apologies for the fluff aspect of this thread - I am exceedingly aware having a baby at all is the important thing.

however - I have a 14 month DS and we are thinking of having one more baby (if we can). I am going to be 38 in a few months time so do not think I have the luxury of waiting as I might do if I were in my 20s.

My son was born in November and I would like to avoid having children with B-days in the same month - I want to avoid Christmas (friend born on Xmas day and tells me often how she hates it) and we must at all costs avoid April as about 90% of my family already has birthdays that month!

Are there months/time of the year thats preferable? I like the sound of September.

If I could pick and choose itd be may / june.

However, my kids were born at Christmas and in September. Both are fine.

I loved my September birthdays and being one of the oldest in my school year. DD loves her sunny July birthdays.

See I wouldn't chose May/June cos they'd have to do exams on their birthday! I love having a summer birthday, I'm mid August but the disadvantage is no-one is around for your party! I think there's pros and cons to any month.

I wouldn't care where/when he/she was born, just as long as they were born and healthy

My two are december and May babies.I didn't think about what month they were going to be born in at all but definitely nicer having a baby in May as it was lovely and warm so lots of long walks with the pushchair.In December it was layers inside heating full blast keeping baby warm.

DD1 is March born. I wanted a September or October born for birthday spacing and school year reasons. As it turns out, I didn't get pregnant for 7 months, so DD2's due date is six days prior to DD1's birthday. And a month before DD1 is due to start preschool(when her funding kicks in). So all very inconvenient, but I'd much rather be pregnant than not.
