Is it better to have a baby in the winter or in the summer ?

Answer 1

I think its better to have the baby in the spring. This way you avoid being pregnant in the hot summertime, but you still get to go out and take walks in the park and stuff because the weather is so great.
Having the baby in spring also means your pregnant in the wintertime, which is great, because when you are big and pregnant and feeling tired, you wanna just stay home sometimes and cuddle with a blanket on the couch.. Its so comforting. Its nice to hibernate for a few months!

Answer 2

I've had two opposite pregnancies. I was due in March just a few weeks ago and Septermber a couple of years ago. Depending on where you live and the weather- if you DO have hard summers and winters, I much prefer giving birth in the spring so that by summer I can be back to a normal weight and be out and about. Having a baby in September only gave me a little while before the weather got bad and I was stuck inside. I'd say that being pregnant in the winter is easier beacuse you can wear oversized clothing and 'nest'. In the summer, your body temperature is already wacked out so it's a lot harder because there is no relief.

If I had to do it again? I'd give birth again in March. Perfect timing in my opinion.

Winter babies are awesome tax deductions (before Jan 1 obviously), but you have to wait an extra year for them to get into school. Most schools have a deadline sometime in September. A lot of hospitals have scholarship pools for babies who are born first in the year. But you have to be VERY pregnant when there's ice and snow. Consider getting to the hospital in a snowstorm. I actually was forced to stay in the hospital, because there was a storm the day I was supposed to leave. You also have to worry about your baby getting sick more often in the winter. My full term baby came down with RSV and had to be rushed to children's hospital, in a snow storm, at 3 weeks old.

Summer babies, you have to be VERY pregnant when it is the hottest, but you save money on clothes. You have to worry about sunburn and over heating. Diaper rash clears up rather nicely. Your child will hate having a birthday when no one is around to come to the party (summer break), but you don't have to worry about people not coming due to the weather.

Answer 4

I had my daughter in February and I loved being pregnant in the fall and winter. I am a cold natured person but somehow having that little body within me was like a fire inside warming me up.

My mother had my sister in August. We lived in California at the time and I remember her wanting to stay inside next to the air condition, wearing short sleeves, and only making short trips outside. That extra body inside you warms you during the winter but there is no way to turn off the extra warmth in the summer.

So, the answer from me is winter but you can not tell whenever you will become pregnant.

Answer 5

Depends on the individual, but i was very happy to be pregnant for my 2nd and 3rd timester in the winter because you get so hot anyway. Being 9 months pregnant in August must be torture with the heat.

Plus being pregnant in the winter means a lot of you sweaters and such can still be used more so than summer clothes.

Answer 6

End of winter early spring so between March and May is best my children were born in June, May, March, and July and giving birth in March and May was alot better the weather isn't to cold that you are cooped up in the house and it's not too hot that I want to stay in the house under the air conditioner, it's was miserable in my last trimesters in June and especially July. I live in Maryland and it starts to get very hot at the end of May and July and August is the worst.

Answer 7

I would think in the summer because if you have a baby in the winter then it could get sick easyier because like of the cold weather ad stuff so i would say summer

Answer 8

I think I would've chosen to be pregnant in the winter..hopefully the second child we have will be in the winter then!! I have to go through all the way in October being pregnant..and with how i'm like dyin' of heat at only 70 degrees..lets see what happenes when it gets 90 something degrees with the same temperature in humdity here in WI. Ugh. >.<

Answer 9

my first and second sons were born in october, and i didnt really like having to go thru the summer months being big cuz its sooo miserable being BIG, hot, and sweaty! my third son was born in february and i have to say that it was more comfortable but i didnt like having to get the baby out in the cold and i couldnt go on walks or anything (to try to loose my weight, lol). my fourth son was born in july and i was miserable by the time i had him cuz it was so HOT!!! my fifth son was born in march and that wasnt bad, cuz i was big in the winter months but it warmed up a little over a month after i had him. this baby is due in may, so ive been pregnant during the winter months and when my due date comes along it should just be getting hot outside, so i shouldnt get to miserable but yet i will have her at a good time to be able to get out and take walks (to loose my weight!!!)

Answer 10

winter has holidays, bad roads, inlaws who get to have champagne at new years and expensive maternity coats and such,,summer gets really hot, and you can feel dizzy and swell up like no way but ice cream tastes the best in the summer... fall ditto you get to go through a whole summer of heat to get there, spring like say may june time is my ideal you dont get big till the snow begins to melt birthday parties will be a good time of year and it isnt too hot or cold to walk
