Anyone planned pregnancy for specific month?

[Stella29]

Hi all,
Has anyone planned and been successful in planning a pregnancy for a specific month? I will be over the moon regardless if it works out at that time or not. Financially we would be a significantly better off during my maternity leave if we could time it this July or August as my bonus would be included in my average weekly earnings. Has anyone managed to plan ahead and be successful?

Please can someone explain what difference being paid monthly makes?

Yes I had my ivf in the Autumn for an early summer baby :)
Otherwise no, I ttc very hard for 3 years. I can understand trying not to get a Christmas baby though.

Interesting what's being said about August and September babies!

Probably sounds awful but I was glad my July baby was packed off to full time school at just turned 4! I would have been driven mad with him at home another year

Well YonicScrewdriver maybe a bit! However I am pretty optimistic natured and think I'll just be over the moon to
Be pregnant. A bonus is just that a 'bonus' and if we are lucky enough to add it to my average weekly earnings it'll give baby B a pretty good start off :) x

After 4 years of TTC and a miscarriage we were just happy to be pregnant, never mind planning what month it would be born!

I would've liked an Autumn baby but it wasn't to be and not sure I could've coped with being pregnant in the summer anyway.
