When to conceive a baby to give birth in July. Is autumn suitable for conceiving a child? Let's make plans together

Young people, when thinking about having a child, often think about the baby’s horoscope. How to plan the zodiac sign of your unborn child? In this article you will find a table of zodiac signs by date of conception, as well as an astrologer’s opinion on whether you need to plan anything at all.

The most favorable is considered to be the compatibility of signs of the same element:

For example, if the parents are Taurus and Virgo, then presumably the best option for the child would be one of the signs of the Earth element.

The compatibility of zodiac signs of related elements is considered favorable. Fire is with Air, and Earth is with Water.

Sometimes women ask an astrologer about fertile periods. To give birth to an Aries, you need to conceive in what month? Or to give birth to a Libra child? You will find the answer in the table below.

Table for determining the zodiac sign by date of conception

Is it worth planning your child's horoscope?

Many expectant mothers diligently calculate successful dates for conception so that the baby is born under the “correct” sign. But is it worth doing this? Is such forethought necessary?

The chosen zodiac sign does not guarantee that your relationship with your child will be ideal. Astrologers know that character is influenced not only by the position of the Sun in his horoscope (this is the same zodiac sign we are familiar with), but also by the position of the Moon and planets.

Depending on how all these celestial bodies are located at the time of birth, the child’s horoscope may turn out to be harmonious or complex. Every minute matters. Even babies born within half an hour of each other have significantly different fates.

It is obvious that the exact date and time of birth is impossible to predict, even with planned conception. Now we are not talking about a caesarean section (more on that below). The horoscope of a newborn will be as fate wills.

What conclusion follows from this? There is no point in planning the zodiac sign of your unborn child.

In my opinion, it is better to rely on the will of fate. Give her the opportunity to determine the best option for conception and birth for you.

Zodiac sign planning example

Future parents Taurus (Earth) and Capricorn (Earth). After consulting, they decided that they wanted a Taurus child. But fate decreed that the baby was born after the end of the Taurus period, his zodiac sign is Gemini (Air).

It would seem that the compatibility of Gemini with Taurus and Capricorn is problematic. However, in our example, in the baby's horoscope, several key planets were in Taurus. That is, this child’s character is very similar to Taurus, as the parents wanted.

At the same time, a few of the qualities of Gemini will be very useful for the child - he will be more active and versatile than the classic Taurus.

Question: who lost from the described turn of fate? Nobody. Everyone won. But the situation could have turned out differently. The baby would have been born Taurus, but the key planets ended up in Aries (Fire). Nothing wrong with that. However, compatibility with parents is significantly worse than the first option.

What dates are not suitable for conception?

There are no special restrictions here. However, conception on the days of eclipses, as well as 3 days before and 3 days after an eclipse, is undesirable. Below are eclipse dates for several years in advance.

When can an astrologer help?

It makes sense to contact an astrologer in a situation where you are about to have a caesarean section. Usually in such cases, doctors offer a choice of two or three dates.

The astrologer will analyze the dates taking into account the expected time of the operation and will tell you which date is more favorable for the birth of the baby. Which of the horoscopes will be the most harmonious?

Of course, the choice here is very limited - only two or three options. But still, an astrologer will help you avoid the most unfavorable of dates. Of course, to solve such an important issue, you should choose a good astrology specialist.

I wish you and your children health and prosperity!

When is the best time to get pregnant? This question increasingly worries people, both women and men, who dream of having a child: after all, we no longer classify the idea of family planning as purely theoretical. Modern people do not have an overly healthy lifestyle: we take a variety of medications, are exposed to harmful factors at work, sometimes allow ourselves some, frankly, excesses in the form of alcohol and nicotine, etc. That is why people are increasingly thinking about planning the continuation of their own family - in order to maximally protect the unborn child from the consequences of all these harmful circumstances, if possible excluding them from their lives in advance. There are many considerations that influence the choice of the optimal time, from the point of view of future parents, for conceiving (and, accordingly, giving birth) to a child - from general medical to purely personal, and sometimes funny. Let's make a reservation right away: there is no scientifically proven ideal time for conception. Moreover, “unplanned” but desired children are healthy, smart and loved no less than “planned” ones. However, we will try to consider those factors that most often influence the choice of time for conception. The timing of conception may be determined by various medical considerations. Let's list some of them.

