What's great about a November due date?

Ms.Jade · February 2011

I've been lurking on these boards a long time (dealt with infertility) and now that I have my BFP I'd like to start a discussion I've seen on other birth month boards;

Sure we all have to get through the hot summer months pregnant, but what do you like about a November due date? Why is it perfect timing for you?

Congratulations and H&H 9 months to everyone!

My EDD is 11/2. That will be perfect because it's just enough time to get into a routine with the baby before we head to my parent's house for the holidays. It will also be great because all of my immediately family will be there, so they will all get to meet the baby if they haven't already. It will also be nice in terms of maternity leave because it will be slower at my work around the holidays so I won't feel bad for leaving all my work with my coworkers.

On the other hand it will be tricky because my sister gets married on 10/29 & I'm the matron of honor. I cannot miss her wedding, I would be so so upset. I will hold this baby with my legs crossed if I have to !!

I'm glad not to have to worry about a due date around Thanksgiving or Christmas so I don't have to deal with ILs with an excuse not to leave, haha!

Also, I'm actually pretty excited about being in the "cute" pregnant stage in the summer. All of those flowy summer dresses will look adorable with a not-too-massive bump!

This! Can't wait for summer clothes!! I also can't wait to have a baby for the holidays. Christmas is with my family this year and I can't wait to hang out with them for Christmas!!!!

we'll all be at our most uncomfortable when it's getting a little cooler(unless you're down south) which will be nice. NO worry about the weather being bad(again unless you're down south and then you never have to worry about now), perfect timing for the holiday because I'll hopefully be in some type of rhythm by then plus we'll all get to show off our little beaners for the holidays

I think this is my favorite part!

Agreed!!

snflwrgrl78 · February 2011

I agree with being off for the Holidays. And also all the cute dresses for spring and summer.

Fall is also my favorite time of the year, so this will just add to the excitement Smile

emandbry522 · February 2011

Being off for the holidays. Having a fall baby (fall is my favorite).

Just finally being pregnant is the best part though!

mrsjabas · February 2011

Like a lot of other moms, I will be so excited to wear maxi dresses in the summer with my big ol' bump! Plus, I can be a big pregnant lady at the MN State Fair (in August) and be able to walk around and eat a ton (cheese curds, anyone?). We also didn't want to travel this year for Christmas or Thanksgiving so this is a good reason for everyone to come to us.

SO excited!

I have to echo everyone in saying it's going to be amazing to have a little peanut for the holidays! Baby being concieved, born, first Thanksgiving, first Christmas all in one year is pretty cool. What a difference a year makes!

I'm excited that I'll be able to show off my bump during the cute stages, through spring and summer....but then it'll be time to bundle up and hide again in the oh-so-big phase, ha!

November is a pretty mellow time as far as working goes on the ranch here, so I won't be missing much, and DH will be able to be around to help me more because he won't be quite so busy with farming fields and such.

LesRN · February 2011

I am so excited about having the holidays off work with a new little peanut! Also having a cute little bump through the summer. I live in Texas so I really didn't want to be 9 months pregnant in the hot summer months.

Hoping to be joining this wonderful board in about a week. I couldn't help but participate in this. I CAN'T wait to wear this in October:

I too have been dealing with IF for almost three years and have had two losses. I got my BFP yesterday and today I'm waiting on the beta test from my RE so thought I'd lurk but then saw this question. The best thing about a November due date for me is that I'll be off through Christmas without taking too much personal time off, plenty of holiday pay in there and personal holidays I'll need to use up.

I had a friend who bought one and had it on this past October. I just searched the internet for "skeleton pregnancy shirt" or "skeleton pregnancy costume" and it came up with many sites that sell it. Here's just one site: https://gladditudesbumptees.spreadshirt.com/mty103

If you know you're having a girl -- the skeleton has a bow on it's skull!!! hahaha!

bridetobe6808 · April 2011

This got kind of side tracked with the skeleton shirt

cute...but they best thing about Nov. due date is tiny baby in poofy jacket!

shadow_mira@hotmail.com · May 2012

My thoughts on a Nov. birth mirror most everyones. I'm not going to be super huge during the hottest two months of the year. i get to wear cute sundresses. The baby will help keep me warm in the cooler fall weather. But the best part is just having my little one in the world Though it is nice that I don't have to worry about whether to make plans over the holidays or not (in case we had to you know deliver a baby or what not :P )

Happy early birth day all you November baby's hiding in mommas tummy!

pbandkelly · May 2012

My favorite thing is a constant reminder of how fun our Valentine's Day was!!

Seriously, though, my office closes for Thanksgiving week, and again for two weeks at Christmas, since most of our staff is from all over the world and they take the time off anyway. I see it as some bonus maternity leave since I don't get any. Plus, since all the family will want to see the baby, I know the kids will have the biggest and best Christmas ever! Andplus, how freaking cute are Christmas baby clothes!?!?!?

LOL, I am SO excited for the State Fair! I am already dreaming about the food.... Ugh, yummmm!!

abfromva2 · May 2012

How did this year old post get bumped when it was on a different board? So weird...

but anyways, I like Nov. because it allows me 2-3 solid months of getting the hang of things before my busy season kicks in at work. Perfect timing

lluuvvbugg · May 2012

I will say the best "things" about a November due date for me is:

1) my mom and I share our birthdays on November 10th, could be a possibility we have this LO around then

2) My birthstone is citrine or topaz, my daughter's is ruby for july, my hubbys is ruby for july too. the nov baby will help us even out :-)

3) Having the 2 biggest holiday months off to be with the new LO and my family!
