[quote=Anonymous]I 100% agree with the PP who suggested considering DH's job stability, your own ability to get back to work if you need/want to (have you done a job search recently? It can be tough, and tougher still if you have a few years gap). Mostly, consider the long-term impact of staying home more than the short-term--career mobility, long-term savings, retirement, financial stability. Think about how likely it will really be that you'll want to go back to work with a 1 or 2 year old baby, and when you'll probably be wanting to try for baby #2. I generally recommend planning to going back to work for at least 6 months at least for your 1st child, but agree with the PP to ask for an extended maternity leave. Basically, you can always quit, but it might be hard to get back to work.[/quote]
