Anyone planning to avoid any birthday months?

[KalonKiki]

I would love to have a baby in each season. Fortunately I lucked out with DS and got a late September baby (my birthday is in late October and DF's is in late November so it's really nice to have all of our birthdays be about a month apart at least if they are all going to be packed in the same season) so now I just need my Spring and Summer babies. If we decide to go for a 4th then we will try for a January, February, or March baby. I wouldn't mind another Spring or Summer baby if we didn't catch straight away though. It's mostly just December and birthday months that I would want to avoid.

I have been trying for 4 months despite originally planningon waiting till Dec to try. Going to stop trying for current cycle as an August baby would not be great for us. for two reasons...

1. I worry about an August baby academically being so much younger than peers.

2. Being a teacher I would start maternity leave just before the holidays and would lose out on the pay I would have ghot a anyway. I would be wasting 6 weeks of maternity pay. If I wait for a Sept baby I can have the 6 weeks off just before the birth and then start maternity leave on the 4th Sept when school restarts and fully benefit from maternity leave. Basically we would lose £2000 if it was an August baby!!

So I'm taking a one month break and can be back in action in 29 days to be precise! Not sure how this will work with ovulation as I am still trying to sort my cycle out since coming off the pill!
