So I am in the very happy position that I just got the promotion I was hoping for at work which will be great for my career and family. While I am super excited, it does mean that we will have to push TTC until next April which I am less excited about (we previously planned for December). We are super busy during the holiday season at my job and I'll now be running a team of 70 people so there is no way I can go on maternity leave at that time next year.
I know it's only 4-5 months and I know it's the rational thing to do but waiting is already. So. Hard!!!!
Sorry for my vent. Has anyone else had to postpone?

Sorry you have all had to postpone too (I feel a little whiny about a few months compared to some if the timelines you all mentioned) but it's nice to have someone to commiserate with!
@baker+RN I'm so sorry you are dealing with all that! People definitely don't think before they speak. Hugs to you!
We'll all get there before we know it and long back for the days where we could drink wine and didn't have to pee every five minutes.
Hope that the wait goes fast, but is also a good time for you.
Your post got me thinking about timing my maternity leave. I work at a tiny nonprofit, no FMLA, so whenever I have to be out it will be tough, but I should probably especially avoid Feb-May due dates. So, I'm not postponing but may need to pause after a few months of trying to make sure I have a job to go back to.
It's a boy!
