Orchid,
If you are feeling you have issues now in your marriage, I have a feeling nothing will change once a baby comes in the picture, and in fact, they will probably get worse. I think every child deserves a stable home where the parents are committed to eachother and the family. Divorce is very traumatic as many of us know. Hence, I would refrain from having a child until I am positive my marriage could handle it.
If the marriage couldn't handle it, and you do want a baby, I would cut my losses and find a new husband. 28 is still very young after all. I just don't think it's fair to bring a child into a shaky marriage.
