If your baby is due in March, you’re in for an exciting start to parenthood. As winter fades and spring begins, your little one will arrive during a season of change and new energy. March babies often bring a bright, curious energy into the world, making those early days feel full of potential and discovery.
Although not the busiest birth month in the UK, March has its own magic. Here’s everything you should know about little ones born this month.
Star Signs: Pisces & Aries
March babies are ruled by two star signs, each with its own personality and charm:
Pisces (19th February – 20th March)
Early March babies are dreamy, imaginative and deeply empathetic. Pisceans often show a natural love of art, music and storytelling. At BabyDam, we love their gentle, thoughtful nature and the way they connect with others. Pisces are most compatible with fellow water signs Cancer, Scorpio and other Pisceans.
Aries (21st March – 19th April)
Late March babies are bold, adventurous and full of energy. Aries children are confident, curious and love exploring new ideas. At BabyDam, we adore their fearless spirit and playful determination. Aries make great friends with Libra and Leo.
Birth Flower
Daffodil
Bright, cheerful and full of life, daffodils symbolise new beginnings and happiness. At BabyDam, we love the colour of daffodils which is complemented by our lemon bath barrier, WarmWave bath support and Orbital bath seat. It’s also seasonal favourite flower in our homes.
Birthstones
Aquamarine and bloodstone are the two birthstones associated with March. While they look strikingly different, both have long been connected with themes of well-being.
Aquamarine
Aquamarine, March’s birthstone, is known for its soft blue tones reminiscent of clear skies and calm waters. Traditionally linked with clarity, confidence and a sense of calm, it feels perfectly suited to babies born at the start of spring.
Bloodstone
A less common but historically significant stone, bloodstone symbolises vitality, courage and resilience. Its deep green flecked with red makes it a striking reminder of strength and protection.