Time elapsed after discontinuation of contraceptives

It is believed that after discontinuation of oral contraceptives, as well as after removal of the intrauterine device, it is advisable to refrain from conceiving for 2-3 cycles. During this time, the hormonal and vitamin-mineral balance is normalized, which is affected by oral contraceptives, and the uterine wall and the activity of the fallopian tubes, which changes under the influence of the IUD, are restored. After using pastspermicides, conception can be planned in the next cycle (pregnancy that occurs while using these contraceptives may be complicated by developmental defects in the fetus), and barrier contraceptives such as a condom and a diaphragm do not in any way affect the likelihood of conceiving a healthy child.

Time elapsed since the birth of the previous child

According to WHO recommendations, at least two years should pass between childbirth and the conception of the next child. After a caesarean section, the two-year interval must be observed especially strictly. In addition, it is important to remember that it is advisable to observe a six-month break between stopping breastfeeding and conception. It is during this period that the female body is fully restored and is able to face the hardships of the next pregnancy without harmful stress.

Time elapsed since the previous pregnancy was terminated

It is believed that after an interrupted pregnancy - regardless of whether the abortion was spontaneous (miscarriage) or artificial - you need to wait six months before the next attempt to conceive a child. This time is best used to correct those disorders that led to a miscarriage or were an indication for artificial termination of pregnancy.

Cycle day

The magazine “9 MONTHS” has repeatedly talked about the fact that conception is possible on strictly defined days of the cycle, coinciding with ovulation. It would seem that there is nothing to choose here. However, if you are having trouble conceiving, it may be worth asking yourself first: “Are we choosing the right time? Are we missing this very ovulation? Usually ovulation occurs two weeks before the next menstrual bleeding (with an ovarian-menstrual cycle of 28 days, the moment of ovulation coincides with its middle), that is, if your cycle is 28-30 days, then the best time for conception is 14-16 day, but this date may vary depending on the individual characteristics of the woman. There are a variety of methods for determining the moment of ovulation - from measuring basal temperature (in the morning, without getting out of bed, measure the temperature in the rectum; the moment it rises indicates ovulation) to a home ovulation test (the test is based on determining an increase in the level of luteinizing hormone). Your chances of conceiving are greatest within 48 hours of a positive home test result. If you really want to conceive a boy or a girl, you need to keep in mind that the sex of the child is determined by the sex chromosome located in the sperm. The lifespan and motility of sperm carrying different sex chromosomes are different. Sperm carrying the X chromosome (female) remain viable longer in the female genital tract (on average 48-72 hours), but are less mobile. Y-sperm (male) are more mobile, but live shorter (on average 24-36 hours). Therefore, those who want to definitely give birth to a boy can be advised to have sex on the day of ovulation. For couples dreaming of a daughter, it makes sense to indulge in this activity 2-3 days before ovulation, and during ovulation to refrain from sexual relations. Of course, it cannot be said that this method provides a 100% guarantee, but following these recommendations somewhat increases the likelihood of having a child of the desired gender.

Age

Of course, everyone has heard such expressions as “early pregnancy” and “late pregnancy” at some point. Apparently, there is a certain golden mean - the age that is optimal for having a child. Indeed, although a woman is capable of childbearing from the moment of puberty (11-12 years) until the extinction of menstrual function (48-50 years), the ideal age for giving birth to a child is considered to be the period from 20 to 35 years. This is due both to the physiological characteristics of the female body (after all, pregnancy is not just the process of carrying a child in the uterus, it is a restructuring of all organs and systems), and to psychological and social factors. We should not forget that, according to statistics, a woman over 35 years of age increases the risk of having a child with genetic disorders (for example, the likelihood of having a child with Down syndrome doubles). For men, this age threshold occurs later. Currently, the world is actively studying the influence of age on the reproductive abilities of men. Although it is too early to talk about final results, it has been proven that already at the age of 50, the number of sperm in the ejaculate, and therefore the ability to fertilize, significantly decreases in men. Therefore, when thinking about when you would like to conceive a child, take into account the age of both yours and your partner.

Season

Here you can give different reasoning and arguments. Conceiving a child in autumn It is favorable in that the expectant mother meets the hardships of pregnancy well-rested, her body is saturated with vitamins, strengthened by summer vacation, which usually involves leaving the city and increasing physical activity. The last, most difficult trimester of pregnancy occurs in the pleasant spring period, when there is no longer a need to carry a heavy fur coat, there is no danger of slipping and falling on an ice-crusted sidewalk, but at the same time, that sweltering summer heat has not yet begun, which can aggravate the development of gestosis second half of pregnancy.

