Well, as long as I can deliver before August, I'm good.

As soon as you are ovulating you need to start. If you are ovulating today, your baby would be born around June 1st. It depends on your last period, go to this site and it will show you when you should conceived based on your last period. Good luck. I'm a school teacher too (9 weeks pregnant) and I get 6 weeks of maternity leave, but I have to use my sick leave for my 6 weeks. This is very important, go sign up for your short term disability NOW at your school and you will get 66.6 percent of your pay when on maternity leave. I believe your work has to give you at least 6 weeks of leave and short term disability will pay for that as long as you signed up before you were pregnant. But you need to sign up now because most school districts will only let you sign up till the first of October.

You should start trying now and don't stress about the date. You should check one of the sites that can predict dates easily for you, like babycenter.com
Babies can be early and late, so don't stress too much about the date. If you're a teacher for a public school, check your disability plan as you may have some additional weeks available at partial pay.
If you have the summer off, that will give you at least 8 weeks to spend with your child before returning to work. Your school district may also allow you to take Family Medical Leave, you should investigate all of the options. You may also be able to save your sick days to use towards leave as well.

I also work in a school and wanted to plan on having a baby close to summer. I began TTC 3 months ago and so far no luck. But I have been playing around on different websites that say if you get pregnant this month, it would be due this month. So like others said, I think you'd want to be pregnant in Oct to deliver in June.
Best of luck to you!!

Probably about now would be a good time, maybe even a little late for June 2007. It also depends on the first day of your last period - pregnancy generally lasts for 40 weeks from the first day of your last period, or 38 weeks from conception. Keep in mind that less than 50% of women actually give birth on their due date.
I hope this is of some help. Good luck with it!

The I would start now. You would need to be pregnant by the beginning of October, to have a baby by the first part of June. But sometimes this takes awhile. So don't wait! And have fun! ;)

You need to get pregnant 3 months after the point on the calendar you want to deliver.
Good luck with that.
