Also, I agree with the pps. Right now you get 2 votes because you have 2 brains inside you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-driving-me-nuts-about-my-induction-date#post-286741 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 15:52:22 +0000 purrpletulips 286741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@musicav: DH is a history buff (especially the founding fathers) surprised he didn't think about that. However it is now a mute point because my induction has been moved up to this Sunday morning because I've started dilating very quickly and my OB is concerned that I won't make it to the hospital if I go into active labor on my own however he can't induce me right now because I'm not yet 39w and I'm not far enough along to get admitted on that alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-driving-me-nuts-about-my-induction-date#post-286739 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 15:51:27 +0000 MaisyMay 286739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My bday is May 13 and it was always fun when it was a Friday. Now it's not such a big deal. I definitely think you get to pull the trump card on this one. Plus, there's no guarantee LO will show up the day you are induced. LO could have a 9/14 bday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-driving-me-nuts-about-my-induction-date#post-286583 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 14:38:20 +0000 GrapeCrush 286583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my brother has the 13th for a birthday,,,he likes when it falls on a friday! weirdo.</p> <p>and @purrpletulips: my birthday is april 1st lol its not too bad ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-driving-me-nuts-about-my-induction-date#post-286570 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 14:30:55 +0000 MusicaV 286570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was born on the 13th and I like it. Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13. Roald Dahl was born on September 13. They both turned out pretty good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-driving-me-nuts-about-my-induction-date#post-286560 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 14:23:11 +0000 tororojo 286560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would pull the uterus card and outvote him! Lots of people have birthdays that fall on a holiday or days like the ides of March, etc--if anything, I think it would be fun to be a Friday the 13th baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-driving-me-nuts-about-my-induction-date#post-286550 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 14:14:27 +0000 T.H.O.U. 286550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do whats best for you. Plus I went in on the 9th, labored on the 10th and she was born at 1 am on the 11th. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-driving-me-nuts-about-my-induction-date#post-282207 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 19:57:58 +0000 DigAPony 282207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That doesn't seem like a good reason to change your induction date--it's not actually an unlucky day! A friend of mine born on the 13th always thought it was cool when her birthday would fall on a Friday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-driving-me-nuts-about-my-induction-date#post-282180 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 19:28:14 +0000 heffalump 282180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother was also born on Friday the 13th and he's been just fine :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-driving-me-nuts-about-my-induction-date#post-282177 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 19:25:26 +0000 MamaMoose 282177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother was born on Friday the 13th and has had many subsequent birthdays fall on a Friday. It has never bothered him for a moment. Do what works best for your comfort and child care logistics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dh-is-driving-me-nuts-about-my-induction-date#post-282154 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 19:04:22 +0000 purrpletulips 282154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I am currently 38w but my BP has been on the higher side and the baby is measuring about a week ahead so my OB offered to induce me once I turn 39w (which would be this coming Sunday). However, due to the optimal childcare coverage for DD I choose to be induced on Thursday 9/13 (3 days before my EDD of 9/16). Now DH is in a tizzy because he doesn't want LO to have to deal with having a birthday fall on Friday the 13th. Honestly to me it doesn't matter (I was induced with DD on 4/1 even though I didn't want her born on April Fool's day; she was sitting on my sciatic nerve and I was in horrible pain). </p> <p>Am I crazy for arguing against him on this? He would prefer we wait until after my EDD and induce but he isn't the one who is uncomfortable, swollen and not sleeping well. </p>
