Oh and I have been discussing when to start trying for number 2. One minute I want to start immediately next I think it's best to wait for various reasons



1 I have/had postnatal and am still on anti depressants is it really wise to start before coming off them?

2 we only have a 2 bedroom flat and have been trying to sell but with no luck so how would I fit 2 children in flat?

3 with the money problems that the country

4 I hate my job and would love a new job



I am just being silly and should I wait or just go for it??



I have just had the implant out and it was decided it might have been mixing with my tablets and I am still waiting for my first AF really since before my first pregnancy ( lo is 1)



Any advice would be great

    I wouldn't want to direct you either way but you do have genuine concerns! If you're seriously thinking of changing jobs I would personally do that first, get settled in a new job, maybe if you're happier at work you might then be able to find it easier to come off the anti depressants? Also with a 2 bed flat, if there's not room for two small children it could get very clostrophobic (sp) (not good for depression) and once a new bubba is coming moving and any DIY involved and the stress with a move will only be more difficult!



    I know when you're broody it feels like nothing else matters and lets just go for it! Then reality sneeks into your mind! If you're not in a rush to have a second (age, health etc) I would personally wait until at least some of the doubts have been solved.



    That's just my thinking, I have a similar situation and I'm forcing myself to wait a while. But it't totally up to you and OH what is best for you! x x
