Struggling with Maternity Leave Timing

I (33F) am struggling on when is best time to switch jobs and start a family. My partner and I would like to start trying for a kid now, except I hate my current job. Would any moms have advice on if I should just stick it out for another year or look now? I have been at my job for 4 years but dread going to work. No top up and in Canada so I don’t have any concerns with leaving my current job and getting maturity leave at the next. But staying at my current job is making me miserable. I’m not sure if I’m still better off sticking it out for the consistency rather than trying to make a name at a new company while pregnant. Also, starting at a new company and going on mat leave within the first years seems like it would be shady, but maybe I am overthinking it.
