It'll still be cold for the first month or so, and then it will warm up and be plenty nice enough to open up all the windows and get outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby/page/2#post-385382 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 01:56:06 +0000 erinpye 385382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was also born at the beginning of April and I loved it. I did NOT love the extra lbs hanging around in the Summer following though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby/page/2#post-385371 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 01:24:31 +0000 Mrs Checkers 385371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With both of our work schedules, June/July works best, but that is also when we have ALL of our birthdays and our anniversary. My birthday and LO's b-day are w/in 2 weeks of each other in June, then 2 weeks after that is our anniversary, and then DH's b-day. It is a crazy month of celebrations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby/page/2#post-385265 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 22:30:12 +0000 Pancakes 385265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was born in March and I loved it. I wanted to have another March/April baby this time, but it didn't work out that way. I think I'd be happy with Oct/Nov, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby/page/2#post-385247 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 22:10:37 +0000 Mrs. Pen 385247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a February baby and liked it for the most part but I think next time I would like to have a summer baby. Be mostly pregnant in the spring would be nice. I didn't mind being pg in the winter, but clothes were really difficult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby/page/2#post-385244 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 22:07:33 +0000 JerricaBenton 385244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lolabee: I'm due in Feb too and I feel the same way. The weather will make me not feel so bad about staying mostly inside with the baby for a while. I am also excited because by the time the holidays roll around again the baby will be old enough to enjoy them a bit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby/page/2#post-385237 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 22:03:59 +0000 immabeetoo 385237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had our baby yet (due the 23rd), but I am nervous about being trapped in the house and people wanting to visit and being sick with cold season. I really didn't think being pregnant during the heat was that awful, at least not because of the heat! I liked being able to wear skirts &amp; dresses instead of pants.</p> <p>I am happy that baby will be born in the same calendar year as my pregnancy started for high deductible reasons though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby/page/2#post-385213 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 21:49:26 +0000 Ree723 385213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was born in June, which is the start of winter here. Of course Queensland winter is quite mild (temps in the 70s every day, lows in the 50s) so I really liked it. I hate the heat so I don't think I would have gone out nearly as much had she been born in summer. With winter, we just throw an extra blanket in the pram and we're good to go.</p> <p>I think early spring or late winter is the ideal time to have a baby but when we go for #2, we'll take what we can get! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby/page/2#post-385200 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 21:42:33 +0000 photojane 385200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm really happy with our timing. our baby girl is due mid-february. it's cooling down now that i'm getting good and pregnant, which i'm so thankful for -- i could not have handled this summer's heat as a huge prego. i'm happy she'll be a few months old by next summer, so we can take her to the pool and beach all summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby/page/2#post-385197 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 21:39:06 +0000 Sweet T 385197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was born on September 3rd. I was pregnant for the entire miserable Georgia summer. It was soooo HOT! The only upside was that it was perfect for being in the pool! Ideally, I think I would like having a winter or spring baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby/page/2#post-385193 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 21:35:41 +0000 matador84 385193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a teacher and had my baby the first week of school! Great because I had a tough pregnancy and was off during the summer...I think I would have had to use a lot of my days had I had him earlier in the year. But...a summer baby would be GREAT to spend more time at home with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby/page/2#post-385188 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 21:32:37 +0000 lolabee 385188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to have our first in Feb, which happens to be what I felt would be ideal for our lives/climate. Work isn't too busy right around then and I always feel like the "light is at the end of tunnel" with winter coming to an end. So it gives a couple months to hibernate in the freezing cold with babe. Then when I'm guessing I'll be feeling good, spring will be here so we can get out for tons of walks! Summer will be nice because the baby will start doing things rather than eat, sleep, poo repeat ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby/page/2#post-384184 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:56:44 +0000 mrsjyw 384184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having a Nov baby :) and even though I wasn't at my biggest; the summer heatwave weeks were kind of unbearable!