The date of birth is more important than the date pregnancy is started.

Because the gestation period can vary, the actual date of birth generally is not controllable. However, the month of birth may be controlled.

Time your pregnancy for a birth in the middle of the month of your choice. Aiming for the middle of the month provides many days of leeway for early or late birth and still be in the desired month.
