so i know it's purely academic as they take their own sweet time BUT once you've decided you're ready (in theory) if you could decide when is the best time to give birth when would that be?
there are so many considerations - work, commitments, holidays, school years.
for me
a) i have to avoid being sick as a dog/heavily pregnant/have a new born at christmas as it's about the only time of year we can make any money from our buisness,
b) we have a big long haul holiday planned for feb,
c) i've heard it's better for them not to be the youngest in their school year - but then we don't know where we might be living in the future so there may be different school years to consider.
so when would be best for you and why?
