When to have a baby?

When to have a baby?

I have had medical issues one after another for the past year. My husband and I had plans to conceive our second, but my body kept making new decisions so we hadn’t been able to try. Then I got laid off. I’ve been searching for 6 months with so many close calls. I’m quite discouraged these days. I’m 41 and the window for our second baby is closing based on my own uterine age but I wanted to land the new job first and be there six months, and then conceive so that I can get the best of my benefits in CA. Plus be loyal to the Brand that I’m working for. But at this point… should we just conceive? We cannot afford for me to be out of work. My salary has been the higher one between us for the past 5 years. But getting hired while pregnant, yes there are protections in place for women, but I just don’t trust it. I’m just dejected today - so reaching out in case anyone has been in my shoes before?
