I know we all want a bfp no matter when it happens, but in a women's world if we could pick a birthdate for our future baby or avoid a month, what date/month would that be.
As much as I would love a bfp soon, I really would rather avoid an April EDD just because I already have 2 April Birthdays 1 day apart. One good this is that if I got pg this cycle, the baby would be born at the start of April and my other 2 are at the end of April.
A month I would love to be due in is May, my dh is a May baby and that would be awesome for him. then again, I would still have the same dilemma as stated above, the EDD would be the start of May, only a few days after the back to back birthdays in April lol.
In the end, God has already picked my next LO's birthday, and whatever it is will be perfect.
I'm just a planner and like to have a plan when it comes to due dates lol.
In our family so far, we have November, December and January birthdays, which, combined with Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year, is just a LOT of celebrating! Ha. And really, it starts in October, with my mom's birthday and Halloween (DH's favorite), and then carries over to February, with Valentine's & my nephew's birthday.
I never really thought of it. Right now christmas time is rather busy how it is with that holiday plus hubby's bday is christmas eve, so I guess thats not the best time BUT if we add one more thing to celebrate then, that is fine. I really don't want to be really big during the summer, BUT if I am, there is a/c and swimming to keep me cool.
I don't deal well with heat and my mom would be able to come and stay for a few weeks (she works up North in the summers and leaves late April). I wouldn't have to worry about my MW getting stuck in the snow getting to my house, or being transferred to the hospital in an emergency in the snow either.
It'll happen when it's supposed to happen though (which is next cycle, BTW) and I am a million percent OK with that!
I would like August as we do not have a August birthday in the family at all. It is all Feb/march and TOO MANY in April lol.
Although a April baby would be seriously cool as Serenity was born 25th April but due in May.

I have an April babe, I did not like giving birth in April... Its so dreary and it added to my post partum depression. I'd be Due April 6th if I did get my BFP this month. I would actually love and did love to be pregnant in the summer months (I know, im nuts). I had Anna July 28th and was 39 weeks, so I was big in the summer and loved it. Flip flops, maternity skirts and shorts and I just loved putting her in her cloth diapers and a tee and out we go. I def would like to avoid Nov-Feb. I would love an Aug or September babe. My husband is a Virgo (August 24th) and such an amazing person. I'd love a little Virgo dude like him

We're trying to avoid "birthday season." My BIL kicks it off at the end of June with his bday. Then it goes DS 7/16, Dad 7/28, Mom 7/30, Brother 8/4, Me 8/15, Grampy 8/25, MIL 9/4, Grammy 9/14, DH 10/15, and SIL 10/28. Throw in my anniversary 10/1, and that's a lot going on.
April or May would be great, but if we miss it the next few months, realistically we aren't going to stop trying. I mean, maybe we'd avoid July, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there!
My bday is in June, DH is November, DSD is April, and DSS is December....so any time other than that....lol. I would love fall.....End of September....maybe even October. I love Fall. <3 I would love to have something to celebrate at all times throughout the year, so spreading out birthdays would be ideal.

We are SUPER DUPER hoping for a Spring baby in April or May (Feb or March would have been good too). We have minimal Birthdays and I would LOVE maternity leave over Spring/Early Summer!
Once June starts though we have B-days and anniversarys non-stop till after Oct.....although we will not stop trying if we do happen to fall on this "crazy season".
I would LOVE a Halloween baby! I mean, how cool would it be to have your birthday party and then go trick-or-treating with all your friends? The problem with this is that SO's brother's birthday is November 1st. Their mom actually went into labor on Halloween night.
As for avoiding, I would like to avoid June because of all the family birthdays around that time. I would also avoid December. All my friends with December birthdays (especially one whose b'day was xmas day) ended up getting screwed because they get dual presents. There's also the issue of friends being busy or out of town and not being able to come to b'day parties.
If I got pregnant this cycle then I'd be due on April 15th which is a week after my mom's birthday. I'd want to avoid them sharing a birthday (my mom and I aren't exactly what you'd call close). I'd also want to avoid dates such as my former anniversary, ex-husband's birthday, etc.

I would love a Halloween baby. I love fall in general so any fall birthday would be wonderful. I also got really attached to the month of December for some reason and really really thought that was going to be our lucky EDD month.
As for months I would rather not have: I am not really into spring so March and April would probably be my last picks. Of course, if I get lucky this cycle and end up with an April EDD I will be over the moon and I will love it!
