Best month to actually give birth?

Question

We’re starting to talk about TTC for our third and with our other two pregnancies we conceived our first month trying. I know it’s not guaranteed this time around but it’s what we’re aiming for. I didn’t give any thought to time of year with either of them but now with our oldest being in school it’s been on my mind. 
Right now we have birthdays in February, May, and October and I’d rather not have our third child in those months. Our oldest was born in May and he got RSV at 7 months, it was terrifying and I can’t imagine a smaller baby getting it so I’m super worried about having a baby during peak illness season and especially with a school aged child — he brings all the yuck home. How do you even navigate all that school illness?

Answer

I have a winter baby and a summer baby. I found my winter boy to be easier to deal with because we didn’t have to worry about temp when he was wrapped to go to sleep. Summer boy on the other hand he was hard because I was always stressing he was too hot

Answer

I have June, July, October & November babies. Summer babies were easier. None of them really got sick so I never really took that into account.

Answer

You just do it...i have a jan, june and October babies. You just figure it out and do your best. When my hjune baby was born there was a weird summer flu/rsv spike so even tfHen you aren't free from ddisease. You tell people to stay away if they are sick and keep everyone out of babies face. Any month will have downsides so I wouldn't worry too much.

Answer

I prefer having a baby in spring/summer. I’ve had one each and definitely don’t love having a newborn in winter. Either way they’ll get sick, but still more ickies in winter!

Answer

My oldest is an early spring bday and my youngest is an early summer. out of the two I much preferred the early summer.

Answer

My first was born in July and I loooved it! Long summer days and it was so beautiful out. Our second was born in March and it was still nice but I definitely prefer summer cuz no one is really sick and you don’t have to bundle up your baby.

Answer

They will get sick, you just have to try your best. 🙂 Also, April/May is the furthest from winter illnesses you’ll be able to get.
I think there are pluses/minuses to all seasons. My favorite was probably April because I had a longer time to become active again before winter hit and his birthday is far from any other holidays. I actually liked having a baby in December too though (much calmer!), but he was my first and pre-COVID, so we could just hunker down and avoid illness. My September baby allowed for nice fall weather to go on walks, but is a very busy birthing month and just as I was getting back into rhythm physically, it was middle of winter.
