Are there times of year you would want to avoid pregnancy even if TTC just because you have some special memory or something you don't want to interrupt? Or like our family are just too full of birthday's 9 months later?

I don't want any kids to have a birthday in the same month. My brother and I had birthdays right next to each other and it caused so many problems, especially because my younger sister's birthday wasn't close as well.
Other than that, I can't think of anything.

Ideally, our future children won't be born in between September and January, because we have someone with a birthday every single one of those months. If it were to happen, it wouldn't be a big deal, but ideally we would TTC with a due date in July or something.

I think I would be good with any month. I was actually thinking of talking to DH about having our next kid around the same time as Megan's birthday or a month or 2 either way.

I would be okay with any month but I think it would be nice to have all late May/early June babies, so we can jsut have one big birthday celebration every year!

We don't want a Christmas baby. Other than that we're pretty flexible. I do check my "edd" at the beginning of each cycle. If the 3 weeks between 38w and 41w falls very close to a date we don't want, I'd be less careful with our ttc precautions (meaning I'd let him use coconut oil and saliva rather than pre seed).

I don't know all the birthday's on his side, but between him, Reme and my family the only month that has no birthday is September, but our anniversary is in Sept.

Other than Christmas the only day I'd like to not give birth is Reme's Birthday, July 29th... because I know how unfun it is to share a birthday with a half sibling.

Yeah, it is totally overwhelming in May-July in our house! I totally don't recommend it.

And currently all 365 days of the year are out for me

I would have said the day Hope died (July 5 although I didn't deliver her until the 8th), but Lucy was already born on that day and I've found it really doesn't make any difference. I also would have said January because we already have three birthdays in January and one in February, but this baby is due probably mid to late Jan, so there ya go!

Oct - Feb is pretty busy for us. We have both my and DH's bday as well as our DD's, Christmas, and our wedding anniversary. That being said, I don't really have too much of a preference and we are actually planning on a due date around December when we TTC next yr!

I don't think we have any dates that are out of the question. As far as siblings sharing the same birthday, I think that's kind of cool. My brother and sister are 16 years and 4 minutes apart and I was always jealous that they had the same birthday. Until my little brother was born (when I was 17 1/2), I was the odd one out with my own birthday.

Our anniversary is in July, so I don't really want a July birthday, but when we were trying we didn't try too hard to avoid a July birthday. We have a lot of winter birthdays in my family, but I'm okay with that.
