I'm sure the majority of us on the board were born in the '80s, so I figured I would post it on the '80s board.  So what month do you figure that you were conceived?  ;D

I was born in June 1985, so 9 months before that was...September 1984!  Wooohooo!  I think at that time it was "Ghostbusters" fever and "Prince" was dominating the music scene

How 'bout you guys  :D

this is kinda cool.  I found some interesting things that went on in March of 1965:

March 23
A two-stage Titan II rocket boosted Gemini III and its crew, astronauts Virgil I. Grissom and John W. Young, into an elliptical orbit about the earth.

1965: Police attack Alabama marchers
State troopers and volunteer officers in the southern US state of Alabama have broken up a demonstration of black and white civil rights protesters, injuring at least 50 people.

The violent scenes in Selma on 7 March, which left 17 people in hospital, came to be known as Bloody Sunday.

In March 1965, several men and women in Alabama tested President Lyndon Johnson

very cool topic you started, SD.

I was born in June of 1982, and I was conceived either the last week of August '81 or the first week of September '81.  Now, since me and Hot Stuff were born practically at the same time, what she said would go for me as well.

..september of 68  :)

Born and concieved in 1976

Either October or November 1984. (Haven't asked the exact date... nor do I care to)

..september of 68  :)

We're about the same age, July 1968, possibly early August!
Not like I really wanna think about...you know.
::)

October 1980:

13 - Ashanti, American musician was born
14 - The Staggers Rail Act is enacted, deregulating American railroads.
31 - Polish government recognizes Solidarity.

My parents got married the month before I believe.

Conceived in January 1978, born October 1978. :)

On the day I was born the Grease Megamix (aaaaaaaaarggggghhhhh !!!!! I hate that song!!!!!) was no.1 on the charts.

Tommy Smith ceased his 18 year association with Liverpool FC.

Ian Callaghan played his 848th match For Liverpool, and all time club record.

Born August 1976.

9 months prior to that on the exact date is my father's birthday... ha ha!

So I was conceived late Dec 1975... Christmas spirit, New Years excitement and Dad's birthday wish???  ;D

This thread is making me feel so young...

Not sure about the exact month I was conceived, but I was born July 10, 1976.

Events that occured then....

Three British and one American mercenaries were shot by firing squad in Angola.

Oh, I forgot to mention a few things that were going on in September of '82...

- E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, An Officer and a Gentleman, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High were the biggest movies at the box-office

I'm hazarding a guess at October 1966...even my Ma & Pa can't remember...charming!

That month, Jim Clark won the US Grand Prix...

The British Government introduced a 'wage freeze' (such was the dire financial straits we were getting ourselves into...nothing ever changes!  ::))

And, most tragically, 116 children were killed when a coal tip 'avalanched' a school in Aberfan, Wales... :\'(

Was that the first of many moves?  ;)

Oh Gosh!  How sad!!  :\'(


I'll say...an entire generation 'wiped out' in seconds...

Bad enough if it were adults, but children... :(

Yep, that was the move that started it all!  :)

So, so tragic!  :\'(

October, 1988.  :D

cool thread

I was conceived in a weird way. I was conceived in August of 1989, but I was born on November 27, 1989. That's a pretty short time. And my due date was December 14, 1989.

I was conceived Thanksgiving Day, 1974.


Born August 1976.

9 months prior to that on the exact date is my father's birthday... ha ha!

So I was conceived late Dec 1975... Christmas spirit, New Years excitement and Dad's birthday wish???  ;D


If you're birthday is middle to late August, like mine is, you were probably conceived on Thanksgiving Day too. Ask your mom; that's what I did.  ;D Or, do the math:

Nov-Dec - 1 month
Dec-Jan -  1 month
Jan-Feb -  1 month
Feb-Mar -  1 month
Mar-Apr -  1 month
Apr-May - 1 month
May-Jun - 1 month
Jun- Jul -  1 month
Jul- Aug - 1 month
--------------------------------
              9 months

You're right... I totally counted wrong... it should be very late November. Oh well that's my 3 theories out the window.

Things is we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, so who knows what they were celebrating... and no I'd never ask.  ???

How 'bout you guys  :D


I was born on January 24 1986 - so I would guess I was conceived sometime in April 1985...Tears for Fears were dominating the charts, leg-warmers were in, cars were boxy...it was the real core of the 80s :P

If you were due in decemebr you weren't conceived in August.  More like March.

Exactly.  I don't think it's humanly possible to be conceived and then be born only 3 months later.  It takes atleast 8 or 9 months of pregnancy.  Roadgeek, you were probably conceived around March 1989, especially if you were due in December.  I can't imagine any doctor saying that someone is due after only 4 months of being conceived

Extreme circumstances? You weren't born pre-maturely though, were you? Cos most normal babies would not survive if ejaculated from the womb before about 5 months or so.

Yeah, you guys might be right. I must have misunderstood my parents.

You were conceived when I started kindergarten (fun times :)).Anyway, I was conceived some time in April 1978.

October 12 - Bode Miller, American alpine skiier




He is almost 29? He looks (and acts, if you saw any of the Olympics) MUCH younger.

I was conceived around late May or early June 1976. My parents have a story involving the song "Afternoon Delight" which was of course popular at the time. At that point, that is more than I wanted or needed to hear..thanks Mom and Dad! What was going on? Bicentennial mania in Boston..everything was about the spirit of '76. I know I had to have been conceived before the actual bicentennial because I was born two weeks late and born in March of seventy-seven. Forty weeks or so before March 24 would be late May or early June. But that was the spirit of the time. The singer-songwriter/late hippie era was starting to end, disco and almost direct opposition punk were in their infancies.."classic" rock was still big..it was the height of the seventies as far as TV and pop culture goes. The sixties were deader than a doornail but the eighties were still just the unknown future. It was a leap year so the Summer Olympics in Montreal were probably starting and the presidential race between Ford and Carter was heating up. The Son of Sam killings started in the summer of '76 and ended in the summer of '77.

The month of my conception was September 1972. I wasn't born prematurely. Here are some events of that month:


The Watergate trial begins
September 1 - Bobby Fischer defeats Boris Spassky in a chess match at Reykjav
