Time of year question???

Is it just me or is everyone really hoping that they don't have to conceive in the next 2 months? I mean, I will if I have to. But that would mean that I would be full-term in July or August. It's so hot and uncomfortable then.

But on the bright side our babies would always have off from school on their birthday's.

Re: Time of year question???

DH and I have had that discussion, we're hoping to get pg in November, which would me an end of August birth for me. He's answer was that I should just stay inside in the airconditioning...

Re: Time of year question???

I have sooooo thought about this.....
But i just keep reminding myself, " As long as the baby is HEALTHY..it will all be worth it"

Trying to think positive

Re: Time of year question???

I definitely thought about this too and do not look forward to the weight and discomfort in the heat but on the brightside we would be able to announce it to our family at Christmas! What a great Christmas present. In any case I'm not going to let a little heat stop me from trying!

Re: Time of year question???

Yes, totally - I was really hoping to conceive in August or Sept...Oh well.....I am already a sweaty mess in the summer. Can't imagine what I'll be like if I am pregnant!

Re: Time of year question???

I am actually hoping to conceive this month. I would deliver at the end of June and my maternity leave wouldnt start until September because I am a teacher and summer school is optional (I usually teach summers). This would maximize my length of time off. Im hoping for the best!

I will sweat it out (no pun intended) if it happens that I'm big & preggo in the summer. It's not ideal - but my goal is to have a baby, I'm not choosy about when.

Re: Time of year question???

YES!!!!! I wanted to post this but felt bad saying it out loud

I can't deal with the heat in the summer and it would be torture for me to be full term in all of July and August's glory. Not to mention I have a 4 year old son who lives at the park and outdoors in the summer, and I don't want him having to loose out on his summer fun b/c mommy is preggo and sweating like a pig! lol

DH and I decided to take these new few months off b/c being preggo in the summer just will not work for me!

Re: Time of year question???

I hope to make it this month - which would make my due date 6/30.

Re: Time of year question???

After ttc for 10 months, I can honestly say I don't care what the pregnancy will entail or what time of the year it is.

Just praying it will happen soon.

Re: Time of year question???

Just my 2 cents...
I was due with my daughter on Labor Day last year and several people told me, "That's the worst time of year to be pregnant!" (Gee, thanks, by the way) Anyway, I loved being pregnant in the summer. It totally wasn't as bad as people warned and it was a HOT summer! I loved the summer maternity clothes and just think of all the flip flops!!!

I am pregnant now and due in May and truthfully, I'm kind of sorry I won't be pregnant in summertime (of course with a toddler, maybe it's a blessing!)

The bottom line, like a previous poster said, it absolutely doesn't matter what time of year it is...it will be the best time of year no matter what!

My Mom had me in the dead heat of summer. She delivered in Manhattan and after a week's stay in the hospital and being so excited to go home, the car crapped out as she sat holding me in the back seat:

Any time of year would be a blessing for me

Re: Time of year question???

I actually really wanted to get preggo and give birth before September...where I live if your child hasn't turned 5 by September 1st, you have to wait until the following year to start school.

But I guess God had other plans...we'll see what happens.

Wow, you have a picture from that? What an amazing memory for you to have (since you obviously wouldn't remember it ). Very cool!

It is pretty cool. I dont usually keep those things lying around but I was collecting pictures to use for the wedding video and had it scanned. Nothing like a 1970 Buick LeSabre to make ya feel young!

Re: Time of year question???

I would take a BFP anytime, anywhere

Re: Time of year question???

I was preggo throughout the summer and had my baby august 21. it really wasn't that bad...and like u said it was worth it in the end.

Re: Time of year question???

I had my baby on August 30th. Whenever I'd be out, people would say, oo I feel so bad for you in this heat, blah blah blah. But it didn't really bother me. I'm a summer person, though, so I liked being in sandals, shorts, etc. I went in the pool and went to the beach when it was hot. It never bothered me. Of course, I'm a teacher and have off in the summer, so this could have had something to do with not minding it, since I didn't have to go to work. ETA: I also got to tell my family at Christmas, which was soo cool. Good luck ladies!
