Having a baby just in time to wear baggy fall clothing seems great, but even a venti PSL can’t make up for being pregnant all summer long.

So when’s the best time to get pregnant? Whenever you want to. Life isn’t perfect and it rarely goes according to plan. If you want to try for a baby, there’s no time like the present.
