I can tell you from experience that I would avoid having a baby anytime in december or january. My daughter was born a couple days before Christmas 18 years ago. Her birthday was always hard because everything was decorated Christmas and no one wants to come to birthday parties at Christmas-time. This might sound kinda trivial, but its important to kids!

I thought fall or winter was the best time to deliver since it's easier to keep a baby warm than to keep a baby cool when it's 90 degrees out. But I found out when I had my first daughter in September....they get sick SO much easier! It's the cold and flu season, so everything and everywhere is swimming with viruses! I swear she had a cold from when she was 6 weeks until spring! We went to the doctor SO many times worried and the doctor said it's common with newborns because they don't have the immune system to fight off the little colds and what not and they are always in enclosed areas with germs everywhere. So, we lived with it and just comforted her all we could. This winter she's been fine! This daughter is due in May, so I hope it's different!

I'm a guy so I can't say for sure, but I can tell you my feelings based on my wife's two pregnancies. Her first trimester was horrible, but the time of year will not make a difference when it comes to morning sickness. The second trimest was great...no problems! The third she got very uncomfortable and was always hot. I would think, based on what I said already, that if you could plan that your last tree months or pregnancy were winter months you would be happiest if for no other reason than to prevent you from always being hot.

My son was born in March, so I was pregnant all winter with him. My daughter was born in October, so I was pregnant all summer with her. I preffered being pregnant in the summer, you know why? I was more active and didn't put on as much "extra" baby weight as I did when I was pregnant with my son and was inside most of the time because of the cold/bad weather.
On a totally unrelated note, summer maternity clothes are cuter to wear then winter ones, that tend to make you look like a tent. Pregnancy already makes you feel huge, why make it worse by adding really unflattering bulky sweaters?

A lot of the time of year has to do with where you live. I live in California so winter babies weren't a big deal, it doesn't get that cold. But I'd have to say spring babies are the easiest. It is not too hot when you are really pregnant and not too hot for the babies yet. Plus they will be older when summer does hit and so you will be able to put suntan lotion on them.

It really depends on where you live. I live in FL...so being huge in the middle of summer is no picnic (though I did it twice). I enjoyed my pregnancy most when my daughter was due in May. The weather was good and then I didn't have a baby that needed to be super bundled to run errands or anything like a winter baby might need to be.

I loved my last pregnancy. I got pregnant in July and was due in March. So, for the rest of the summer, I was still not very big and still got to sit by the pool.
Then at the time I was big, I got to stay inside most of the time and gestate.
By the time he was born, it was almost spring outside and flu season was over. I still had time to get my old body back and I didn't have to worry about the baby getting too cold outside.
Spring babies are so much fun!!!!!

You sound like I did, 3 years ago. If you are thinking of trying to conceive a child, be prepared that it most likely will NOT happen right away and could take up to a year to conceive. Just start trying and be thankful whenever you conceive. It took my husband 3 years and a round of fertility drugs to conceive.

In the summer or fall (to conceive). My last baby was conceived in the spring, April. She was born in December, and I thought "never again, a winter baby!". It's flu season, everyone wants to touch and hold the baby, everyone has a cold which can easily be transmitted to you, your husband, or baby. There's nothing worse to deal with, with a newborn. Last Christmas was a nightmare because all our family was sick, but wanted to see the baby, and we had to be together to celebrate X-mas, it was a nightmare for me.

I was 8 and 9 months pregnant in the summer and hated it so I would say maybe have one in the very early months of summer that way you would be pregnant mostly in the winter months and you wouldn't be so hot!!!!