The baby will be born in late spring - summer, which is good from the point of view of preventing rickets. There is an opinion that the favorable course of the third trimester is facilitated by the high concentration of melatonin in the maternal blood, a hormone of the pineal gland, released in the dark. With winter conception, pregnancy is deprived of this advantage, which is undoubtedly present if the child is conceived in the spring and his birth is expected in late autumn or winter. Spring conception occurs against the background of a lack of vitamins (therefore, you should consult your doctor in advance and ask him to select the appropriate vitamin complex for you). In summer, the pregnancy period is not yet very long, so the season is more likely to favor the course of pregnancy (we have already listed: vitamins, rest, etc.). We have already spoken about the main advantage of pregnancy, the end of which falls in the fall - beginning of winter (increased melatonin content in the body ). The disadvantages include the increased risk of ARVI and flu, as well as slippery (in winter) streets and the need to wear heavy winter clothing. But a baby born in winter, although deprived of the opportunity to walk in the fresh air and receive a sufficient amount of sunlight immediately after birth, is protected from viral diseases (which are not uncommon in winter and early spring) thanks to maternal antibodies, which he receives with milk. The same advantage is enjoyed by a child conceived in winter and born, accordingly, in the fall. Winter conception also needs to be “fortified” beforehand. The hot summer months, which occur in the second half of pregnancy, may cause some inconvenience (the likelihood of a more severe course of late gestosis). Summer Conception is favored by the abundance of natural vitamins in the first trimester of pregnancy, while the last months occur at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, when the dark time of day is still very long, and, therefore, the content of melatonin in the body is high. True, at this time the streets may still be slippery, and the likelihood of influenza and ARVI epidemics remains. But a newborn baby will be delighted by the spring sun (a natural prevention of rickets), and summer fruits and vegetables will saturate mother’s milk with vitamins.

It is possible that we have lost sight of some considerations about the pros and cons of this or that time of year from the point of view of conception. However, we hope that the very principle of constructing an argument is clear to you, just as it is clear that choosing the ideal time is very difficult. However, in our opinion, the best time to conceive is the end of summer - the beginning of autumn (the birth of a child occurs at the end of spring - the beginning of summer).

Other

Of course, the listed factors do not exhaust the entire set of arguments that guide couples planning to conceive. Sometimes career considerations come to the fore (“I’m just at the beginning of my journey, I have such prospects, I’ll achieve this and that, then I can think about having a child”), material opportunities (“a child is so expensive, Let’s earn some extra money, and then...”). Someone certainly wants their child to be born under a certain zodiac sign and carefully calculates the time of conception based on the desired time of birth. There are times when parents dream that the birth of their child will coincide (or in no case coincide) with some holiday or birthday of one of the older children or other family members. Sometimes a future father (or future mother), whose birthday falls in the summer months, having “suffered” in childhood from the inability to share this holiday with school friends (after all, everyone leaves in the summer), seeks to save his child from a similar fate and plans conception accordingly... In general - compare, weigh the pros and cons, plan! In conclusion, I would just like to remind you once again: no matter what considerations you are guided by when planning the time of conceiving a child, do not forget about the need to undergo a medical examination before pregnancy(both future parents need it): agree, parents should be sure that they have done everything possible to ensure that their baby is born healthy!

Popular opinions on the optimal time of conception vary. Some say that it is better to get pregnant in the summer and give birth in the spring: in the warmth, under the rays of the summer sun, the baby will quickly get stronger. Others, on the contrary, consider pregnancy in the cold season to be risky: the expectant mother spends less time in the fresh air, eats less vegetables and herbs, and there is no need to talk about the lack of sunlight. What do scientists think about this?

It is better not to get pregnant from January to March

In the UK, they analyzed the performance statistics of more than 800 thousand Scottish schoolchildren for the years 2006-2011. It turned out that children conceived from January to March (and born, respectively, in late autumn or early winter) studied worse than their peers by an average of 7.6%. Doctors sent these observations to the authoritative journal American Journal of Epidemiology, adding their thoughts on the reasons for this phenomenon.

” According to the researchers, the main problem was a lack of vitamin D in infants, the synthesis of which decreased significantly in winter.

