Thanks so much for responding, ladies
Heck, I do make it sound like my career's important to me, don't I? That surprises me.

Rowellan - yes, I like the 'whatever happens, happens' approach, and I think we'll take that approach when we do start ttc, whenever that is! I'm usually more of a risk-taker than DH, but then I'm forever putting my cart before my horse, IYKWIM. Thanks for your kindness re: my age It's good to put these things in some perspective - can't do that on your own!

Pandora - you're right, 2 months is not long! The aim is to be able to maintain professional eligibility to practice so I just need to pick up some part-time work between babies, maybe start a private practice, dunno. But if I leave it any later than 2013, I have to go back to Uni and start over completely!

So, here's where I'm at: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ml#post2234804
