Birth date disappointment

I feel this. I really want my daughter to be born on 4th of July.

Honestly, it's not dumb at all. My due date was on an ex best friend's bday. They really really hurt me and I was DREADING that possibly being my baby's bday. My water ended up breaking naturally 5 days before, so the relief I felt was unbelievable. I am SO very sorry that this happened to you! I can't even imagine how you must be feeling about it... Maybe your sweet girl just wanted to stick her middle finger up at this lady and say "no ma'am, it's my day now!" 💜

Nope I totally get it. My baby was Due June 14 as well, but I had like 4 family members with birthdays in June a family member with an anniversary in June an ex family member who got married in June so many dates I did NOT want baby to be born. I lucked out and he was born 6/12 in the middle of it all, but I would have known your exact feeling if he had been born on any of those other dates.

Honestly that makes total sense!

I understand! Im due june 24 which is a holiday where i live. I am hoping she will be born tomorrow on the 21st. My son was born dec 21st, shortest day of the year and i would like for her to come tomorrow, june 21st, on the longest day of the year. Its stupid but it would be cool

I think your baby's birthday will be more important for everyone and honestly kids are more celebrated and people are more excited for than adults so maybe you can flip the perspective ☺️ I'm on the same boat, my due date is the 28 and from the 23th through the 27th it's someone's birthday of my family or close friends and I wanted her to be born at least a week from that but here we are. Also I don't want her to be born on 4th of July week bc everyone will be celebrating something else or kids and families are travelling so her birthday would be mixed with that every year... I'm sure it'll be fine but it's such a silly thing

@Ashley my birthday is the 3rd of July and I’m due the 29th of June and from my experience I really do not want her to come the 3rd or 4th because it was so hard as a kid. You never get to celebrate on your actual birthday since friends and family are always away or have other plans. Even hard as an adult, for my 30th birthday party only my husbands friends and family could come due to who was around from the holiday.

Completely understand! My daughter came out June 16th, which is the birthday of my oldest “cousin”. She’s only related by marriage, so she’s not a blood cousin, but that part of the family has some sort of a superiority complex against us and I’m not exactly fond of my daughter’s new shared birthday.

Not dumb. I feel this. My husband and I both have 12 birthdays and got induced on the 12th hoping so she would be born then. She was born at 5:26 am on the 13th.. I cried at midnight when I knew it wouldn’t be that day. Totally understand you.

I definitely had that fear with my 2nd and this one. Luckily they both "picked" their own days to be born on. My oldest was super worried she'd have share her birthday. So glad little girl was almost a week "early" vs. a "late" baby. I'm glad that my husband's babies are early babies, so far. 😅 I was super worried that my 2nd would be late and share a birthday with my daughter's sperm donor (my ex) for a bit.
