My daughter’s birthday is the day before mine. She also shares a birthday with her aunt & uncle (my siblings). My first born has a birthday a month later & 10 days before Christmas. I did not “plan” this, it’s a gift. My advice would to ease off on the guilt & enjoy your pregnancy. My siblings and I had combined birthday parties growing up. Sometimes we shared a cake or had our own. 🤷🏽♀️ It can be a bit overwhelming with the birthday phone calls every year. Lol
I wouldn't worry about it. My brothers' birthdays are a week and a half apart and as far as I know they never cared. My parents just made sure to give them their own parties instead of doing a joint one. Then my dad's is 2 weeks later. We've been ttc for 2 years now and trying to plan a potential birth month is the last thing on my mind personally. I'll take a baby born at any time.
I just feel bad for ur partner’s pocket. 😭 not really in a similar situation but my husband’s birthday is Dec 20, anniversary Dec 8th and then Christmas. And he wants us to have a baby that’s gonna be born in December but I just laugh at him because no way I’m buying so many gifts so close tg. There’s nth wrong with having another baby in August though. Congrats mama ❤️🎉
@Jody lol. My husband actually wanted a Dec baby so they could share birthday month. My dad's birthday is Dec 12. And my husband's the day after Christmas. Our anniversary is also Dec 8th. Definitely not.
It’s not a big deal. I think there are multiple people who would love to plan exactly when birthdays are for their kids. But my eldest daughter’s birthday is 10 days before my youngest & 3 weeks after my middle child’s. Then my middle child’s is 5 days before his dad’s and a week before mine.
My first sons birthday is the 28th of June. My second is due July 5th. If I opt for the c-section (had an emergency one with the first) that would make it the 28th of June. Thankfully that's a Saturday though and I'd be looking at the 30th. I did feel a bit bad to start with, like how would we do birthdays etc., but my husband and his sisters birthdays are within a week of each other and he says it was fine growing up. I'm not thinking about it too much now, but I am leaning towards not having a c-section so that I can try and stretch that gap a bit. X
In a 19 day span there are 5 birthdays in our family, both my kids are in that window. We haven't had any issue out problem with it
I do not understand why this matters. I'm not trying to judge I genuinely don't know what the problem would be. My mom's birthday is June 20th, my son is July 9, I'm July 25th, my dad is Aug 5th. I grew up with cousin who's birthday was 5 days after mine and we shared birthday parties for over a decade. Add in my SIL is July 14th and we just celebrate all summer long. It's never been a problem for any of us. Also my husband and his mom share a birthday in May that is right around mother's day. We celebrate everybody together. Same on my mom's birthday since it's right at father's day we celebrate her and the fathers in our family. Everyone can be important and celebrated even if they are close together.
My daughters are July 31 mine is august 3 and my other daughter is august 14. lol i love I can throw them together if I wanted.
My birthday is July 26 and I’m due July 21st. It’ll be fine, you can’t really plan when you’ll get pregnant bc it’s not up to you. It’s up to God and your body.
I’m born on the 13th, my sister 8 years later on the 12th and my brother on the 25th. Even tho I was older I really enjoyed sharing my birthday
I don’t think it’s a big deal, my sons birthday is the day before mine and it just turns it into a big two day long celebration 🥳 also think of the money you’ll save by having joint birthday parties every year
My friends family has 4 kids all of their birthdays are in February 3 of them within 2 days of each other and 2 of them have kids both born in January. It makes it super easy but also fun chaos for three months of the year with Christmas being so close😂 my sons bday is 6 days after mine and I’m so excited to have a birthday buddy for the rest of my life. I don’t think it’s a big deal. It’ll probably make gift giving more simple 🥰
my eldest's birthday is 5th october and my baby's is 2nd october. i think it's lovely that they can share their birthday week!

