winter spring summer or autumn baby

I love the idea of a may or early June baby … you get pregnant at the end of the summer and then your pregnant during all the bigger holidays and winter and when it’s getting nice again you have a baby and it’s before your uncomfortably hot with summer heat . I’ve had a Sept baby and a Feb baby and I adore both ofc but with my Sept baby the entire third trimester was uncomfortable with the heat .

I got pregnant the first time at the end of august and had my May baby! Highly recommend that timing if you can swing it since there is no summer heat during pregnancy 😊 my second was the opposite time of year in November so pregnant in February, somewhat pregnant during the summer and super pregnant in the fall.

Ughhhhhh my son was born 2 months ago on December 22 and I feel like my postpartum experience would have been WAY different if it were even just the end of winter 😭 this has sucked so bad!

I had an unplanned November baby and i’ve definitely struggled through the winter I would like to plan my next to be around April/May

I had my baby in April and it’s been a dream! We did so many park walks when he was newborn. The light nights really helped early PP. This winter feels like it’s gone so quick

I’ve got a December baby and would like to avoid having another winter baby. We’re planning to get married next year and it’s annoying cause if we try straight afterwards and conceive it would be a winter baby so we’ll have to wait. I’d love a spring or early autumn baby x

I have two spring girls and both times were amazing. I was huge pregnant in the coldest months, had them just after we had to worry about getting sick anytime we did anything or saw anyone, and by the time thanksgiving rolled around they were able to try all the food

I’ve had 2 September babies and did not enjoy being very pregnant through the summer but I can’t imagine dealing with a newborn during a heatwave x

My first was a Feb baby and found it quite nice. Could stay indoors all cosy when he was newborn then you start getting the longer days when you feel like getting out and doing more. Weaning in the summer was then good as we’d eat in the garden and all the mess would be out there 😂

Second baby was last June in the middle of the heatwave. Constantly panicking trying to keep baby cool, and then having them attached to you when you just want to be alone and cool was awful!

I had a may baby and that was great but I didn’t like having to wear so many layers with a bump and that year it stayed really cold until April. And I couldn’t swim all summer and was always sweaty with a newborn stuck to me. And our nurseries here only take children 12mo and older and only after September. We got lucky because a child moved away but it would’ve been difficult to cover childcare for an extra three months. This time we’re expecting in September and so far I think I prefer that :) ask again when I’m super pregnant in the middle of summer 😭😂

I have an October baby and im due an August baby but I think April would be the best. With my first I was trying for September and was due then but with my 2nd trying took long so we have August instead of April. But yeah I think April would be best cause when youre in 1st trimester feeling rubbish you can sit in the sun and it'll make you feel better, then youre cute and cosy over winter and you should be able to nest comfortably without getting too hot, then baby is born as the weather is getting better but still cool so you can do all your walks without being too hot or cold and the coming summer will help pull you out of any postpartum issues

Someone here mentioned childcare too so if thats something you need an in the UK then March is probably better than April so you can start straight off with the 9 months funding after Christmas

I had a March baby and it was great. The first few months were still a little cold and rainy (from UK) but at least it wasn’t dark anymore. Went on lovely walks and picnics in the park etc.
on the flip side, it was cold and wet when she started to crawl and didn’t like the pram anymore so it was tricky to take her out.
I also had a late August baby, not great cause she caught every imaginable bug from my eldest in the fall/winter, but if she would’ve been my first I probably wouldn’t have minded it as you spend the winter to enjoy the newborn cuddles, then by spring/summer you can go to the park then beach with somewhat of a more functional baby who interacts and can sit independently.

I think if I had to choose again, I would go for spring baby, especially if they were my 3rd

I had a September baby in 2024, and honestly I didn’t struggle with the heat as much as I thought I would. I can imagine how terrible it could get being in the third trimester and it being uncomfortably hot though! X

I had a middle of August baby and it was perfect
- it was still summer so no cold and flu season, not worried about visitors getting him sick
- it was nice so we could get out and do things still (like walks and what not)
- the 4m sleep regression hit in winter so I could lock myself away and focus on sleep
- as such, the days were darker so I didn’t have to worry about blackout blinds etc when he was little
- we travelled during the winter to escape the snow and he was little enough we could plop him in the carrier, nap in a stroller, etc.
- once he started crawling it was the spring and walking in summer, way more to do when mobile
- childcare for us starts in September with the school year. So it perfectly aligned with that
- personal note: I am a teacher so I was able to collect all my summer pay before going on leave and started back up in September the year after. It was a natural break, didn’t leave my students mid class or enter mid class. And I never went without money.

Spring is my favourite. My son was born at the end of March and it was perfect. When I worked out my daughter's due date would be January I was disappointed briefly 😂 it's gone by so quickly though and we're almost into spring anyway!
