One of my work colleagues recently got married and has been saying since I started work there that they were going to be trying for a baby straight away.
The issue is that we only a have small admin team and if we both get pregnant at same time, I worry the company would be unhappy. I briefly discussed it the other day with my other work coleeagues and I felt like I have to put it off until the other girl has benn and come back off maternity leave.
Me and DH have discussed having a baby since before we got married and the 3 years of our marriage have had to put it off for various reasons, redundancy for both of us, moving around a lot for DH's job etc and now we feel in a position where we can really make it happen (hopefully). I know I am not old in any sense (as discussed before) but I am 34 this year and DH 38 and we really want one now, however, now I will feel guilty if I get pregnant before my work colleague and worry I will be made to feel like I stole her thunder, or if I am to get pregnant after her that they think I have done it on purpose. To be fair, none of my colleagues know about our desire to have a baby as when it's been discussed before the timing has never been right.
DH said it's our life, our choice and has nothing to do with anyone else.
