Is there a way through this?

[kindwordsneeded]

I'm feeling so sad and anxious. I'm just miserable. I have just turned 38. Been with DH almost 3 years. Want to start trying for a baby. But...DP got the news that he js facing potential redundancy. We were supposed to be on holiday atm but had to cancel because of this. He is trying his best to stay positive but he's obviously anxious and his mood gets low and he keeps beating himself up, wishing he'd tried to move jobs sooner etc. I'm sure the redundancy process will go on for a while so the next few months will be full of uncertainty. Even longer if he is made redundant and has to find another job. I'm being supportive and reassuring but inside I'm terrified. I'm so scared that I will miss my opportunity to have a family. I don't have the luxury of time and it might be a year before things are stable and it would be sensible to start trying.

If you want to have kids you need to start trying now. Odds already aren't brilliant. Sorry for being bleak, but if this is something you want it needs to be addressed now. Wishing you good luck.

Why did you have to cancel the holiday because of a potential redundancy??

And yes - if you want a baby you need to be ttc now. Don't put it off.

Start now , it may take a year to conceive. Use ovulation kits to know exactly which days are best to especially try to conceive. Don’t waste time worrying , cross them bridges once you are pregnant.

Please don't wait any longer OP. There is never the perfect time to have a baby and tbh you could have had one this year and he'd still be made redundant.

People have a lot bigger problems than this and continue on the pregnancy journey. You are both being extremely pessimistic. It's a job, there are others. You've got to look for solutions. Definitely as others have said, try now. Good luck.

Start now dont delay, time is NEVER perfect and time is running out. And realistically until u get pregnant and give birth = months..and newborns dont need much for a start just you , so + more months. So nothing to worry just do it, wish you luck!
