Xmas baby...opinion?

Yay! I am so happy for you

Wishing you a quick TTC journey.

Good for you! Go for it

I honestly think the amount of control we have over this stuff is fairly limited. An EDD around 23rd December means you could go two or three weeks before that, or into the new year.

My first one was due on 13 December and I freaked the whole time I was pregnant that she would be late (first babies are always late right?) and come right on Christmas.

She was born on the 18th November - a touch early but healthy and we were home on November 21st

Hi my DS is born on the 23rd Dec :-) He wasn't due ntil mid-late Jan but nature will take it's course.

Our experience - I wouldn't recommend it if you have a choice. We hold his birthday party in September because by December everyone is going on holidays, school is finishing etc. We don't put the tree up until christmas eve because it's the only way to seperate the present fest. A lot of people try and buy him "a combined" present which we discourage - at 6 you would rather 2 cheap presents than one expensive one - this may change as he gets older. And the biggest fact our son pointed out to us this year. He has to wait 362 days to get another present.

Having said that when I was giving birth to him it never entered my mind and after 6 years we wouldn't have it any other way