Apparently Scottish paediatricians are not warning Scottish mums about the need , this is especially important for children in the first months of life. If the British hypothesis is correct, then only a few tens of micrograms of this substance - and no problems with the performance of the “Christmas gifts”!

It's better to conceive at Christmas than on summer holiday

In 2015, at a meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in Baltimore, pediatrician Paul Winchester presented the results of his long-term (more precisely, 12-year) study. The research team analyzed data on 52 million pregnancies (no matter how dubious this figure may sound - let's leave it to the professor's conscience) and found that the best months for conception are December and January. According to their data, children born in the fall are more physically active (nothing is known about academic performance, which was given so much attention in the previous study). Scientists explain everything, again, by the availability of vitamin D, but not for the newborn, but for the mother during pregnancy During the last months of the summer, she stores up this “sunshine vitamin” for both herself and her baby, and in addition, she eats fresh vegetables and fruits, which improves the quality of mother’s milk.

” Moreover, the Americans also studied almost half a million cases of conception using IVF and found that the highest percentage of successful attempts was among couples who carried out the procedure from December to February. True, it is not clear why.

But Professor Winchester does not like summer conception at all; in his opinion, in the first trimester, when both mother and fetus are especially vulnerable, the woman is forced to breathe dust raised by cars and agricultural pesticides, which can be quite far from the cultivated fields. The last months of pregnancy in this case will fall during the winter, flu season and .

Probably the most interesting part of the report was the statistics on the dependence of the number of births on the season throughout the 20th century.

” It turns out that 100 years ago the hot month for midwives was March. However, starting in the 30s, more and more newborns were born in the fall, which Dr. Winchester explained by the spread of the same harmful pesticides.

Avoid conceiving in May in favor of June

Were you planning to get pregnant in the summer? Here's a study by Janet Curry and Hannes Schwandt from Princeton University! These two scientific ladies are economists, so they were not particularly interested in medical aspects, but their statistical methods are impeccable. To rule out the influence of sociocultural factors, they examined data on births between 1994 and 2006 in the states of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. From the entire data set, they made a sample of those families in which several children were born during this period at different times of the year.

It turned out that those babies who were conceived in May had the worst time. 13% more occurs in January and February than in other months. The unfavorable seasonal factor of conception made itself felt back in January, and throughout the winter and spring months everything increased, reaching a peak in May.

” But, starting in June, conception leads to a normal pregnancy duration and the birth of more well-fed babies. Children conceived in the summer weigh on average 8 grams more at birth than their peers - a trifle, but nice!

However, it may not be a matter of the month of conception at all, but rather the month in which the birth occurs. The Christmas holidays are the peak of the flu epidemic, and respiratory viral diseases provoke preterm birth.

Such data was presented by Dr. Hayagriv Simhan from the School of Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. He noted that in 2009, when the H1N1 epidemic arrived two months earlier than usual, the decline in gestation length also occurred earlier. "I think this is a reason » , said the scientist.

Well, have you decided on the time of conception? We, in turn. We are sure that any pregnancy can be healthy and happy if you carefully monitor your health, follow all the doctor’s instructions and think only about good things. And statistics are just statistics! However. Perhaps you have your own statistical observations? Share them!

Prepared by Ekaterina Ershova

During the winter months - December, January, February - the baby will most likely be born in the fall. In this case, the first months of pregnancy occur at a time when influenza and other infectious diseases are in the midst of an epidemic, and the embryo in the first weeks is very sensitive to viruses. It should also be taken into account that the baby will be born in the fall - this is not the most pleasant time of year: slush, rain, cloudy days contribute to the development of postpartum depression in the mother.

However, the last trimester of pregnancy, if it occurs in the autumn months, is easier, since gestosis proceeds well, insomnia is rare, and less swelling appears.

Conception in spring

If you conceive a child in April or May, he will be born next winter. Among the disadvantages is the fact that parents’ bodies do not receive enough vitamins in the spring, which may affect the health of their son or daughter. But this problem is easily solved by choosing a good multivitamin and proper nutrition. Also in the spring, the risk of getting a cold or flu is also quite high, so you need to protect yourself well from diseases. And in the last months of pregnancy, a woman needs to carefully monitor her safety: in winter, the risk of falls and injuries increases due to slippery roads.

But in winter, the body produces a lot of melatonin, which has a beneficial effect in the last trimester of pregnancy, also reducing insomnia and preventing the development of complications.

In addition, cold in the last stages is more easily tolerated than heat.

