What season do you think is best

to give birth.

again I'm sorry my question key doesn't work.

I have 2 winter kids currently feb and jan. I really don't think I want another winter baby. 1 reason alone. I would like to have outside bday parties. LOL. In your opinion what season do you think is best to have a baby and why.

Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall.....all pros and cons please.

Re: What season do you think is best

Well, being a July baby myself, I absolutely LOVED having pool parties/beach parties growing up. My DD is also born in July.

Cons for me: a lot of my school friends were always away for my bday (July 5)

It was also nice being able to take her out fairly soon for walks, etc. w/o having to bundle her up

Re: What season do you think is best

Spring. I have 2 May babies and love that time of year.

Re: What season do you think is best

DS is the end of April and I love it.

Re: What season do you think is best

April/May so you don't have to carry through the heat

I can tell you def not October

Re: What season do you think is best

Summer! I planned it for my kids to be born in the early/middle summer, as a kid I always wanted my b-day to be in the summer and have pool parties and be outside!

Re: What season do you think is best

Both my kids are October babies and I hated the first few months on maternity leave - it's too cold out to do anything PLUS it was cold and flu season so I felt pretty cooped up

Re: What season do you think is best

I had a late June baby and I loved it.

Re: What season do you think is best

Im am preggo now with #2. I had DD in Jan. and I planned this pregnancy to happen in the spring. I feel like it will help a lot just in case of PPD. You can get out of the house whether it just be in teh backyard. Plus, you can possibly have an outdoor party.

I would never have a winter baby again. I think it contributed to my big time baby blues.

Re: What season do you think is best

I had an October baby. While I hated being pregnant towards the end of summer, I didn't mind the change of weather and it getting cold. Since the baby was so small, we didnt go out much for the first 8 weeks anyway. It was also so nice having the baby so close to the holidays - everyone was so excited about that.

Re: What season do you think is best

I had a late June baby and loved that. Maybe it will work that way again

It fit perfectly with my teaching job!
I loved not being preg in the hottest part of the summer.
We went out for walks immediately and spent tons of time in the backyeard last summer.
I like June as a birthday month. It's nice that his gift recieving holidays are as spread out as they can be.
He was 6 months for Christmas which was a nice age to enjoy it.

It was great

Re: What season do you think is best

my dd was born on the first day of spring, March 20th

where we live in CHarlotte, the weather is GORGEOUS at that time of year, it was around 72 when I was released from the hospital. We may shoot for a fall baby next (sept - oct)...it really doesn't get cold here until late december

Re: What season do you think is best

I have a Dec baby....next time around, I thought I wanted a spring one...but now I am not so sure.

I spent the whole summer outdoors...a lot of the moms around me had their #2's strapped onto them while they were in the pool/park with #1.

At 6 months, I could start the sunscreen and baby will enjoy the water....so maybe another winter or fall baby so that summer can be fun.

Re: What season do you think is best

i have a may and early july baby. Didn't plan it that way at all, and i love it..couldn't have been better. Except for being fat through the last 2 summers after they were born(except this one )

Re: What season do you think is best

Re: What season do you think is best

My DS was born on June 4th...I'm glad he was a late spring baby.

My birthday is in Feb and DH's is in March. I hate winter birthdays...

Re: What season do you think is best

Nov/Dec/Jan.

I am going to TRY to plan all of my babies to be winter babies..

I would never want to give birth when its warm and have preggo weight on my body. I would NOT want to leave the house .

Atleast in the winter your covered up so its not bad at all ..

Re: What season do you think is best

I'd love our next baby to be in the spring/summer/even the fall.
DS was born in Jan. and it was hard.
Really couldn;t get out much and I did have some "baby blues".
I think having another one in any other season will be better. DS can play outside and the newborn could go too.

Re: What season do you think is best

I say late spring early summer. Since you really shouldn't bring them to crowded places for a few weeks you are not trapped indoors. You can go for walks in the neighborhood, park etc. So you still get to enjoy the beautiful weather. Also not flu/cold/virus season - yes there is always something around but the summer is really when most people are at their healthiest.

Re: What season do you think is best

I agree with you in that I gave birth to DD in January and would hope to have the second in warmer months so we can do outside parties..

Re: What season do you think is best

I had my DD in Aug and WOW was it hot and uncomfortable to carry through the summer..

I was born in June and love that month you can have pool parties ect... I say JUNE! or early July

Re: What season do you think is best

I had DD in Jan. my next baby I want end of Oct./beg. of Nov.

I want to be able to go outside with DD and DC#2 in the summer and enjoy it, with a newborn I wouldnt be able to. This summer was great DD was 6 months beg. of July and she could wear sunscreen and enjoy being outside!

Re: What season do you think is best

In my opinion, April is the BEST!!!

Re: What season do you think is best

Spring! I had DD in April and it was a great time of the year because I started taking her out for walks soon after she was born.
