Waiting for a house before trying for a baby?
Hi, h2b and I live in a flat at the moment (lovely but too small for a family) and we're trying to sell it and buy and new house. My question is, do you think it would be irresponsible to try for a baby before we're settled in a new house? This question is a little premature because the wedding's not until August and we won't be trying to conceive before then. But there's a chance we'll either be renting or still stuck in our flat at that point.
What's the consensus on trying before you're settled home-wise? x

Good luck and hope you have a lovely wedding day.
as you're not planning on ttc until after your wedding in aug i would see how it goes in terms of selling up and buying you're new home. are you planning on moving before the wedding? what does your h2b think?
how many bedrooms do you have? as long as you keep your place on the market, if you havent sold before you marry, i think go for it as baby will sleep in your room for first 6 months anyway.my friend has a little boy of nearly 1 and he still sleeps in her and hubbys room.(they do have a spare room but she likes him in with her)
we would have stayed in flat if we didnt want another baby so a 2 bedroom flat is fine in my eyes for 3 people.
We're trying already. I don't see why it is irresponsible to not be in a house before you start trying, or even before you have a baby, as long as you are in a position to be able to put a roof over your heads.
good luck whatever you decide.

I know how you feel. I get married in march this year so waiting until then to try. We moved last year for the same reasons as you...however at the time we only had a 1 bed house.
I think if it happens it happens and you do have a 2 bed flat. I was glad we moved already. Plus my house sale from start to finish only took 4 months...you may have found a house by the time you marry! xx
