Hi mommies! So obviously this is just a funny topic, it’s really not that deep but just thoughts which cross my mind as we are thinking of growing our family. I’ve been wondering what I’d like to do differently next time and the only thing which has come up for me is to try not have another September baby.
Ok so my daughter is a September baby and apart from her being the oldest in her class when she’s older, which in my mind doesn’t always mean anything, I’ve really not enjoyed the month she’s was born it just felt really meh. It was a hot summer leading up to September and being heavily pregnant was utter crap. Once she was here going into the autumn/winter was heavy with a new baby, the dark nights felt really claustrophobic and definitely added to the night time scaries. When she started nursery after her first birthday she went straight into germ season (October) which was rough. I felt like she didn’t have time to build up any resilience. So yeah if I had my time again I think a nice March baby would be lovely. You’ve got spring starting with summer just on the horizon, lots of pram walks. By winter you’d be feeling healed, less shell shocked from being freshly pp and just ready to tackle the darker nights with a more slightly older baby.
Anyone care to add any thoughts? Maybe I’m wrong and maybe I haven’t thought of something? Remember it’s just for fun it’s not a competition of who has things harder.

I feel like you're right, anything where you're giving birth like Feb-April would be ideal for me because being heavily pregnant in the heat is not for me. My babies are August and late September babies and I know what you mean about the dark evening, I felt like it was sooo depressing, and then the winter came and it was HARD!

I have an august and june baby with 3rd due august. I love where their birrhdays are because we get to take them out for it to celebrate. Dont need layers and layers of clothes, noone is sick, no shorter openings due to weather/nights drawing in. My youngest got chicken pox at just 3months due to my eldest being in school bringing germs home. Im glad im having a summer baby, september is my cut off for any other babies, march is the earliest id have one 😂 x

I lived off frozen lollies too😂 there was no other way of surviving hahaha. I get seasonal depression anyway so add a newborn and all the hormones that come with that, it's a recipe for disaster 😂 x