Conception in summer

If in the summer, then the birth will take place in the spring. Doctors call this time of conception the most prosperous - the mother and father’s bodies receive a large amount of vitamins and a sufficient amount of sun, do not get sick and are full of strength, so the foundations are laid for the birth of a healthy and strong child. But his birth, on the contrary, occurs during a period of hypovitaminosis and influenza epidemics, which can lead to the occurrence of diseases in the first months of life.

Conception in autumn

If conception occurs in the fall, then the child is born in the summer - in June, July or. From the point of view of the health of parents, this is an excellent time; after the summer, the body is refreshed with vitamins and filled with solar energy, although there is a rather difficult time ahead, dangerous due to viral diseases. And a pregnant woman will have to experience all the difficulties of the last trimester, which falls in the summer: heat, long daylight hours that prevent you from falling asleep at night and interfering with the production of melatonin, swelling. But when the baby is born, at first it will be easier to care for him - you don’t need to dress him in warm clothes, protect him from colds, and you don’t need to wear heavy clothes yourself.

There comes a time in the life of almost every woman when she thinks about having a child. So that the news of pregnancy does not take you by surprise, you should thoroughly prepare for this event and, first of all, choose the right time for conception.

And the years fly by...

Doctors consider the optimal age for the first pregnancy to be between 21 and 26 years. By this time, puberty has been completed, hormonal levels have been stabilized, the body is young, not burdened with any chronic diseases, the tissues of the ligaments and joints are elastic, which facilitates the normal course of pregnancy and childbirth. However, in most developed countries of the world, the age of women expecting their first child is increasing. The reason is the reluctance of women to interrupt their education and the desire to make a career. Therefore, the time of birth of the first child is postponed until after 30, or even after 35 years.

Late motherhood (and we are talking specifically about the first birth), of course, has its advantages: a woman approaches the birth of her first child, as a rule, responsibly, she already has an established career, good financial security. This is usually more “conscious” motherhood. However, the noticeable “aging” of first-time mothers causes concern among doctors: while emotionally and psychologically there are no objections, then physiologically a younger age is optimal for the first birth. A number of weighty arguments convince us that it is not worth postponing the birth of the first baby until a distant “later”: firstly, the ability to conceive decreases with age, and it is more difficult for a woman to become pregnant, and secondly, in women over 35-40 years of age, the likelihood of various gene disorders at the level of germ cells. This can cause congenital diseases, including genetic ones, and developmental defects in the child. Women over 35 years of age are more likely to experience complications during pregnancy; while pregnant, chronic diseases may first appear. A complicated pregnancy also adversely affects the health of the child.

Previously, it was believed that the age of the father has less influence on the health of the unborn baby. Considering the exposure of modern man to the massive impact of a number of unfavorable factors: poor ecology, stress, the harmful effects of alcohol, smoking, etc., it has been noted that fertility (the ability to fertilize) even in relatively young men - 30-40 years old - is significantly reduced .

In determining the best time to conceive, the most important thing is your conscious decision to give birth to a child. The need to plan for a future pregnancy is accepted by many spouses. How to determine the optimal moment that will not only ensure the maximum probability of conception, but will also contribute to the successful course of the entire pregnancy and its timely completion with an easy birth, the birth of a healthy and desired baby?

We'll take a little rest...

It is recommended to plan your next vacation before the critical period of pregnancy. Travel, flights, changes in climate and time zones can adversely affect pregnancy and the developing body of the baby. If you and your husband are lovers of extreme sports and recreation, then you need to remember that difficult hiking conditions, carrying heavy loads, mountain descents, rafting on wild rivers with high rapids, etc. can be very dangerous for the expectant mother. You should also minimize the possibility of injury, because you will be responsible not only for your life, but also for the life and health of your unborn child.

If you have not yet taken your next annual leave, then it would be rational to add it to your maternity leave, thereby saving yourself from daily work duties, commuting to work, getting up early in the morning, traveling on public transport, etc.

If you are still studying and it is not possible to plan the time of conception and pregnancy for “after-school time,” then it is advisable to calculate the time of pregnancy so that the birth occurs during the holidays. There are many cases where female students did not even interrupt their studies after giving birth. Of course, this cannot be done without the help of relatives who would stay with the baby while the mother attends classes. In addition, many new and important responsibilities fall on the shoulders of a young mother, and she also needs to recover after childbirth. Therefore, the additional burden of attending classes is obviously unnecessary.

