[quote=Anonymous]There are pros and cons to each month. For anyone who is really into complaining about their birth month, it says more about them than that it's inherently a "bad" month.

Also, remember that the pros and cons can change throughout your life. I didn't always love my summer birthday when I was a kid because I always wanted to be able to take cupcakes into school. But now that my kids are college age I love my summer birthday because they're actually home then and I can celebrate with them.

In the kindest way possible, I do hope that your wife can get established with a therapist during pregnancy and have someone to check in with regularly after the baby is born. Maybe look for someone with cognitive behavioral training who specializes in working with new moms, if you can find someone like that. It is VERY easy for this type of thinking to tip into something more serious postpartum. Also consider researching a doula/lactation consultant/night nurse -- anyone to help with the newborn period and to give Mom a break. [/quote]
