To think having a baby in September is maybe the worst time?

I’m a September birthday but neither of my children are.

But I was thinking … heavily pregnant in a hot summer and an extra years childcare to pay for.

I know September births have an academic advantage but on balance I think my least preferred month!

I loved it. I spent the whole of August lying in a hammock in my garden watching my older two play. It was the summer holidays and it meant I was so well rested when DD was born in early September

In terms of being pregnant, summer and winter are both equally bad IMO. Summer you’re too hot and in winter I’d be scared of slipping/driving on ice.

Nah, December or January are worse. A lifetime of misery!