Before planning the time of pregnancy and childbirth, you should talk with your family and friends - whether any of them can help you with the child, stay at home with him if you go back to study after the holidays without a sabbatical leave. Mothers who were students during pregnancy are not advised to plan a pregnancy during the period of state exams and thesis defense. Expecting a baby is not the best time for such a tense and nervous period, and although most teachers and members of the examination committee take into account the special situation of the student, it is unlikely that the examinee will be able to completely avoid anxiety, and even among the examiners there may be people with different views. Why do you need unnecessary worries?

Help Wanted!

The need for help in the first weeks and months after childbirth is felt especially acutely by many mothers: the load on a woman’s body after childbirth, during the period of lactation, is too great. In addition, it is necessary to quickly master the basics of caring for a baby, the rules of breastfeeding, etc. Therefore, when planning pregnancy and childbirth, discuss your plans with relatives, such as future grandparents. Their help can be invaluable.

Help will be especially needed if there is a short interval between births, when the eldest child is still small and requires increased attention. Solving many problems is greatly facilitated if one of the grandparents has already retired and does not mind babysitting their little grandson or granddaughter. Perhaps one of your relatives will be able to go on vacation after the birth of your baby, and in the future you will resolve the issue with a nanny or learn to manage on your own.

What does it cost us to build a house?

In these times of expensive housing, the housing problem for many young couples is especially acute. Think over and decide the issue of where you will live with the new family member, preferably before pregnancy and childbirth. It is recommended to renovate the room where the baby's crib will be located. Many pregnant women undertake repairs on their own while expecting a child. This is not rational, since it would be optimal to completely avoid contact with various building materials and derivatives of the paint and varnish industry during pregnancy. Many organic solvents, widely used in construction and repair work, have a negative impact on human health; however, they can cause allergic and toxic reactions during their application and drying, until the solvent completely evaporates. Therefore, this problem should be solved before pregnancy, or it should be dealt with by one of the family members of the expectant mother, and not by herself.

If you are renting a home, you should keep in mind that for some time after giving birth, the entire financial burden of providing for your family will fall on the shoulders of your spouse. In addition, expenses associated with the birth of a baby (expenses for disposable diapers, baby clothes, etc.) will be added to the rent for housing. However, this problem can be solved by taking care of it in advance (your friends whose children have already grown up will probably willingly give you clothes for babies), and the best and cheapest food is mother’s breast milk!

Seasons

When planning the time of conception, take into account the fact that your baby will be born in the season preceding this event: if conception occurs in the winter, then the child will be born in the fall, if in the spring, the birth date will be in the winter months, if in the summer, the birth of the baby should be expected in the spring, and if in the fall, you will celebrate the birthday of a new family member in the summer. However, each season has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Conception in winter - birth in autumn. Conception and the first months of pregnancy occur during an epidemiologically unfavorable season - the height of the incidence of ARVI and influenza. It is in the first three months of life that several critical periods pass during which the embryo is extremely vulnerable and sensitive to the effects of adverse external factors, including viral infections. Childbirth and the first months of the child’s life will take place in the “dull” autumn season. It should be borne in mind that bad autumn weather can interfere with walks with your baby in the fresh air, and gray, cloudy days, and rain can create a threat to your good mood, especially considering that after giving birth, women are generally susceptible to this scourge. However, if the last months of pregnancy occur in the cool autumn or winter months, then the last trimester and its characteristic period proceed more easily: the tendency to edema and insomnia is less pronounced.

Conception in spring - birth in winter. In such a situation, conception occurs during a period when the maternal and paternal bodies are weakened by spring hypovitaminosis, although nowadays, with a wide selection of vitamin preparations, the problem of hypovitaminosis fades into the background. When planning conception and pregnancy, the doctor will prescribe the future parents the necessary vitamins that are important for the normal development of the baby. Also, the spring season is unfavorable for the incidence of respiratory viral infections. The last, third trimester of pregnancy occurs at a time of year when it is cold and slippery. This is fraught with falls and injuries that are unsafe for mother and baby.

The advantages of the winter season include good production of melatonin in the last trimester of pregnancy, which plays a positive role in the normal sleep of the expectant mother and the successful course of the last weeks of pregnancy. In addition, the last months of pregnancy are easier to bear in the cold season than in the summer heat.

