china or baby?

[almostXmagic]

well iv still got another year before this would happen but to me a year isnt that long. my OH really wants to go to china for a year to do missions. im all for this except it means pushing my TTC date back another half a year. as im on several medications and the pill ill need probably a few months to come off these and regulate my system. i want to support my OH as our Relationship with the Lord is a HUGE part of our life. but i just dont know if i want to give up my ideal time for a baby. what do you think you guys would do if faced with this situation?

would be an amazing experience, i think i would wait the extra time, if you think you culd cope with waiting

I think as you say to you a year is not a long time then you should perhaps do it as once you have a baby you won't be able to do anything like that for a long time and it would be a good experience for you. Good luck with whatever you decide

I am not particularly religious but my soon to be husband and I are working on a Taken in Hand relationship. It hasn't been easy for me - but that's another story. Anyhow I would follow your husband's wishes.

We did a bit of travelling before settling down to have babies, and let me tell you, you'll NEVER regret it. I love my baby to bits and I'm dying to have another, but I wish we'd squeezed even more travel in, because even though we may be able to do some of that sort of thing, it's just not the same. This opportunity might not present itself again, or maybe it will but you just won't have the heart to take your children away from grandparents and friends, etc.

It sounds like an amazing, life-changing experience. I'd go for it

i think you guys are right. iv decided to go to China if this is what OH decides he wants us to do and ill just wait the extra 6 months to have a baby. i think as you ladies said it will be an amazing experience and possibly wont be something that ill have the chance to do again after children. thanks everyone!

I would say China too, and that you won't regret it. Some countries are hard to travel with babies - China is def. one of them. My dream was to backpack in Egypt and I did for a full month, then had my LO 2 years later. No regrets at all. I could not have done it comfortably and safely with him. Go, have fun, and good luck TTC afterwords You will not regret your experience!

That sounds like an amazing experience you two can have together before you have a LO! If you have any more doubts I would say pray and ask for clarity or guidance
