Trying to Get Pregnant

Intro and question

I'm 24 and my boyfriend is 33. We have only been trying for 4 months so I'm not too concerned yet. My mom and sister think we should TTA in March because they don't want me to miss out on Christmas and they think we should get married. First of all, who cares if it is a Christmas baby? And I don't want to get married. Maybe I am just a little emotional because I want their support. Is anyone TTA in March?

  • First of all Welcome. Second of all, we will not TTA just to avoid a December baby. I would be happy with a healthy baby no matter what month they were born.

    Yes

  • I also think it would be silly to avoid...we plan to continue TTC regardless of the month.

  • DD was born three days before Christmas. We didn't care about having a Christmas baby the first time around. Now trying for a 2nd we will skip next month if it doesn't happen this month as two babies that close to Christmas is not what we would like. So honestly its a personal choice if you don't care than what others think shouldn't either.

  • Yeah I dont get it....I would love a baby before or in december. Getting married is up to you all the way. If you dont want to then dont, if you guys are both happy not being married then thats great. For me I wanted to be married before we had kids but its really up to you guys. Good luck.
  • Welcome!  We will not be TTA in March. 

    I'm confused about how having a baby in December means you miss out on Christmas.  My sister was born 3 days after Christmas and my mom certainly didn't miss out on Christmas that year.  She even joked about handing out spare maternity pants to friends/family who ate too much!

  • No. I'm pretty sure that if I get pregnant in March, I'm not going to give a crap about "missing out" on Christmas come December.

    This - except my DS came 3 days after Christmas. He was actually due in January but was apparently in a hurry.

    I agree with PPs though. You need to make your decision based on what is best for you and your BF.

    ETA - apparently I can't spell today...

    This, Except 5 day after Christmas. It's a financial decision for us to skip next month to avoid a Dec baby.

  • Welcome and good luck!

    I agree with several PPs I don't understand why people get weird about having a baby in December.  We will definitely not be TTA in March.
