If you had a choice for month of birth

I'm with Curly! Having a baby in the second half of the year means they won't be the youngest at school. I think the cut off for starting school is that they have to be 5 yrs old by the 30th of May. So if you're baby is born on say the 1st of May, you need to weigh up whether to send them to school or keep the back until the following year. If you need to work, but want to keep them back, that can be another year of childcare costs. But then, if money is no obstacle, how lovely to have your child at home for another year!

I always thought I would have a March baby. I would love to be pregnant in Summer and wear comfortable, loose clothes and be able to nurse a newborn through winter.

I am going off the pill in June next year so we will see

i prefer having a winter baby. Having Aiden at the end of June meant that during the colder months, he was rugged up and easily kept warm. As he got more active, it was summer, and therefore, no huge worry about keeping clothes/blankets on him. Once it got around to winter again, he was older, and therefore, when he did get a cold, it was easier to deal with.
I am happy to be having a may baby, as again, easier to keep snuggly and warm during that first winter.

Any of the winter months.

1. You avoid the heat while you are at your largest.
2. You don't have to worry about bubs overheating overnight while he/she is a newborn.
3. You don't have to worry about sunburn with a newborn.

I honestly hadn't really thought about it before getting pregnant last time but I think it worked pretty well giving birth in late June. I suffered badly from heat early in the second tri so maybe an August of September bub would be good too.

Yep, I would definently choose the cooler months for all of the reasons above.
