I was induced on my birthday but my son wasn`t born until the next day, i was hopeing he was on my b/d, but wasn`t.

My fiance and his son have the same birthday and they both think it is really cool and special. Everyone else says how special it is to when they tell them..

Alise (86.6 days ago)
i think itd be kind of cool. i dont think he`ll mind that you guys have it on the same day later. because of how busy familys are and how different each persons schedule is no on really celebrates (has a party, dinner, get together, etc) on hte exact day ne ways. usually its the previous or follwoing weekend or something like that. so that way you could have your celebration the previous weekend and he could have his the following weekend. then on the actualy day it could be more of a family thing if your schedules work out.

i commented on this poll last time, and i actually asked my best friend about it because she shares a birthday with her dad, and she said its been amazing because thats a special bond they have together, and he said that she was the greatest birthday present he had ever gotten!!

I wouldnt want to share a birthday with my child. Say mommy wants to go out and celebrate her big 30 in a adult way (drinking, etc)...I personally enjoy doing things on my birthday even after having my son. I wouldnt want to have to split my childs birthday up with mine. I would want each of my kids to have their own day and for me to have my day. I think Birthdays are important whether youre 2 or 102.

If this is your first baby inducing can take a while.. Usually you go in there and depending upon wether or not you are dilated.. It can be a long process. I was induced with my first and didnt have her until like 47 hours later... SO she more than likely WONT come on your birthday possibly the day after. If she does... Well think of it as a blessing.

I completely understand how you feel. I`m due on Sept. 13 and my b-day is the 7th. I`m also hoping baby doesn`t come on the 11th! I know that our children are the most important things in our lives, but I still think it`s important to retain your individuality (and I am NOT a feminist by any means) and do some things just for you. My hubby is always asking how baby is doing (in my belly), and I joke with him `Am I just an oven now?` ha ha I love that he cares so much about baby, but I want some attention too! When my sis had her kids, I tried to make sure I always greeted her first and asked how she was doing before lavishing affection on the babies.

I think that would be the best present anyone could have you know! I mean who could give you a better bday present hehe. Anyways like someone said once you have kids you will more than likely stop celebrating yours anyways. But I don`t think he would mind, I know I wouldn`t of minded sharing a birthday with my mom or dad. My sister was also induced on Oct 8th around 5pm and she didn`t have her daughter until Oct 9th at 6:47pm.

being induced on that day does not always mean u will have the baby on that day

Ummm no, that`s MY day! I wouldn`t want to have the same birthday for selfish reasons. My day! MY DAY! MY CAKE and MY DAY! (In my worst bratty voice ever)

I was induced on a Wed and didnt deliver til Friday, being induced doesnt mean you will deliver that same day, some inductions take a while ~ if you do it was meant to be if not that it wasnt :)

My mother-in-law had my husband on her birthday. They`ve always shared a birthday and it`s no big deal. To be honest, once you have kids, you don`t really celebrate your birthday that much anymore....same with Christmas.....it`s all about the kids then.

My four year old was not born on anyone`s birthday, but she shares everyone`s birthday! Every time someone in the family has a birthday she will ask them if she can share their birthday with them - now who is gonna say `no`??? Kids LOVE to blow out candles and help unwrap gifts even if the candles and the gifts are not their own. It just makes a birthday so much sweeter to share it with a child! :) My daughter was born in January, my b`day is in August, and the only birthday I`ve had to myself since she was born was the one I had when she was 6 1/2 months old! LOL

I actually wouldnt mind if I had been born on my mothers bday but idk thats just me. Maybe ask if you can be induced later in the day so you can maybe deliver the next day like one of the others said.

bones9812 (87.7 days ago)
What`s important here? That you have a healthy baby or that you get your birthday to yourself. If you put it in that perspective, it really doesn`t matter. Or it shouldn`t matter. And, you can tell this poll is from a first-timer because the rest of us multiparous moms know that we actually ceased to exist after the birth of #1. It`s all about them on that day--it could be Christmas and it`s still all about them. Or it should be.

I agree with Cassandra, you might not deliever on that day. My neice didn`t have her baby until the following day at 4 in the morning, but you could always ask to be induced later in the day or the following day, and being induced it`s all that fun either.

cherrybeth (87.8 days ago)
I heard something that might make you feel a little better. Someone once told me (I don`t know if its true just kinda neat) that the closer your baby comes to your own bday the better. It is a special bond that baby and mommy can share, it`s supposted to be lucky lol...Plus you`ll probably celebrate the baby`s bday more then your own. Once you get to a certain age you kinda don`t want to celebrate your own bday lol...Plus if you do want to celebrate both bdays that just means one less bday to plan. I am sure everything will work out and as long as you make the day special for baby he wont know any different.

CassandraLee (87.8 days ago)
Just because youre induced on a day doesnt mean you will deliver that day. Personally, I wouldnt want to be induced again. Id let baby come out on whatever day his birthday is supposed to be. Let him come out when HE wants to

alijo (87.8 days ago)
I dunno. I`m due 3 days before my bday and I`ve been worried that he`ll be born on my actual bday. I feel kinda selfish for thinking that, but I can`t help but want to have my own day and not share it, esp. since everything else will be about baby from now on. Of course, the most impt thing is that he`s born healthy on whatever day is best for him. I guess what I`m trying to say is just that I understand your confusion.
