Dh and I have recently started TTC, and now my employer has offered me a package which includes 3 months paid maternity leave after 12 months employment! Obviously 3 months is nothing to sneeze at (although I'm not exactly on a fabulous salary) but I really don't want to stop TTC for 4 months to be able to qualify for it. Biological clock is ticking here! Of course there is a chance we don't concieve for the next 4 months anyway, but just the thought of putting a hold on TTC (especially at my age....) scares me. I just want to go on TTC and if I don't get my maternity leave, just deal with it. I have no intention of returning to the job anyway, I have always known I would be a SAHM and my qualifications are in another area that I could feasibly do from home anyway.

Am I being insane??!
