So where to start... I recently had a little boy last December, he is now going on for 6 months old. Just before he was born I was redundant so have spent the majority of my maternity leave anxious about finding a new job in good time for the end of my maternity leave in September.
To add to this my and my husband to be are due to get married in September this year.
I have just found out that I am 5 weeks pregnant and I am in total shock after being on contraception! We are in a loving relationship, own a house but are only just managing to get by with me on maternity pay and partner working in retail.
It may sounds shallow but it really wasn't the plan to be pregnant on my wedding day and to have to endure another pregnancy after only just starting to truly recover!
We've sat and tried to weigh up all of the options but I'm unsure how we could afford two babies so close together and if I were to find another job would they hire me or even keep me on if they knew I was pregnant? Especially in current times where jobs are hard to come by.
The plan was to conceive in a year's time to have a big enough gap to break up child care costs, and I would hopefully be a little more established in a new job.
I'm at a complete loss I don't see how we manage with another baby and this really isn't what either of us want right now but I also hate the thought of terminating a baby and not being able to live with the consequences...
Any advice?!
