A parenting blogger claims to have discovered the best time to get pregnant.
Mother-of-two Frances Chie, from Oklahoma, took to TikTok to share her thoughts on the importance of timing when it comes to pregnancies.
From astrological signs to making the most of pregnancy desires, the content creator suggested several reasons why parents should carefully plan the time their child will be born.
A viewer asked Frances: ‘When is the best time to get pregnant?’ She replied, “There is only one right answer” – August.

Frances explained: ‘If you haven’t guessed yet, the best time is the end of July or the month of August.
“I was lucky enough to have this with my first and it was the best.”
First, she explained that the timing allows the birth giver to easily recover from morning sickness in late October.
She explained, “Your morning sickness will be gone by October, just in time for the holidays.
“That means you’re feeling good and ready to enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas.”
Then Frances takes the weather into account. She said, ‘Seven of your months you will spend in cold weather. So you can wear oversized sweaters, hoodies and sweatpants and be comfortable.
“And because it’s cold, you don’t miss anything.”
She added, “You’ll have your baby in late April or May, so you can enjoy your baby all summer long, and it’s great for postpartum because you can get outside and get some fresh air.” .’
From astrological signs to making the most of pregnancy desires, the content creator suggested several reasons why parents should carefully plan the time of their child’s birth.
Next, Frances considered constellations. She said, “If you’re lucky, you have a Taurus, which I think are the best signs.”
The content creator concluded, “So there’s nothing better than August. I would like to add that every baby is a blessing, no matter what month he or she is born.”
More than 800 viewers have taken to the comments section to share their thoughts on Frances’ views, and while many agree, some suggest otherwise.
One said: ‘My daughter was born in May and I support this.’
A second wrote: ‘March baby is coming. And I completely agree with that.’

A fourth said: ‘No, I would say end of March/April. Nice summer, sweaters in the fall, birth at Christmas (I’m due on the 19th), free until January 2025
It comes after a baby name expert revealed the most controversial titles parents should apparently avoid.
Emma Waterhouse of Nameberry, an American website dedicated to baby names, shared a TikTok revealing the choices they would strongly advise against.
The experts scoured their website for the most ‘polarizing’ names and announced some in the video.
The expert explained that despite being a “trendy choice” at the moment with its “fashionable ending,” Azriel is the name of the Angel of Death in both Islam and Judaism.
Next up is Bodhi, one of the fastest rising names in the 2010s.
But TikTok explained: “It is a Buddhist word that refers to a state of enlightenment, but it is not traditionally used in Buddhist culture in the US.”
Although the expert acknowledged that the name Cohen could be considered “stylish,” it is extremely controversial.
The name is a sacred Jewish surname belonging to members of the kohanim, descendants of the sons of Aaron who served as priests in the Temple in Jerusalem.
The expert also suggested avoiding the name Dixie, which was a top 200 name in the 1930s, but today the name is associated with racism.
She added: ‘Most parents avoid this name due to its heavy undertones of racism.
