I want a baby NOW..jealousy

Everyone is pregnant. I swear every single young woman I run into and sooo many of my friends. I never felt jealous before my baby when I saw pregnant women, but all of a sudden I am green with envy.

The thing is, my son was a small miracle. I have endo, and was told my chances to get pg naturally were very low. My hubby and I decided to forgo the birth control right around our wedding, figuring a miracle would never happen. I got pregnant the first time we did it off birth control.

Since the baby I have had no regrowth. My ob says if I want another one, now would be my best chance.

The thing is there is no way we can afford it. I work full time and because my husband owns his own business, I carry the health insurance. If I was to get pregagnt now I would have no maternity leave built up. It just makes me so sad that I may never have another baby simply because of our financial situation. But with the economy the way it is and my husband being a general contractor, there is so much uncertainty. can't I just win the lottery?

ok, vent over. I am feeling sad.

    Thank you for being smart about your situation and not just having a baby b/c your emotions and hormones tell you to. It's tough, but it's the smart thing.

    Thank you for saying that. I don't know how people don't get smart about such a big decision. I feel awful about not being able to have another child for the next few years. But deep down I know I'd feel so much worse if I put our security in jeapordy for my own selfish want..

    We will not be having a baby for at least 3 more years and that is for financial reasons. Just try to focus on the joy your baby brings you now!
