Should I wait another year?
We decided last December to try for a baby this summer, specifically starting in July. A certain pandemic is making me worry that this isn’t a good idea. I heard that it’ll calm down during the summer and come back next fall and there won’t be a vaccine available until summer 2021. I don’t want to have a low immunity as a pregnant woman and my husband’s job seems insecure at the moment. It seems like the only reason to have a baby is because I want to.
But it sucks, it hurts so bad to think about waiting until next year, it’s already been so hard to wait from December to now. I’m off the pill but the plan was to use condoms until July. I talked to my husband about it and he was completely on board with waiting til next year but it hurts so bad. I feel like I can’t do it. I wish he would’ve told me something to get me to hold onto hope for trying this year. I want to be responsible though, I don’t want to put me or the baby in any danger. I just don’t know what to do.
