I’m 27 years old and I’ve been with my partner for 11 years, we’ve been engaged 18 months with no plans set in stone for a wedding. Over the past 6 months I’ve become increasingly broody, we have 2 nieces and whenever I see them I just get a feeling of broodiness inside. I fell pregnant back in 2015 and had a termination as at the time we weren’t ready as a couple and we weren’t finically stable. It devastated me at the time and I did feel like for a few months after did we do the right thing - looking back now we did. Anyway until recently we still haven’t been in the position to try, my concern is my job at the moment, do I hold off trying for a baby and find a new job and then try once I’ve been there 6 months or do we ttc now. I’m just not sure if I’d want to go back to my current job after having a baby. I know this might seem trivia to some people but I suffer from anxiety and I always have to think of possible situations. Does anyone have any experiences like this, has anyone not gone back to work and found a new job fairly quickly? Have people found the job first then waited for a baby? The other thing is we’re engaged and have been thinking about eloping to get married next summer. I know the logical thing would be to wait ttc but I’m thinking about babies everyday and this has never happened before. I haven’t got anyone around my to speak to about this as none of my friends have children.
