Wanting to start family

[Beaverfeaver]

My and DH are 27, have lived in our house together for 3 years now.
I want to start a family soon (preferably start trying in about 6 months time)

However, DH and I have decided next year we will move to bigger house, and he thinks we should wait so that we have more space for when babies arrive.

My thoughts is that when you start putting off starting a family for things like this, it could be never ending (sale falling through/unexpected redundancy/other tragedies)

He has always been a sensible thinker and taken time to decide things.

Has anyone been in same position and how did it work out?

We waited until we were in a family house, but then we were also lucky that it took no time to ttc as we were much older than you.

Given how hard moving with a baby would be, and that you have plenty of time on your side, I would wait tbh. Depends on how certain you are that you are going to move next year. No harm in compromising - ie decide when you're going to move, and start ttc a couple of months beforehand.

Seems sensible I guess.

My concern is that I believe we will be better suited to living in our current house with baby and that we could easily be here another 3 years or so.

I suppose it depends on when he thinks the move can be achieved. If it's 3 years, as you say, then it does seem a bit like an indefinite put-off. In which case you need to talk to him about whether there are any other barriers (he might be having cold feet as the reality of actually DTD approaches - this is quite common and should be easily surmountable; if a bigger problem, the sooner you find out, the better).

If you can indeed fit one child into your existing place, yen it is more likely to be nerves than logistics.

If it's "start house-hunting now, and see how it all looks in 6 months time", then he's being reasonable. And if you find a house in that time, waiting until he move is completed would be OK (as it is still definite timetable and not too far from your current thinking).