Conception in summer - birth in spring. Conceiving during one of the most favorable periods in terms of weather conditions and saturation of the body with vitamins is certainly favorable for the most vulnerable first trimester of pregnancy. The birth of the baby and the lactation period will occur in the spring season, which is famous not only for the awakening of life in nature, but also for hypovitaminosis, although both mother and newborn baby need sufficient amounts of vitamins. This can cause weakening of the body of the baby and the mother in labor.

If conception occurs in winter, the child will be born in autumn.

Conception in autumn - birth in summer. Autumn is the time of year when the body is saturated with vitamins, which is favorable for the birth of a new life. However, the autumn slushy transition period is fraught with an increase in the incidence of ARVI and influenza, repeating the dangers of the winter season. The last trimester of pregnancy occurs during the long summer days. Due to the long daylight hours, the expectant mother may have problems falling asleep, which are already quite typical for this period of pregnancy. Long daylight conditions also impair the production of the hormone melatonin, which is extremely important for the successful course of the last weeks of pregnancy. In addition, in the summer heat, the tendency to edema increases.

For student expectant mothers, summer is the optimal time of year to give birth. Having enlisted the help of relatives from the beginning of the school year, the student mother will spend the most difficult first months of the baby’s life with her baby. This will allow her not to take a leave of absence and continue her studies without interruption. In addition, warm summer weather eliminates the need to wear heavy clothing, which is already difficult in the last months of pregnancy due to the significant increase in weight.

Let's make plans together

Be sure to discuss the problem of your work with your husband: will you work during pregnancy, does your work allow you to solve the problems that inevitably arise while expecting a child? What is the situation at your work: can management accommodate you by shortening your working hours, letting you go to the doctor, allowing a later start to your working day (which is important if, for example, you need to get tested in the morning), not sending you on business trips, etc. d.? Does your family budget allow for a situation in which the role of breadwinner falls entirely on the shoulders of the husband? Even if the answers to all these questions are not very comforting, do not despair! There is a way out of any, even the most difficult situation. Perhaps your state of health and the course of your pregnancy will allow you to avoid all the difficulties described. However, be prepared that, if necessary, work and everything connected with it should be sacrificed - the child’s health is more important!

In order not to be late...

In a series of flashing days, weeks, months, it is sometimes difficult for us to stop and think about the most important and necessary things. Therefore, such an important and responsible step - the birth of a child - everything is postponed “until better times”: when we finish our studies, get a job, make a career, when We’ll move to a new apartment when we save money, do some renovations, when we’ve sorted out all the things at work... Unfortunately, the inexorably passing time can play a cruel joke on us, and the joy of motherhood and fatherhood will turn into an unfulfilled dream. Therefore, try to have time to plan and calculate everything, agree on everything and carry out everything, but remember that in any case, the conception and birth of your baby will happen at the most suitable and necessary moment in your life! Even if this moment does not coincide with the time of conception you calculated.

Comment on the article "Let's discuss timing...When is the best time to conceive a child?"

I felt sad. For some reason I remembered the moment in the TV series “Sex and the City”, when Charlotte and her husband decorated the nursery and failed to get pregnant... Probably, you’ve read a lot of similar articles.
Well, I’ve also read more than once about planning to get pregnant in warm weather and give birth in the summer. But for some reason it doesn’t work out for me, I only get pregnant in the winter, no matter what. In general, in today’s life, it is best to give birth in January, so that you can be the first to sign up for the kindergarten and not miss the deadline.

I also plan to give birth to all my children in the summer, but for some reason they are born in the winter. Although it’s inconvenient how passion it is! And to visit doctors every month and the elder from kindergarten to kindergarten on ice with a baby, but apparently that’s fate. It’s funny to plan a vacation before maternity leave without even being pregnant. According to this logic, it is better not to look for a job at all at the planning stage, so that there is no stress. It turned out that just at the stage of planning a second child, I was laid off from one job, and I became pregnant exactly a month after the tripling to a new one. Here's a perdimonocle. They just didn’t want to give me a scheduled vacation, it seems like pregnant women MUST take it before or after maternity leave. What is this vacation if your belly doesn’t fit in a swimsuit or with a 2 month old baby in February? So that the bosses can relax like this all their lives

I always thought that it was good to plan everything like this and decide in advance, but life is not a train schedule :)) It’s funny to hear who is better off giving birth and conceiving in what month, you might think it depends on us :))
