Is it super vain to try to plan your due date?

For example my partner and i plan on taking a break from TTC so we dont have a due date over xmas/new year. Had mixed reactions to this decision. 😕 We know we cant control it completely, and the months we miss might have been lucky for our TTC journey.. But i know loads of people born in that 3-4 week period in Dec/Jan and everyone hates it. Anyone else try to plan things like this?

Have to say if we are still ttc then we will take a break in Nov as dont want an August baby purely for schooling disadvantages. The christmas period wouldnt bother me!

Well, I'm a teacher and wanted to avoid Christmas and August. Ended up with one Christmas baby and one August baby and couldn't care less! There are way more important things.

Ps DD loves having a Christmas birthday.

I don't think it's vain - it's your personal decision. DH actually suggested this to me but I disagreed.
