Christmas Eve/Christmas babies?

Not really sure what my sons first birthday is going to look like or what to plan since it falls on a holiday and some people take vacays, other have specific traditions etc.

Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated 🫶🏽

Do it the weekdend before. He’s 1 they won’t know. Mine turns 1 on the 15th and she’s not getting much for her birthday since Christmas is 10 days later.

I found the theme Winter Onederland on Amazon and I don’t never see that one and since the house is going to be decorated for Christmas why not 🤷🏼‍♀️ lol 😂

My little girls birthday falls on the 26th. Everyone’s gonna be on vacation or with their families. I’m doing her birthday party on January 4th

My son was born on Christmas lol I plan on doing a tradition of having a birthday tree for him so that way he wakes up to his own tree in his room. I’ll have birthday wrapping paper stored away so I don’t ever become one of those parents that combine gifts 🥲

We are just doing it on the eve (his birthday) we don't have to gather family that way 🤭

Down the line when he's older if he wants a party with friends we will likely do a half birthday since so many people are gone in December

birthday tree is such a cute idea! We will totally get a mini one down the line 🥰

I did think about maybe doing it a different day but idk I feel like it’s weird not to celebrate his birthday on his actual birthday… and do that every year? lol why does it make me sad 😭

My baby boys bday is Dec30’23

We are doing it early December. To close to Christmas and everyone has conflicts, if we do it the week after people are partied out from the Holidays. We are doing it early so family can be there. (My side of the family lives in a different state than us.) My little guy turns 1 on Christmas.

You don't know how your kid will be so don't get upset yet

They may love it! They may want another day for just them you never know

I always just had dinner with family as a kid rarely a party so it depends how you grow up/preferences

My sis hates the spotlight and for sure would prefer something lowkey

You can always celebrate day of and do another celebration later if you want a party with others too

Double the birthday fun is a good thing 🤭

My daughter was born on the 18th literally a week before Christmas, we’re having a little party while everyone is in town for thanksgiving!

I actually didn’t think about that, what my kid will prefer in the future. Thank you for that perspective.

My son’s birthday is December 30th. I’m trying to figure out if we should just do the family party on Christmas since everyone is here anyway and then just take him somewhere on his birthday. We are a sober household so we thought about doing it on New Year’s Eve but everyone will probably be drinking so still trying to work it out

birthday twin!

love this idea so mu ch !!

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date

Groin pain?

So I’m 34 weeks with my second and for a couple days now I’ve had terrible groin pain so bad that sometimes I can’t even walk or shift a certain way or I feel like the baby is just gonna rip out of my groin… I definitely was uncomfortable towards the end with my last pregnancy but this is just absolutely awful. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or anything that helps?? It’s making it so hard to still care for a toddler when I can barely move without pain..
