TTC & Job/Career Motivation

[Pempink]

Hi all,

I would appreciate some thoughts on my situation, as my husband and I are trying for a baby and initially it took 16 months however this resulted in a miscarriage at 7 weeks. Since then it has been 7 months of trying to concieve again.

I feel quite exhausted at this long process and at the same as this I am finding myself losing motivation and passion in my stressful job and having to think about careers. I feel like my top want in life has become about really wanting to start a family and I feel like I really couldnt care less about interviews and having to think about career progression etc other than needing it financially.

Not sure if I am rambling just feel a bit hopeless at the moment...but any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

You're at a really important time for your career.

Being in a good job will be so helpful both for you and your baby - not just the money, but flexibility too. It's not always the case but often the more senior and established you are the easier it is to be flexible.

It's tonnes easier to focus on a new job or a promotion now than when you have a baby, so I say go for it! If you need the motivation, remember that this is for your future baby not just you.

Good luck!
