Waiting To Try so baby will be born at a certain time of year?

[Mrs. KM]

Hi Ladies! We are hoping to start trying in June of this year, but due to our current financial situation may wait longer. I want my kids to be as close as possible, but I also don't want ot have a baby born in the summer. My aim is to have my next lo in early 2014 or maybe wait until after September 2014. It just gets so hot here in the summer, and K will be at the age where she will want to go out to play and go to the park all the time. I don't want to have to keep her inside because we have a new baby. Is anybody else waiting so that their baby will be born at a specific time of year?

Me! Now this may sound weird...I don't want them to share their birthday month with anything/anyone else.

So
march-ollies birthday
April-my birthday
May-
June- potential wedding anniversary
July-
August-
Sept-
Oct- OH birthday
Nov to feb- too close to xmas


So ill be aiming for a July-sept baby for my next! here's hoping it works!

I'd prefer not to have baby # 2 too close to Crimbo or James' Birthday (he already shares his Dad's B'day) but we have such big families that if we wanted to avoid other people's Birthday's it would be impossible

Jan: SIL
Feb: SIL, MIL
Mar: Bro, Nephew
Apr: BIL, cat
May: Bro, BIL, SIL, Nephew, Niece
June: Me, Niece, Nephew, BIL
July: SIL
August: BIL
Sept: Nephew, FIL
Oct: Sis, Dad
Nov: Mum, James, OH
Dec: Nephew, Crimbo

This is just immediate family as well !!

Oh...I wouldn't try to avoid immediate family because we would run out of days let alone months! Haha just dates that will cost us a lot of money.

I never wanted baby to have a winter birthday, I want a spring or summer baby. I am tempted to stop trying and wait a couple of months, but as we have had no luck so far part of me is just so desperate for a baby that I don't care when it's born. So I don't really know what to do!

 

[CARNAT22]

I am a summer baby and OH is a winter baby (same day as James!)

The downside of being a summer baby is that you kind of expect to have nice weather and it can be disappointing if it pisses down. My Birthday is in June and it rains most years ??

At least with a winter Birthday you know it's going to be crap weather.

I wouldn't really consider wtt at a specific time of year because conceiving is so random at best you could go years I guess if you are only considering bubs b'day in certain months. I am chuffed however that mine is going to be born coming up to summer this time and if I could have chosen any month to have him then it would have been May/June so I am very lucky that this one is due in May. Also May is a nice gap between my other children's b'days lol. Those presents aint cheap you know!

My other 3 children were born in November which I was pleased about because I had my baby in time for christmas and it just made it so magical. Then March, which is a good because Christmas debt is cleared by then. September which is also ok because I would rather her one of the eldest in her school year than the youngest.

When ttc I didn't even think of the month, I just crossed my fingers and hoped for pregnancy regardless of what month he/she would be born though x

We started ttc in December for my daughter and each month I would work out what the due date would be if we conceived - when it came to being due on the 18th Dec I contemplated not trying that cycle - but DH said what if that is the baby we are meant to have - and sure enough I got a bfp in early April due date from scan changed to 15th Dec - and she arrived on the 16th - 9 days old at her first Christmas.

I wouldn't change her for the world, only thing about her birthday is she has so many presents on top of each other and then everyone is always busy with xmas things or snowed in or ill when it comes to her party!

I had a mc in november and the due date for that baby would have been my birthday in june, but wasn't meant to be - I am now due in September and have no other family birthdays then - so hopefully this one sticks

 

[Mrs. KM]

Carnat, wow, your little guy and OH share a birthday!? That is pretty cool!

Iwant3, hoping for a sticky for you this time!!!

I talked to my dh today and I think we will start ttc in April If it came down to it, I probably won't delay it especially if we don't conceive easily. It's just soooo hot here in the summer and I know my dd will want to go to the park all the time. I'd feel bad for her if we couldn't do things because I just had a baby. So fingers crossed for a little one in Jan/Feb 2014!
