Does opting to have a baby mean you're a born loser?

Should you have a baby? Today is Mother's Day and nine months from now is December, a very good time of year to give birth. December babies are among the oldest in their school year, giving them an advantage over younger peers. Studies have claimed that babies born in October, November and December are likely to live longer than those born in the summer. 

It seems prospective parents have been paying attention to such reports. Although traditionally more babies are born during the summer, in 2010 (the last full year for which figures are available), there were more births in October to December than any other quarter, according to the Office for National Statistics.

But is it such a good idea to ditch birth control right now?