</p> <p>Next time I'd like to shoot for a spring baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby/page/2#post-384183 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:56:43 +0000 littlecasita1122 384183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was born in mid-June and the timing was just about right. I delivered before it got too hot outside and it was great living in dresses and stretchy skirts all summer since I couldn't fit into a lot of my normal clothes right away. One of my co-workers also pointed out having a baby in June is perfect since it's 6 months away from the holidays so you don't have to worry about a bunch of presents at once! </p> <p>I think next time we'll try to have a baby in April or May as I would have preferred to be able to get some more walks in outside with a newborn before it got too hot. Some days I felt stuck in the house if it was too humid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby/page/2#post-384179 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:55:54 +0000 Bao 384179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was born August 29th, wow that was a hot summer. It was record breaking temps just about everyday. I wouldn't mind a holiday baby November/December but wouldn't mind an early summer baby either May/June </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby#post-384088 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:34:37 +0000 pinkcupcake 384088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a February baby and I really liked it... it was cold, but since we're in the PNW, not freezingly so. Also, it was nice not having to be 9 months pregnant in sweltering heat! Don't know if I could've handled that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby#post-384064 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:29:57 +0000 sarac 384064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Early spring probably. I had mine in September, and I didn't mind being pregnant in the summer. I hated having a newborn when the winter started, though, because it was that harder to get out and walk around and not go crazy sitting at home. It would be perfect to have a baby just as the warmth is coming back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby#post-383579 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 12:25:58 +0000 Honeybee 383579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my kids were born in the spring (March and June - which is still sprintime where I live, lol). It was perfect! If we have another, I think we'll shoot for an April baby. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby#post-383575 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 12:23:35 +0000 Meridian 383575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ideal month(s) would be January and February, which is my "off" season for work! And then I could take 3 months a bit slower and be ready to jump back in April/May. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby#post-383574 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 12:23:27 +0000 thismustbetheplace 383574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ideally we're looking at early summer: May/June. Reasoning is that DH will be finishing his academic year and will have lots more time to stay home and be with baby/me. We're waiting to TTC until Aug/Sept for this reason.. but you know what they say about "best laid plans..." :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby#post-383545 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 12:15:19 +0000 Boogs 383545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a spring baby and it was a great time to be pregnant. If we have another DH would like to have more of a summer baby to make birthday parties easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby#post-383535 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 12:12:27 +0000 bpcmarj 383535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was born at the beginning of May. For me, pregnancy-wise, that was perfect. Like others said, wasn't super pregnant in the hot summer and the weather was mild when she was a newborn. The thing that was hard is that DH is a commercial fisherman and the season starts May 1. He had to go to work almost right away when she was born. For the next one I would love an early december baby. That was DH can be home for more time between seasons, and it will still be cool during the last part of my pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby#post-383472 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:54:52 +0000 chopsuey 383472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spring! It was nice being pregnant during the fall and winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby#post-383454 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:51:48 +0000 LazyLightning 383454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>summer due to work schedule. We planned it that way and are fortunate it worked out for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby#post-383442 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:49:12 +0000 banana 383442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my son in the spring and the weather was perfect. My daughter was born in the summer and it was super hot but I was indoors most of the time anyway so it didn't really matter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby#post-383420 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:43:19 +0000 MrsTiz 383420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ideal month: October, then we'll be inside for the chill and be here for Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby#post-383386 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:37:25 +0000 Arden 383386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Early Spring, because you can be heavily pregnant during the cold months, and it's warm enough when the baby is born to go outside for walks when it's a few weeks old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby#post-383384 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:36:55 +0000 mamabolt 383384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my LO at the end of June and it was pretty good, I liked the weather being warm and not worrying about taking LO outside (except when it was super hot), only thing I didn't like was how high our AC bill was from me being home all day during the summer! We might try and have the next one in the spring so the weather is still nicer, but I'm back at work during the extreme hot part of the year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby#post-383368 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:32:46 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 383368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think late spring or summer- easier to dress and they can spend time outdoors. I worry about itty bitty babies in the winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-ideal-season-to-have-a-baby#post-383357 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:29:58 +0000 shopaholic 383357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: That's awesome about your holiday time off that don't count! Yay for extra time with LO! </p>
