When to get pregnant?

[434Teresa]

I would wait until afer we go for you cant ride the ride safely if you are prego.

And I would also want my child to be born in the spring or summer months, it seems they do better in school and with other then the kids born in the winter months for some reason.

Thanks for the clarification losaleen :)
As much as I do want another baby like NOW, i am going to put it off for another year so I can get my health better. I just want to go into the pregnancy healthy. Thats my biggest concern. If i went to disneyworld pregnant or with a newborn, it might not be as fun, but I would deal with it. If I get pregnant afterwards I would be happy, if it doesnt happen, then I guess it's not meant to be.

Thanks for all your opinions everyone. Glad to see what you all thought :)

I completely understand wanting to lose weight before having another baby. We want one more...but I will not get pregnant on purpose at the weight I am right now. I never gain weight except when I'm pregnant...and since losing my gall bladder...I don't lose the weight after the baby comes...so no way on earth...am I going to risk adding another 40lbs to me right now.

What on earth? I have never heard of such a thing.

its true at least around here..I was told this years ago and was like you..I have a 16 year old(summer) that makes friends easy,dose great in school and has a postive outlook on things, then I have a 14 year old(winter) that dont have many friends, struggles in school and is out right neg person about just about everything. I am summer baby and look on the postive side of things their dad was a winter baby and is the same as my 14 year is.....I also know others that have winter and summer babies and there kids are like this also, then I know people that have only one and their kids are about the same based on when they were born.

I like having babies in spring...cause it avoids the whole...pregnant in summer thing...

I got two kids and If one thing I could change its I would keep myself in shape before trying to get a baby. I had a big baby belly and my last pregnancy was kind na on bed rest for the last month of baby be born.


I think everyone thinks healthy is come first then you'll truly enjoy vacation and pregnant as the same time !

Losaleen- we do want another one. I don't see how you can't plan a baby? I am on birthcontrol and can plan on not getting pregnant and then get off of it and start trying. So how is that not planning? Not trying to be rude...can't show emotion on the web lol. I guess im just a bit confused.
I am losing weight for health reasons for both me and baby (if and when i get pregnant)
I am only considering all of these options because i want my family and I to enjoy disney world. im just trying to be fair to everyone.

I can answer this. Just because you stop taking birth control does NOT mean you will get pregnant, even if you've been pregnant 1, 2 or 10 times before.
It took hubby and I almost 5 YEARS to get pregnant w#2. We stopped using b/c after she was 6 months old and weren't preggo w/#3 until she was 3 1/2. We stopped after she was 3 months old and I didn't get preggo with #4 until she was 2 1/2.

So, just because you want to get pregnant doesn't mean it will just happen right away. Trust me. We also did fertility drugs with #2 that never worked. So while you can stop taking b/c, you can't really PLAN on when you'll end up preggo.

Now, I'd never go to Disney while pregnant or with a newborn. I was actually pregnant w/#2 while at Disney in 2005. I didn't know I was pregnant, rode all the rides, just thought I was getting sick b/c of motion sickness (which does happen to me). Come home and find out THE day we got home that I was pregnant.
In 2005 #2 was 3 1/2 and she was a holy terror there. We went back in 2008 when #3 was 26 months old. She was pretty good. We're planning on another trip next year for our 15th anniversary. The kids will be 17, 9, 5 and almost 2.

So I guess I'd probably wait to get pregnant, but I'm not good at waiting. LOL I'd want to start trying ASAP and then deal with the trip if I was pregnant, I guess. I've seen tons of ppl with newborns at Disney, I'm not sure how much fun you'd have. As far as the baby goes, he/she would probably sleep most of the time at the parks so that probably wouldn't be an issue. You just might be sleepy from getting up for middle of the night feedings.

You could always start trying while at Disney next year.

if it were me, i would lose weight before getting pregnant again. (speaking from the heavy side here w/ one child) and i would also wait to start trying until may 2011 to conceive. This way you'd be 3-4 mo pregnant if you happen to conceive right away and the morning sickness would be clearing up and you would not be in your 3rd trimester traveling-- aka hot & miserable in the florida sun!

so i guess my choice is option #3.

I wish you the best of luck conceiving.
