what time of year to have a baby?

3KIDSNOMONEY

I started a similar thread a couple of months ago. i have 3 children and fell pregnant with them straight away and was presuming that the same would happen again and wondered how a Christmas baby affected family life. This time though i haven't fallen pregnant straight away and am still trying.

So although you can plan to some degree things don't always work out, and if you want a summer baby and it doesn't happen, who wants to wait for another year to try again for a summer baby (does that make sense)

My daughter was born in March and I was so pleased to be at my heaviest in the cool winter months!!! Dont know if i would have been able to handle it in the middle of summer. It is lovely to have your baby in the winter months because they are that little bit bigger by the time summer comes and able to enjoy it more. Good luck for the future .

DS was born in September and oh what a steaming hot summer that year was.
Baby no.2 is due December and it will be nice not to be huge in the sticky summer months.

It took me years to get pregnant and in then end, I was so glad to be having a baby I didn't care what season it was. In the end, both of mine were born in late spring - DS1 in May and DS2 in April the following year. It was good not being pregnant during the summer but a nightmare trying to keep them cool when it was very hot - seem to remember many hot sleepless, sticky nights with both of them.

Being very nosey now but this has got me intrigued as I'd never heard of it before. How long ago was it?

This happened in 1973/1974. I never really knew why they did it. Thought maybe they'd let me start a year early by mistake then had to keep me in the first year again!?

as a rule i find the best time to have a baby is generally about 9 months after falling preggers lol
other than that i had my 1st in feb and my next is due in jan. not having a child in the summer means i can't comment on which is best, but by time they are due i wouldn't be giving a rats a** wot season it is as longs it don't take to long for them to get out lol

How the hell do people manage to get pregnant from their honeymoon? does that really happen in real life? not many people can plan it out that well, as you just have to let nature take its course! which means not always being sucessfull first try!

Lol - tell that to all the teenagers round here who though they couldn't get pregnant the first time they had sex.....;)
