Skip a month to avoid Xmas Bday?

Hi everyone.

DH and I have been TTC since December. If we don't get a BFP this month, I am thinking about skipping March. My period is due 25th Feb which I think could mean a birthday directly around Christmas if we were lucky that month. My Mum has a birthday a couple of days before Christmas and hates it. Is it weird to skip a month for a reason like this??

I could do with losing some weight (I'm 5'3 and 11stone, although only size 10-12, not sure if that's going to cause problems with TTC?) so perhaps I could focus on that for March...

We're both 28, and as I said this is 3rd month TTC.

December birthday here & I hate it! Not ttc yet but have told my dp that I do not want a December baby when we do start.

I can see why people would. But then you might also want to avoid an August baby, avoid clashing with a siblings birthday, school holidays, winter etc etc. Basically just saying that there could always be a reason why you wouldn't want a baby to be born around a certain time so just crack on would be my advice :) good luck.

DH is a Christmas time birthday. He hates it. His own parents even give 1 gift to cover both tight arses and on several occasions family have forgotten its his birthday at all.

Yes I'd avoid if possible but it depends how long you have been trying and whether waiting will be considered a missed opportunity.

I'm born on Christmas Day and so is my OH. I think it's special
