You are still getting out of a week or more of pregnancy and you know your baby will be nice and baked plus you won't have to do a whole big birthday right directly after Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157741 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 23:56:48 +0000 Running Elley 1157741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably choose the 27th because the earlier the better for me. I know that I'm over being pregnant and I just assume other people feel the same way lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157736 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 23:51:10 +0000 shopaholic 1157736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for 27th, so you can be sure to get the tax deduction both years! ;) And you can be home and snuggly with your DH and baby on NYE! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157712 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 23:09:42 +0000 RubyCali 1157712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted the 30th, but should have voted the 27th. If your insurance deductible starts over with the new year then you will have to pay more if you're still in the hospital on January 1!</p> <p>ETA: "new year," not "school year." :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157626 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 22:03:00 +0000 dolphin 1157626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for 27 because I'm impatient. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157320 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:27:39 +0000 MamaBehr 1157320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you for all your responses! Deep down inside I know the 30th is better, in terms of birthday parties and when this little guy is like 20. But, that's three more days of pregnancy! hahahaha.... I'll probably go with the 30th. :) Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157246 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:12:04 +0000 photojane 1157246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30th for the break between Christmas and birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157239 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:10:02 +0000 Boogs 1157239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote the 30th just for the bit of extra space from Christmas for your LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157233 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:08:59 +0000 runsyellowlites 1157233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If waiting until labor starts on it's own isn't a possible option (I know alot of erc moms that choose this so they know baby is ready &amp; so baby/mom gets the benefits of labor hormones) I'd choose the 30th so baby has as much time as possible to cook! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157230 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:08:44 +0000 Andrea 1157230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30th so our LOs can be bday twins. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157229 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:08:40 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1157229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30th so closer to New Years than Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157218 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:06:58 +0000 googly-eyes 1157218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30th!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157167 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:00:00 +0000 birdofafeather 1157167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i voted the 30th to be further from christmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157161 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:59:41 +0000 Kimberlybee 1157161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>December 30 so you can get after Christmas sale items for baby's birthday. JK it's b/c it's further away from Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157150 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:58:16 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1157150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote for the 30th so baby's bday is a little farther from Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157135 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:56:25 +0000 MrsStar 1157135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote December 30th! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157133 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:56:23 +0000 PurplePeony 1157133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for the 30th because, as a fellow late-December mom, I want to have my LO as far from Christmas as possible -- not sure whether you have strong feelings on the matter, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157129 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:55:51 +0000 MrsF 1157129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if you celebrate Christmas - but my sister's birthday is Dec 26th and she's always wished it were a little further away from the holiday. That would probably impact my decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157119 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:54:59 +0000 Penny Lane 1157119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i voted 30th so baby can bake a little longer, and it's further away from christmas! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157118 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:54:57 +0000 swedishfish 1157118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're measuring two weeks ahead I think the earlier the better (ETA - in terms of your comfort). Plus 12/27 is my parents' anniversary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157111 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:53:48 +0000 shinymama 1157111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote for the 27th so you don't have to be in the hospital on New Year's Day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157108 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:53:36 +0000 anandam 1157108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are both 27th babies, so I'm sort of biased! :)</p> <p>ETA - But a less selfish consideration is that you should also be out of the hospital to ring in the New Year at home... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/choosing-a-birthday#post-1157099 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:52:24 +0000 MamaBehr 1157099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'm going to have a c-section, no choice in the vbac and I'm ok with it. At my appointment my doctor basically said I could choose December 27th or December 30th. That puts me at 39 weeks. I'm already measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule, so think of how uncomfortable I will be by the end of December, so what do I choose? </p>
