Trying to Get Pregnant

GTKY: Your ideal due date

Hey girls. I'm still new here and trying to get to know everybody. So if we all were lucky and could plan our exact due date, what would be your ideal month to have a baby?

It just happened to work out that DD was born in April conceived in August but we had been TTC since January so we didn't plan it that way. I actually loved having a baby in the spring so we could get outside for walks and I didnt have to bundle her up everytime AND that I didn't have to be pregnant in the hot summer! So my ideal time would probably be anytime from MarchMay.

  • I would take any due date I could get. However, if I had a choice in it I would love October. Spending the holidays with a new born has always been the first thing that came to mind when DH and I used to talk about starting a family. That was years ago though.

    TTC #1 since August 2012

    BFP 7/5/13 ~EDD 3/17/14 - MC 7/22/13

    DX PCOS 9/17/13 - Cyst on left ovary benched on BCP

    10/12/13 Cyst is gone starting cycle #1 Femara - U/S shows no response

    11/19/13 Large cyst on right ovary. Benched again.

    12/18/13 2 cm cyst still on my right ovary. Back to BCP. 

    1/10/14 start femara 5mg for 10 days

  • I honestly don't care what month...would just be happy to have a baby!!
    I suppose it would be nice not to have to drive to the hospital in snow/poopy roads.

  • The first thing I thought is 9 months from today or ASAP, regardless of date!! But I always thought a spring due date would be nice. Then I wouldn't be far along in hot summer months and would have a nice big belly through the boring winter and holiday months. :

  • My ideal time would be Feb - May for the same reasons as you. Which is exactly we we chose this month to start TTC. But now it's just finding out if it actually will work out that way.

    A fall baby would be nice, especially with having the holidays off of work for maternity leave. But almost everyone in family has birthdays then so a baby in Spring wouldn't have to share so much :)

    image


  • I'd love to have a baby born in the Fall. Tiny snuggles all through the holidays.  I'm trying for a spring baby as the whole maternity leave then summer off is a good thing.  
  • September: Because DH's job is seasonal and things will be slowing down soon.

    January: Such a blah month (and DH is still around) and it would be fun to have something exciting to look forward to in the month of January!

    That said, we're so ready for a baby. The birth month really does not matter. ;)

    eta: Hoping for a February 2014 baby though!!

    It would be February or March as I am a teacher and would like the rest of the year off.
  • Any time would be great.

    Summer/Fall are my favorite seasons.

    I have an August baby so june/july September/October would be nice. Like I said though any time would be ideal. I wont be choosy.

    My 'ideal' due date was about three months ago, before testing and massive amounts of stress and worry reared their heads. Since that obviously didn't happen I'll take Spring 2014.

    Stop fishing. You know why.

    This. I don't understand why essentially all of your posts are solely to stir the pot.

  • I'll take any time.  The sooner the better.  I'm a teacher so ideally I would love to plan it around March so I can have my full maternity leave and not have to take any at the start of the school year which would stink! Maternity leave plus summer off sounds wonderful!

    I totally agree!

     

  • I like early spring. Things would be quieter at work during the winter when I was most pregnant then it would be nice out.

    I could think of many nice things about different seasons though.

    Would be really cool to have baby on my birthday. I have the same birthday as my mom so it would be cool.
  • As long as it happens, I don't care when the due date is. If I was able to choose though, probably either October since that's DH's and my MIL birth month or in the spring.

    I'm a teacher, so April / May would be great because I could afford to take the whole end of the year off then. 

    Yes! Like everyone else, I will take whatever due date I can get, but end of the school year would be ideal (though after totally missing this year's, at this point I'd much rather get KU now, even though timing would be a little trickier than wait for the "ideal")
