There are a lot of people out there who have opinions on when the best time to get pregnant is, and for multiple reasons. Some of it is based on sound medical reasoning, and some of it is purely based on vibes and maybe a little logic.
@thelillyscott Clearly I’ve thought this through. And yes, I absolutely acknowledge that this is ideal and concieving doesnt always just happen!

Clearly, she's thought about this
"The best time to get pregnant is the end of February," Scott begins her video. "I know I'm right, and here's why."
Scott has spent a lot of time thinking about the ideal time to get pregnant. According to an interview she did with Insider, she suffered a lot of complications when she gave birth to her daughter in May 2022. As a result, her doctor recommended that she wait at least 18 months before getting pregnant again. She and her friends have given the subject a lot of thought and decided that February is ideal for several reasons.
The first reason? Valentine's Day is in February. You're already feeling romantic, so why not capitalize on that feeling?
March is a throwaway month
By Scott's logic, spring is the perfect time for your first trimester. You're feeling yucky, and as she says, March is a "throwaway month." Nothing really happens between March and May, so if you're feeling "a little bit sick" it shouldn't impact too many plans.
But then June comes and you're in your second trimester just in time for summer.
"You get to travel still, you're feeling good," she says. And since you have a baby bump, "there's no pressure to look good. You're at the beach and they're like 'Oh my God, are you pregnant?'"
In your second trimester, you can have a good time, and summer is all about having fun, right?
Getting cozy in time for the third trimester as the cooler months roll around
By the time you're getting into the third trimester, you're starting to feel meh, but as Scott says, "it's fine, because you're getting cozy."
The air is getting cooler and the clothes are getting roomier and you're starting to get bigger and hotter. If you're not feeling like your cutest self, it's all good.
"Here's a sweater. Put on a scarf. Another scarf. Nobody cares," she says.
Soon, you're getting closer to the end. "Halloween. Halloween candy."
And then it's time for the main event: you give birth, possibly to a Scorpio baby. (Good luck with that!)
'Tis the season for giving birth
Once you get into the holiday season, you'll have a newborn. No one is going to ask you to do much because you have a new baby, but "they'll bring you presents." If you have to go back to work, you may have additional time off because of the holiday season.
You get through the first six months of motherhood, which is incredibly hard, during a time where you're mostly housebound anyway. And as you get to the following summer, your baby is old enough to be out in the world and doing things.
Scott does have some pretty sound logic here. Of course, you can't control when you get pregnant, but this will definitely give some food for thought!
