Just wondering if anyone who has children

planned the month of your childs birth? We are trying for our second, but I really would like to get pregnant in JAn or Feb that way we would have a oct, or nov baby. If not I would like to wait until spring to start TTC again. I don t want to be at 9 month in December. I know that sounds crazy but I just dont. ANyone else have reasoning to when you got pregnant?

Re: Just wondering if anyone who has children

  • My hubby wants an April baby.  I don't want to be near/at the end of a pregnancy in the dead of summer if it's as uncomfortable and hot as women say it is.  That being said, I'll take a pregnancy whenever it comes!
  • I have a 6 - 8 mo window to work with as I can't give birth during Sept - end of Dec.  as that is football season.  I know that sounds stupid but DH's job is a huge part of that.

    So we'd want to have a baby during Jan - Aug

    but I'd just want a healthy pregnancy.

  • I will take a pregnancy when ever it comes also!!! And I guess its different for everyone. KAteley was born in MAY and I actually loved being pregnant in the warm weather. For some reason I just don t want to be full term in december, but like you said I will take it when it comes.
  • My only reason for not wanting a December birth would be bc it's Christmas...I love that my birthday is in August and not around any holidays.  I am excited about my May due date since it won't be so hot, my sister had a baby in Aug and was absolutely miserable!

    However, if and when it happens again, we may try to "schedule"...but who knows! I would want my kids to have birthdays somewhat apart during the year, but will be happy however they fall! (Even if it is Christmas Day in the future, lol)

  • I wanted to have a baby in October so I could be off until Christmas and then when I went back to work in January I would have all my vacation and personal days back...I got pregnant a lot faster than I thought I would...it only took us two weeks..so I ended up working a week in December.
  • I was hoping for a spring baby so that I could have the summer off as well and the fact that our entire family's bdays are in the fall/winter, but we had an October baby and I am just fortunate to have been able to have her. I have taken off through December, and while I had to go w/out pay for 2 months, it has definitely been worth it!! I would love a spring baby next, but if we have another girl, it would be nice to have them around the same time so that they would be in the same season for clothing (as far as hand-me-downs go).
  • I agree with Aleshia, I wouldn't want to be pregnant in the dead heat of Summer.  My mother had me in July and she said she was miserable towards the end.  With that being said, like the rest of you ladies, when the time comes, I'll take a healthy baby no matter what month it is. 
  • I NEVER want to be pregnant in the summer again!  that being said, we plan on hoping to get pregnant in July or August to have a April/May baby.
  • We didn't really plan our pregnancy.  We decided we wanted kids and then had trouble getting pg.  It took 9 months so I wasn't picky about the month.

    I never wanted to be full on pg during summer so I guess the big guy was working things out all along :)  Ours is due in March.

    We didn't plan ours either...we decided that we wanted to know sooner than later if we would have trouble TTC, so I stopped taking BC in May.  Lo and behold, I was pg about 3 months after that!

  • DH is a teacher so I want to be due in May, so that he would have time with the baby before he start back and starts coaching in the fall. I don't want to be preg in the summer either, I hate being hot so I think I would really hate that. I think we are going to start trying sometime this summer. I'll take a pregnancy whenever I can but if I could plan...

  • I used to say I wanted a spring baby.  Well it's taking us a lot longer than I had thought and I have really realized that I just want a happy healthy baby and I really don't care what month it is.  I think any month is a happy month to have a baby :)

    That is the right attitude :) A girl here at work has been TTC for 5 years with no luck, and one of my best friends from high school has been trying for almost 3.  I just feel so bad for those that have trouble, then it makes me so mad when people complain that they had a girl/boy and wanted the other sex.  I know a girl that has 4 boys and desperately wanted a girl each time...she had a nervous breakdown after the last one bc she wanted a girl so badly!  I'm like, you have 4 healthy babies....be thankful!!!