I found out that I was pregnant with my son on Christmas Day 2020. This Christmas we had a little bit of a scare cuz I thot I was pregnant again cuz my period was a few days late. I was having a panic attack cuz I don’t want to have another summer pregnancy & have the same due date as my son. Thank God I wasn’t preggo cuz I’d be upset. This yr we will be officially trying for baby#2 & I’m waiting until maybe May so baby will have maybe arrive during the holidays idk bt yes long story short I’d be very upset if u were u. Bt there’s nothing u can abt it now! Congrats x
My LO birthday is July 26th and mine July 27th, just few hours apart. At first I didn’t want to share a birthday, but would have been cool to actually have the same day. I think is special, especially if it’s not planned. So would be cool is you all had birthday in August! Can plan a trip around your birthdays and make it special. It’s not on the same day, so you can dedicate a day to each of you
My second is due about 2.5 weeks after my firsts birthday. That’s technically plenty of time, but my first came 2.5 weeks early, and this one has a few factors that make me high risk. My only concern is being in the hospital or birthing on my girls birthday. I don’t care at this point if they are one day apart, I just want them each to have a special day, and I would be absolutely devastated if I was in the hospital during my girls birthday! But I think it could be fun for your 2 kiddos to have birthdays close together as long as they ge their own day! My sister and I were 2.5 weeks different and our birthdays were always special and separate:)
The thing is that if we could plan when we want to get pregnant and it actually happens according to it it would be great BUT it’s almost never like that. We’ve been trying to get pregnant with #2 for 7 months and I’ve always got negative tests I wanted to avoid having due dates for July and august because I felt like it’d be too hot and thought anyways I didn’t get preggo for 7 months I’m not gonna be pregnant now. Kept having sex and boom pregnant with due date July 13! Honestly I’m still happy because I started thinking I could be having secondary infertility but it happened and it had be this way… moral of the story is that no matter how much you plan, things don’t go as per plan… enjoy this second pregnancy 😌
So my second child was born in may, no birthdays in June, my due date is in July for my 4th,and my 3rd child birthday is in August. All close together birthdays. Didn’t plan it like that but that’s how it happened. Oh and to top it off, my oldest birthday is in December couple weeks before Christmas lol
My little sisters both had to be planned c sections one made it to her c section date Jan 5th and my mum went into labour early with the second one before she reached her c section date and had to have an emergency c section on the 6th of Jan. Mine and my other sister bday r 10th n 15th of may as well. Things happen not point beating urself up about it. Not had a negative impact on me or any of my sisters, only thing I will say is try and when they get to like 5+ don't do joint birthdays and parties unless they want it. I was having forced joint bday parties till I was about 14 n now I hate my bday because I never had a bday that was about me. Just make sure u make effort to remember they r there own people when it comes ro bdays xx
My oldest two are both in September, (11 & 28) they are adults now and they’re both fine. I had a huge joint party once for all the kids in both kids’ classes at the lake. Piñata, hot dogs & I learned how to make balloon animals and face painting. It was so much fun! Don’t stress yourself over little details, none of that will really matter. 🫶🏽
I know tons of people who have their birthday on the same day as their family member and they love celebrating it together. Even me and my partner are 362 days appart (his birthday is 3 days after mine) and we absolutely love celebrating it together
I felt like this, my 1st daughter was born 26th October, my 2nd daughter was due 24th of October but came on the 29th of October. I felt so guilty about what would happen if they shared the same Birthday ect or if I was in hospital for her Birthday. But I kept telling myself it is what it is, we can't do much to change it unfortunately and I actually love now that my daughters have a Birthday 3 day's apart🤗🩷
My girl was due Aug 29th but came 5 days before her dad's bday. I'm actually very happy for her. My birthday was the day after my dad's and I feel like it brought us closer in a way. I say give them a birthday week if you can!
That’s what I would want lol
My brother’s and my bday are 5 days apart and I have never even really thought about it… my mom’s birthday is also in the same month as ours. It has never been a big deal
My son is June 6, my husband is July 19th and the one im currently pregnant with is due July 27th, and then my birthday is August 3 so we are all kind jumbled in together.
My birthday is 1 day before my brother’s. We have a 7 year age gap and I think the only year it affected him is when I was born and my mom was still in the hospital. We even have had some shared bday parties but separate cakes and we could care less
My birthday is aug 20th (I was due to be born the 8th) my babys due date was aug 8th and she came early (July 30th) we are exactly 3 weeks apart I love it!

My brothers had birthdays 1yr and 3 days apart. One was Feb 14, other was Feb 17. They loved it. My brother only hates having a Valentine’s Day birthday! Never any complaints about them being the same week. Me and my son are 2 days apart in bday! I love having it so close. My last baby will be June 9, about 2 weeks after me and my son’s bday! Unless baby comes early, then it’ll be all of us one after the other! I think it’s fun!
It’s no big deal. My birthday is March 27th my brothers the 28th and my step moms the 29th. We can really determine when a baby is born. C section are planned yes but most of the time something throws that off too.
My son came 2 days before my daughters 2nd birthday it’s everyone else that seems bothered by this I couldn’t care less they will still get special days separately
Whilst it might feel like the end of the world to you, I promise it isn’t. It will be fine. Your eldest will still have a lovely birthday- you can keep it low key whilst you’re recovering, but it can still be special! And you’ll have both your babies with you for your next birthday- how exciting! Not everyone has the luxury of planning a pregnancy to fit perfectly into their calendar anyway, so I really wouldn’t second guess it.
