Poll: First time Mom's

Just thought this would be a fun poll, how old are you and DH and do you plan on working after the baby is born?

Re: Poll: First time Mom's

  • DH is 26, and I'll be 26 when the baby is born. I will be working after the baby comes, but I'll be getting night work so I can stay home during the day :)

  • I'm 26...as long as baby doesn't come early I'll be 27 when the baby is born

    DH is 30 (will be 31 in feb)

    Yes I plan on working, but the baby will come to work with me until a)too mobile to be in the office with me or b) MIL moves down to us and can babysit

  • H is 28 and I will be 28 when the baby is born.

    Right now, I plan to work, but we need to work on our budget. As much as I love working and think I will need to again, I don't want to work for a paycheck that only pays for child care.

  • DH will be 26 when LO arrives. I'll be just shy of 23.

    After my 12 wk maternity leave (unpaid. have NO idea how we'll manage!), I'll have to go back to work :(

    But good news is, if both our work schedules stay the same, we'll probably only need 1 full day of day care!

  • DH and I will both be 27 when LO arrives.  I am a teacher and due in July so I will be home for about three month then I have to go back.  I try to keep reassuring myself that I will have vacations and summers off... still not thrilled... Huh?



  • I will be 28 and DH will be 29 when LO arrives.  I plan on going back to work after my maternity leave.

  • I am 25, he is 29. I will be returning to work after baby ASAP!
  • my turn :) DH will be 25 and i'll still be 23. i'm a designer so i plan to stay home and freelance on the side. yay!
  • I am 31 and DH 29-Add me to the working list as well, I will be definitely heading back to work after baby is born so have to figure out the day care situation and the expense
  • We'll both be 26 when the baby arrives. I'm a freelance photographer and don't plan on taking clients a month prior to or two months after the baby is born, maybe longer. I work from home and on location so that'll continue once baby arrives.
  • I'll be 25 and DH will be 23 (I like 'em young!).  I'll go back to work asap, but we won't need daycare as DH works evenings/nights and I work days.  Though, we might con my mom or MIL into 1 day a week or so .. just cuz!  :)
  • I'll be 23, and DH will be 26, just shy of 27. I'm currently a grad student so I'll be taking a break from that, and I was planning on quitting my part-time job by the fall anyway. Since we never have depended on my income (or lack thereof), I'll be staying at home.

  • I'm 26 (will be 27 when the baby is born), my DH is 24 (yep, he's younger - 25 by baby's arrival), I'm working now, will be working then, sadly or maybe luckily I'll have some extra time added to my summer break (I'm a teacher)...but I'm not looking forward to my students starting the year with a sub...oh well!  Life goes on!  Hoping to be able to stay home after a few years when DH finishes school.  Busy, busy times!

  • I'm 31 and DH is 42.  We're both writers with day jobs, so we'll both continue writing and hope for bigger paychecks from that.  I will definitely be keeping my day jobs since I freelance.  If we can coordinate our schedules so that we don't need daycare, DH will keep his day job; if we can't, he'll become a SAHD.
  • I'm 32 and DH is 34.  I will be going back to work after 12 weeks off.
  • DH and I are both 28. I plan on taking 3 months off work and then go back. Should be interesting. I have fairly physical job as a physical therapist and work 11am-7:30pm.
  • me - 26, dh - 27

    I am currently not working now and plan to stay home as long as possible before having to go back.

  • I am 30 and when our baby arrives my husband will be 31.  I am a teacher and my due date is late August so I am hoping that I won't have to return to work until the beginning of the 3rd marking period (mid January).  Earliest I will be back is the end of October I think.

     

  • I'm 31 and DH is 35. We both plan on working after the baby is born.

  • I'll be 26, DH = 27.

    I'll definitely be working, but I hope to work evenings so I can stay at home during the day...we'll see.  I'll be applying for a new job within the next few months.

  • I'll be 31 and DH will be 35 when the baby arrives. I'll be taking about 3-4 months off after the baby is born and then I will be returning to work less than full time until LO is 1  years old. Then I will go back to full time work.
  • We are both 23. He'll be 24 when lo arrives. And fortunatly Dh has a good job and I don't have to work. I do a little work online now an then.

    Yes, I will work....

  • I'll be 27 and DH will be 29. Currently I am a housewife so I will still be at home post baby, although my schedule will obviously change dramatically.
  • I will be 27 and DH will be 32 when baby arrives.  I am not sure if I will or will not be working after we will have to look deeper into our finances.
  • I am 35 and DH is 40.   This will be my last year to teach, so I can stay home with the baby, and hopefully have another one soon after this one is born.  I married later in life, so we got a late start.  Smile

  • I am 30, will be 31 when the baby is born, DH just turned 26. I will have to go back to work full time after the baby is born
  • I'm 28 and DH is 36.  He's in the military and we're living in Italy (meaning I already had to leave my job as a police officer back in the US), so now I'm a full time PhD student and a reserve military officer on the side (which is really flexible).  I plan on staying full time in class as well as doing some college-level teaching on the side, but I'll be home almost about 90% of the time when our little one arrives and don't plan on working full time until we return to the US in a few years.
  • Ill be 28 along with the DH when the baby is born! I plan on going back to work...but I am going to take a full 8-12wks off! Fun poll!
  • I'm 29 and DH is 32.  I had planned on working part time once the baby got here, bu tnow that it's babies we're going to play it by ear.  I think I'm going ot have to work eventually both for sanity and cashflow. Plus I kind of like my job.
