What month would you choose?
I'd like to have a baby in June! Staying warm whole pregnant in the winter was so nice last time, and for future birthdays the weather is usually perfect.
I had a late February baby and didnt mind that too much either.
I also wouldn't mind a September baby. I was born in September and love the weather! I also think it'd be easy for maternity clothes to be pregnant over summer. Maxi dresses all the way!!

May! I had my LO sept 1st and being hugely pregnant in the summer is brutal! My ankles were soooo swollen because of the heat.

October! I love October, and no one I know has an October birthday. I hate when people I know have birthdays close together, which is why i'm trying to avoid a June b-day lol

If I had any control over it I would choose early June so I could enjoy the best weather during my maternity leave! Plus being 9 months pregnant in the heat of the summer would be awful (but if I'm lucky it'll happen to me :))

I'd choose March/April. That way I'm not HUGE over the summer and it's also starting to warm up for LO's birthday parties.

I'd love a spring baby so that I wouldn't have to be pregnant during the Texas summer heat of 116+!

Either June or October, just because those are my favorite months 
I had an August baby, and being hugely pregnant over the summer was miserable.

I don't mind that LO has a July birthday but if I were to have another baby, I'd want a January baby. It'd be far from LO's birthday and I wouldn't be gigantic in July. I also probably wouldn't mind October or November.
Edit: I also love March but that's our anniversary and my birthday so it'd be a lot going on!

For the purposes of my job (wedding planner), I would LOVE to have a baby in January/February so that I could take 2 - 3 months of off-season time to recover and be ready to tackle those spring weddings come May!
Alas, it's not so easy to time things so perfectly!!

Feb-May would be ideal... no major holidays, "middle" of the school year, and a comfy pregnancy. C was born in mid-July, so she'll be one of the younger kids once she starts school, and her birthday will never be celebrated during the school year.

Either Spring(May/ June) or Early Fall (September/ October)...i like of birthdays...and having outdoor fun vs. it raining or being cold...

I've always wanted to have a fall baby. Somewhere from September-November. Hopefully our TTCing will go well this month so I'll get my wish!

I had my LO in April, and it was perfect! I wasn't pregnant during the hot months and when LO was born it wasn't too cold for him to be out! However next time I want an October/November baby because they are my favorite months!

Feb or March. I had LO in May, and I felt like I missed most of the summer recovering and adjusting to parenthood.

My husband and I are both born in May, so I'd love for a future LO to be born then too!

I liked having July babies. Our climate is mild in the summer so I was never super uncomfortable that way. It was nice to be able to hole up over the winter during the first tri when I was sick, and have better weather in the spring and summer to go for lots of walks and dates before babies.

I wanted June, for the same reason @Modern Daisy: mentioned. Mat leave during the summer would be the best.
I also think February is a nice month to be born in. That is when my birthday is and I really like it.

@HabesBabe: I hated celebrating my birthday during the school year!! I was jealous of friends with summer birthdays.
@FutureMrsMcK: @Modern Daisy: @yellowbird: I actually want to be pregnant in the summer... I know I'm probably crazy 
but firstly, like I said - so much easier to dress a summer bump. Just throw on a dress. I never had any swelling at all and I wasn't a "hot" pregnant lady. My sister had a Sept. baby and she said summer wasn't horrible for her. She wasn't very swollen either.

May (and that's when we are due!). I don't think there's really a bad month, though having one in the Spring really excites me!

Ahhh. I had her in June but it was SO DARN HOT that we could'nt enjoy the outside much. We live in the south. I loved having her in June so we could enjoy the summer but I may have to say August so we would get more gorgeous days to enjoy outside with one another.

I would say April/May/June. You're not pregnant in the summer. Your hormones keep you warm in the winter, lol. When baby is born, it's warm enough that you don't have to worry about them being cold.

@Mrs. Pen: I didn't have bad swelling...just enough that I had to take my rings off...but I radiated heat like a freaking furnace pretty much from the moment I got my BFP. My poor DH took to sleeping in a sleeping bag while I slept naked on top of the covers with the AC on like 50, haha.

I had LO in May, which was pretty great as I got to avoid being pregnant in the summer. Next time I'm going to try for March/April, but we'll see how that goes.

we wanted may/june/july so we'd have clustered birthdays ... luckily it's working out so far (edd is june 16)!

Any spring month! I definitely don't want to be hugely pregnant during the hot summer months. It's actually a consideration in why we're waiting to TTC until next year!

June was the month we chose. It fits best with our schedules. We were extremely lucky and had no trouble ttc for a due date that month.

I had LO at the end of June. I'd like to have a second LO at the beginning of May. I liked being off during the summer but we spent so much money keeping the house cooled all day! So if I had May-July off it would be nice weather, but I'd be back in work for some of the heat. Plus it was hard going through the adjustment back to work as the days got shorter and the weather got colder.

@Mrs. Pen: really? I loved celebrating my birthday (March) in the school year! Little special lunch at school, wearing a birthday hat/crown/whatevs, then passing out party invitations to classmates... I loved it!

June. I had my lo in October and the short days with little sunlight was tough for me mentally and not being able to go outside because its too cold is hard. Plus it takes so much longee to get lo ready to go out. Summer I think would be much easier. June is perfect because then I wouldn't have to be huge when it got brutally hot.

my next bebe I want January/Feb/early March.
Never want to be 8+ months pregnant in the summer again, thank you very much,

Anywhere from January to June...
July - November was HOT in socal this year so I want to avoid being in the third trimester during those months. It's FINALLY starting to cool down and we're about to hit December now. We had a terribly warm Thanksgiving.
Want to avoid a September baby bc that's during back to school season, and I can't imagine all the stress that comes with that month. Also want to avoid Sept-December bc I don't want to deal with the decision of redshirting... and a birthday to celebrate on top of all the holiday festivities is just a LOT going on.
Yes, I've thought about this a lot - lol.

I was telling my sister the other day that I think having our next baby in February/march would be perfect! I wouldn't be hugely pregnant over the summer, I love fall clothes and would love to dress a winter bump and after I gave birth I'd have a few months (and motivation) to get back into better shape before summer

I would love a fall (Sept-Nov) baby. Fall is my second favorite season! Plus, I'd like our child to be older in their class, rather than the baby, like me (August birthday).
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21628 posts
I think April would be a great month to have a baby.
coconut / 8305 posts
I would really like a June & July baby! Then we'd be 6 total & our birthdays would go DH: March, P: April, Me: May, future baby, future baby, & the munchkin: August.

i guess i kinda did choose! we're having our january baby and it's great because of my wedding photography schedule. i get several months off and don't have to worry about going back to work for several months!
