For those of you with more than one child, did you find you concieved them around the same time of the year?

Question

This is just an observation, but I noticed with myself and my brother, my two children and many other people I know that their children's birthdays are usually within a month or so of each other. I am wondering if our bodies are generally more fertile during certain times of the year (for me it woud be winter, for example)?

Answer 1

I'm not a parent yet, but I found your question interesting. Actually, I remember reading someone on here a while back that had three kids, all conceived different years but the SAME month and born the same month. Her explanation? She would drink too much on her birthday every year and her and hubby got frisky and threw all caution to the wind! lol Thought that was a great story.

Answer 2

With my first, I conceived in April and with this pregnancy, I conceived in May, so yes. That's an interesting observation.

Answer 3

may wife conceived in may 1992- she had twins - gl and take of yourself.

Answer 4

Not true for me, but I've noticed it's true for friends. I have a friend whose kids were born 2 years apart to the day, and now she's pregnant with her third and possibly due on her kids' birthdays. I also have another friend whose daughter was born in mid-November, and she's due with her third at the end of November.

It wasn't true for my mom though. She had us, in order, March, January, September. My aunt, on the other hand, three of her kids are close together. Her oldest and her youngest sons' birthdays are only 12 days apart, today being her oldest sons birthday, and August second being the young. And her daughter was born in September. Her other son is March.

For me, my daughter is in March and my son will be December, assuming he comes on time and not early. I guess in a way it's kind of true for me, but not in that exact way...we conceived our son around our daughter's first birthday.

Answer 5

Well, i'm pregnant with my second and basically conceived around the same time as my first.

My daughters b-day is nov.15 and i'm due with this one Dec 3rd. So they will be 2 years and about 3 weeks apart. :)

Answer 6

My mother had 3 of her 4 children in the same month. 2... me and my brother... were born on the same day, but 5 years apart.

I once heard a guy talk about his 3 daughters all being born on the same day, but different years. His only comment was, "I'm right regular in my habits." (true story)

Answer 7

my son's birthday is november 5 and i'm currently pregnant with my second son... who is due october 23.  

right on time!

Answer 8

First was conceived around Christmas, second around September, third around March.

I think it's more like what holiday/birthday/anniversary is during that time.  If you have an anniversary around that time - anniversary present!!!
