in the next 8 months. My husband is much more chilled and we both have good jobs so he feels confident we’ll be ok.

We have been looking to move but nothing in our area comes up in our price range, so we will most likely still be in our 2 bed. Has anyone on here made this work with their children sharing eventually? I do think my LO will absolutely love being a sibling she’s so kind and loves to help and has talked about having a brother/sister for a while.

any words of reassurance appreciated

xx

Well you don't need anywhere bigger for at least 5-10 years. Baby can be in with you for the first year and then share. So don't worry about moving. And if you both have good jobs then just squirrel away what you can and any maternity money will be a bonus x
