I have a question for the teachers out there... are you guys going to stop TTC in Oct or Nov when the due date would place you at the same time of school starting? That's throwing my husband and I for a loop right now because I'm really going to need to be working then (he is PROBABLY-never know for sure- getting out of the Navy the following Dec. and we need to KNOW that one of us will be working for sure.) I'm so mixed up about timing right now!! I have a limited time to get pregnant before he gets deployed, but If I get pregnant TOO soon before he leaves, he may be deployed for the birth! Then, he'll be gone when the timing is perfect (of course!) and we can try for a homecoming baby, but that would put us delivering just before school would start (or just after). I'm worried about interviewing for jobs mega pregnant, I'm worried I won't get hired! Or they won't want to hire me if I'm going to be missing the first month or two of school.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?!

I kinda think that you should just make love and trust the universe (goddess, god, whatever you believe in) that the baby will come at the right time. There's no way to calculate it for sure, so you might as well trust in divine timing.

I'm trying to stay in faith about the whole TTCing myself. We've been trying for over a year and so many "perfect" times have come and gone. Now I'm just trying to give up planning and see what happens.

Good luck to you!

Aww, I feel the same way and wish I could do that! Unfortunately, my husband is a worrywart and wants to make sure everything is definite and secure for everything! (which we all know nothing is, but he's a man and thinks it needs to be) Of course I don't want to bring a baby into the world if we don't have jobs! We just have so many timing issues, it worries me that I won't have a family anytime soon.
