I understand due to fertility problems that timing conception is not a priority or even considered when desperately ttc, and i, in no way am trying to blame you for the birthday of your child.
It's just that, i am fortunate enough (and very grateful) To not have fertility problems, we were trying to conceive this child for 8 months before we started using contraception, to try to avoid as much as possible, nothing you can do when nature has other ideas a christmas baby. And TBH both me and dh were actually quite shocked when the first time that we stopped using contraception, i conceived, as i said after 8 months of trying, we weren't expecting to conceive so quickly after resuming our ttc, but we were over the moon.

I am in no way trying to be smug, in anyway whatsoever! and i realise you can't prepare for everything, when a baby decides it wants to make an appearance there's usually very little that anyone can do to stop that. I just wanted to have a bit of control, as much as possible, in trying to prevent having a christmas baby. I also have a ds, who's birthday is 6wks before christmas. His birthday is close to christmas, but not ignored or rolled into one, as much as my nephew's and OP's DS is. It's not being close to christmas that becomes a problem, it's when it's during the actual festivities. IMO from 20th Dec-2nd Jan, christmas and birthday's seem to be rolled in to one, for many people who have birthday's during this period, and i was trying my best to avoid this for my unborn child, why is this such a bad thing? was me using contraception to prevent a christmas/new year baby, really that bad?
