Winter babies

[MegGriffin]

Hi ladies,

Our baby is due 8th Nov and I've had alot of people tell me "what a shame it is" that we're having a winter baby. Has anyone else experienced this?

First of all we're happy and blessed to be pregnant full stop. Secondly, I don't think I feel much like going to the park and feeding the ducks with a 1 or 2 week old anyway as I'll be recovering from the birth and getting used to life day by day with a tiny newborn. By the time the weather will be milder baby will be 5 months old + so will be able to aprecaite bgeing outside.

What difference does a newborn know, all they want is to be clean, fed, cosy and comfortable.

Besides, we can still go for walks in the winter, just wrapped up and in warm clothes.

I've never heard anything so ludicrous in my life before, how can having a winter baby be a shame? stup*d people.

It's crazy isn't it, I've also had people say how summer is a horrible time to be pregnant. I would rather be pregnant in the summer when I have to commute and be out and about and not have to bother with loads of maternity clothes (layers, coat etc), than be heavily pregnant when it's really cold and snowing and icy. I'll have baby at home with me safe and sound by then (all going well).

by the main point is - I wouldn't care when i had baby, I just feel lucky to be pregnant full stop.

What total rubbish!!!! Anytime is a blessing like the girls say but I think this time is the best, no need for extra maternity wear like jumpers and coats, and you can get all settled before xmas rolls round then when the weather gets nice you will have a 6/7 month old to take out and play with I was born december 22nd and love bein a winter baby!

WHO ON EARTH.... are they living under a rock... i mean i can think of thousands of reasons why all babies are blessed to be born day, night, summer, winter, girl or boy.
I mean i literally cannot wait to be able to celebrate (depending on whether she decides to go ridiculously overdue) halloween. I have brought so many things for my other 2, so they can enjoy a little party even with a little one. And then there is all the lovely clothing to dress them up in. If you reallllly want, you could have some fireworks of your own on bonfire evening. And don't get me started on the best time of year of them all... CHRISTMAS...

Next time i would yawn and walk away...

well i have a summer and a spring baby and trust me summer babies are a bit of a pain caus you have to keep them in the shade all the time caus you cant put sunscreen on them and your forever worried about them being too hot in the car etc... winter babies in my head are preferable as they are the right age to start spending time out in the sun ( with sunscreen ) and enjoying the outdoors looking around at things.

I love winter babies this is my 3rd winter baby, ds1 was born nye, ds2 nov 18th and this lo dd is oct 23rd. I love wrapping them up and going out for walks with them all snug in their pram and then cuddling up with newborn snuggles in front of the fire. Unless I have a section and I really hope I won't have one and as long as baby is well I will be bringing her out and about straight away and with 2 boys needing to be brought to school ect every day I don't have much choice even though DH could take some time off I would rather him in work so I can get into routine quickly.

I've had Summer babies and Winters babies. Having a Summer baby was so difficult, it was too hot to take her out and i had to strip her down to a nappy and just leave her, as even holding her made her too warm.

Im due 11th Nov and I cant wait for cosy nights in with the baby, and using the bad weather as a good excuse to just stay in and snuggle up with LO

What rubbish! Winter babys rule!

Your not massive and uncomfortable in the heat of summer, you dont have to worry so much about your new born over heating.

 

[sazibubba]

couldnt agree more with all of the posts

Just goes to show people have to comment on something pregnancy related - even when it's a load of rubbish! x

I got it too off people. We're due on 10th Dec & a few people have said 'oh expensive christmas for you and 'awwh you'll have to get two 'huge' presents' when it's here'

There's nothing wrong with having a winter baby, (we're Nov 5th ^.^) but it can make birthday's a bit more of a pain in the butt when baby is Bigger + pricey!! Our first son is a Summer baby and we have a rather small home, so having more than 4-6people in our lounge at a time (including us 3 at present, nearly 4) can be a big clostophbic to say the least!! So for our son's first birthday we had a naming ceremony (which we wanted anyway as we're non religious but wanted him to have "mentors") and a picnic in the park which was perfect as the weather was on our side!! Good old summer sun And for his second birthday we took him too the zoo and said that anyone who wanted/could come was more than welcome and again provided a picnic, and again the weather was lush!
But winter baby will not be so fortunate with these thing's as the weather will be cold and possibly very wet >.<
So even though it's easier (so to say) not worrying about the heat with a newborn and late pregnancy in summer, it's the future year's to come that will be the "issue" (is the only way i can describe) and that's probably what people are referring to when they make these comment's Not that it excuses them however, and i can only assume that these people would also be the type's to wrap someone's birthday present in christmas paper if they had a December birthday One of my many pet peeve's and i don't have a December birthday lol

What??? I lovvvve having a winter baby. My first was a winter baby and I loved that she was so snuggly in warm sleepers and blankets and caps... my second was born in May in Southern CA and he was always just sprawled on an open blanket in a onesie because it was so hot!!

You'll LOVE your snuggly winter-baby.
