Wrong board- ignore

Thanks.  Moving my question to a more appropriate board.

I would talk with my DH and see what he thought.  I wouldn't ask strangers.

You need to know how important it is to have insurance when having a baby.  I wouldn't risk it.

DH and I have talked about it.  I'm asking for other people's ideas in case we are overlooking something.

 yes, the insurance issue is a big one.  I would be able to find a job pretty easily, but I'm not sure how it would look to get a job only to go on maternity leave shortly thereafter.

I guess I'm just wondering if anyone has been in a situation like this.

 ETA: I am currently double covered on my insurance and DHs--so actually we wouldn't be without health insurance.  I was thinking of STD.

I would definitely wait until you are secure in your career.

There's never a "perfect" time, but I would definitely want that security before I started seriously TTC.

I think I would wait until I had a new job. June is not that far away, and I am assuiming that you can start interviewing for the new job before June. I prefer the security of a job, income, and insurance.

Thanks for the input!  You're right that June is not far away and we will definitely know what my job will be by then.
