maybe second child

S

so my husband and I have been talking about having a second child for awhile now. our son is 2 (turned 2 April 29th) when we planned to have him, we planned for the end of the school year. it worked out pretty well. looking ahead, I am supposed to ovulate August 13th which would give me a may 6th due date. and supposed to ovulate September 12th which would be a June 4th due date. I got pregnant with my son on the first try and thinking it will be easy the second time (this would actually be my third pregnancy, I had a miscarriage four years ago after our honeymoon) so asking other teachers and mom's which would be better? the may due date or June due date or try both months because I may not get pregnant the first try this time. ideally the closer to the end of the school year the better. I'll only have about 20 days of paid maternity leave. thanks in advance for your advice!

I’d go early- benefit, extra time with baby and you can try the next month and still feel it is good timing.

I’d say try for September. Since then if you get pregnant you’ll most likely have it in June like you said, then you won’t have to use too much time off. With my sons we usually tried in October so then they’d be born in July and each time got pregnant on first try. And all 3 have birthdays this month (technically two were supposed too but my youngest was born at 33 weeks. On Friday my oldest and youngest son will be 10 and 6 years old and on the middle son will be 8. Then my daughter wasn’t planned we tried not to aim near ovulation since my husband and I were happy with each of our 3 kids from a previous marriage. But it happened and I had her 1/17/18 😊. We originally didn’t want another baby anyways due to my age being 47 I’m 48 now. But she has Down syndrome and very cute! She’s almost 6 Months old!
