Stopping TTC to avoid giving birth at certain time

[Pumpkin9]

My first was born in February - we started ttc again and I got pregnant and would have been due October just gone - unfortunately I miscarried though so started to ttc again as soon as we could - I was desperate for a baby at this point - the mc had really taken its toll on me emotionally for a number of reasons. Luckily I've conceived straight away however it had meant I am now due 8 days after my little boys birthday - not ideal but then I'm really not bothered now because at the end of the day I'm now expecting our second and I couldn't be happier.

Sometimes the baby doesn't play by the rules either! I didn't actively avoid ttc at certain times but I never wanted a Christmas baby, my second was due in April but arrived 28th December! So with all the will in the world I don't think you can plan a baby's arrival!
