TTC and cousin's birthdays

[EskarinaWeatherwax]

I've recently had the MMR vaccines (again, had them before but didn't have immunity) and now finally in the clear to start TTC. I know it's super unlikely but if we did conceive this month, my due date would be a day before my nephew's birthday & only a couple of weeks after my niece. AIBU to TTC this month or would we better waiting a cycle?

Obviously I know the odds of conceiving on the first month are slim and the odds of them coming on their due date are also slim but just wondering if others have taken into account cousins birthdays when it comes to TTC and potential due dates. I'm probably totally overthinking this as I think well this cycle would result in being close to niece and nephew's birthday, next 3 months are close to Christmas and post Christmas etc and there's just really no ideal time is there so maybe we should just go for it & see what happens.

In our family we have two birthdays seven days apart (our DS and DN). It’s not a problem at all!

Is this a joke? I share a birthday with my son.

Loads of family have birthdays a few days apart

You cant think like this otherwise you will never TTC.
There is never a right time and you have no idea how long it will take, when it does what your actual due date will be and the baby makes up its own mind when to arrive.
I'm very much a let it happen naturally person (after my first anyway - that was planned for Sept lol) We have Sept, Jan and June DC birthdays. Feb and July for me and DH. But all of your birthday are near cousins, aunts, family memebrs, friends birthdays and friends children's brithdays, school starts, Christmas, summer hols etc

Our DS was due on one cousin's birthday and actually born on another cousin's birthday. Funnily enough the cousins are brother and sister with birthdays only a few days apart.

Didn't cross our minds until I was already well into pregnancy and makes absolutely no difference to anything at all, except perhaps Grandparents on that size having to write a bit smaller on the calendar to fit them both in?

I know you've called yourself a massive over-thinker but this just isn't something worth giving a millisecond's thought to.

I have! I planned it that way. And it happened the way I planned. 😅

Focus on yourself - you’re overthinking this.

Oh for god's sake. Just forget about random relatives' birthday parties and get shagging. You're being weird about this.

DP did get a jokey comment from his brother along the lines of only doing it once a year, when they found out my due date for DC1 was DSC's birthday...
