Which months did your pregnancy flow through?

I believe that being heavily pregnant can be uncomfortable in the hot summer weather. Having a baby born in the winter the mom must make sure the baby is warm enough. I got pregnant in August 2006 and had my disabled son was born in May 2007. I think spring time is the best time in the year to have a baby born. In September 2008 I got pregnant with my daughter and she was born in June 2009. I was lucky she was born in the early summer when it wasn't really hot. My sister's first child was born in freezing cold January. She did better her second time around because that baby was born in May. Her third child was born in freezing cold November. She had a summer baby her last time because that one was born in July. She felt way too hot in the last stage of her pregnancy with that baby girl. Did you have a late stage of pregnancy in a hot summer? Which months were your babies born in?

It really doesn't matter what months your pregnant for because they are all hard and because of the hormones a lot of women are tempeture senstive so being really cold can make you really sick or really hot make you really sick. With my first oh my god I hated being in early pregnancy in the summer if I stepped out side I would have been throwing up. With my daughter I got pregnant with her at the end of May she was suppose to be born in late Febuary which is in between really cold winter and kind of cold trying to warm up. Nope I as forced into early labor by the doctors in the of January so she was a winter baby. It snowed the day she was born in 2011. With my second baby my son I was pregnant with him all winter longer from Mid December all the way till the end of August which he wasn't suppose to be born till mid September but he had other plans and wanted to be born early. So for him he is late summer early fall where it's still pretty warm out. For him it wasn't that bad but I had horriable morning sickness with him. Summer wasn't too hard for late pregnancy but I still couldn't be out all day in the sun because I would get to dehydrated which is never good when a women is pregnant in late pregnancy it can kick in early labor which happened to me even though I was sucking down water left and right. 2 days in the sun with family all day in the heat not a good thing.

It is a shame that in early pregnancy you get morning sickness. It was awful you were forced into having an early labor with your daughter. Yes, your son was born earlier too. I have a friend that had both her sons born in August. I am glad that you don't feel summer is too hard being pregnant. Yes, in pregnancy hormones can be bothersome.

Yep crazy hormones you never know how they are going to affect you till you your pregnant and go throw it. I'm hoping the next time that morning sickness is less. I'm glad I only had to deal with it for a few weeks and not the whole pregnancy like some women do.

I had my baby August which we considered as rainy season, the month is not really nice coz every time we celebrated my baby birthday its always raining like the first birthday only her cousin was able to attend and the rest rather want to stay at home due to heavy rain, the second birthday was worst due to floods and no one was coming so we only celebrate at home with my family and she was also sick that time so we used the money for her medication but my sister was good enough to pay for her birthday cake and other foods. I was so lucky with my pregnancy as it was summer though it was totally hot but lucky in the sense of fruits as there's so many fruits around and a lot cheaper so i was able to buy a lot during my pregnancy.Though it doesn't matter what month it will be as long as they are healthy and active thats all matter to me.

Your home country probably has a wet season and a dry season. I am pleased fruit is cheap in the summer time. I can see your baby was born in August which is in the rainy season. It is interesting to hear your memories of the weather for your daughter's birthdays. It was a shame on her second birthday floods happened. At the moment some rivers have overfilled due to too much rain. This has led to some flooding. Some bridges are closed and many pipes are taking the surplus water away.

I feel you although I have no experience pregnant yet, I want to say I hate to being pregnant during summer, unfortunately my country's weather is hot and wet all year round, I can only wish for there is rain, so that I can get a bit comfortable then. More advise is people usually suggest pregnant ladies to stay at home.

Good luck for having a pregnancy outside the very hot time in your home country. Summer in my home country is from June to August. One of my friends went into premature labor whilst on holiday at Christmas time. Her babies were born at 29 weeks pregnancy. They are now little girls at primary school.

I have two daughters and one was born in the winter month of January 1981 and my oldest was born in the summer month of early July 1978. Thankfully both births were not extreme cold weather or hot weather. I was born in the month of November and I believe during a bad snow storm. My mom and dad had to deal with that. In fact now that I think of it all of my mom's 5 birth except for one was born during the winter months. My one brother was born in the middle of October which is not so bad.

Your mom seemed to have many of her babies born in the winter. It was a shame you were born on the day of a snow storm. I am pleased you weren't too cold in January 1981 when your younger daughter was born. I am glad that you didn't have very hot weather in July 1978 when your older daughter was born.

Oh my, I was so fussy and uncomfortable during the last stage of my pregnancy, because it was summer time and it was surely very warm here. I was always sweating, and these hormones make it worse by causing me to stink badly. The AC was always at a very cool temp, because I just can't bear the heat. I wouldn't want to be pregnant in a winter season, either. i think it will also be just as uncomfortable.

I didn't have a preference what month i got pregnant in..I was just happy when we finally found out that I was pregnant with my first son. He was born in November 3, 2010 but my husband an i thought we were going have him around December 14,..He was born six weeks premature so he had to stay at a hospital for 10 days for close observation.. I wanted him to be born in December because i always wanted to have a December baby..The weather didn't have an effect on me since i stayed home most of the time after he was born..I got pregnant around March, so it made my pregnancy a little bit easier since it was still warm enough..I didn't want to risk slipping on ice if i got pregnant around winter time..that's just my opinion.

When me and my wife started thinking on having a baby we also thought about which months will my wife will be pregnant. We didn't wanted that her to be in her last trimester on summer. Where we live the days on summer can easily be over 104 degrees Fahrenheit. It is very uncomfortable and I can't imagine how uncomfortable it could be for a pregnant woman. We thought that March could be a good month for her to deliver and what happened was that our baby girl was born on late february. It was cold but It was ok for her and my wife.

All of my 4 sons were born in the last quarter of the year, so it was pretty much convenient for them. I just felt uncomfortable while I was pregnant during the summer. I had to take the shower about 5 times a day just to make me feel comfortable.

My daughter was born July 22 so I was very pg in the summer. It was a record-breaking hot summer and I was pretty miserable. Our air conditioning broke and I can remember my usually calm husband yelling at the HVAC guy that he had better get there now! My son was born Nov. 10 and I was much more comfortable. It did get chilly and the only coat I could get into was a huge blue cape. On Halloween a little boy at the school where I worked saw it and asked what I was supposed to be. I felt like a blue whale.

Summer in the Philippines falls on March and April... My son was born on June. And yes, I did experienced those hot summer pregnancy days. And unfortunately, those were also the days that we experienced power supply shortage, so there were scheduled brownouts for about 2 hours a day. i can really remember how I suffered from it. I do not want to move a lot. All my officemates are going out chatting around because our office is really dark inside if lights are off. And all I want to do is to stay seated so I will not be using my energy and get sweat. When the lights are on, I immediately go to the comfort room and remove my tops and sprinkle myself with water just to refresh myself. My second baby was born January. so it wasn't a problem...

I agree that being heavily pregnant during the summer can be miserable. My oldest son was born in June and my younger son in August. I was much more miserable while pregnant with my younger son. Mainly because my oldest was 2 and wanted to be outside playing all the time. It was a lot easier when I was pregnant with my oldest son, since it was the beginning of the summer and I could stay inside and keep cool whenever I wanted. I think the timing was also better with my oldest. We stayed inside out of the heat a lot when he was a newborn. And then when it started cooling off in the fall he was old enough to take outside more to enjoy the nice weather.
