But it's still horrifying to imagine four little ones under 2!</p> <p>I really would not want my twins to have separate birthdays. I don't know why, but I just don't. I have already told my husband if we are close to midnight when they are being born that I'm going to refuse to push until after midnight so they will both have the same birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mother-births-twins-in-two-years#post-1312736 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 08:57:31 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1312736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Yes! My boys were born 1 minute apart. I would have hated to have that difference spread by two separate birthdays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mother-births-twins-in-two-years#post-1312729 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 08:51:44 +0000 MamaMoose 1312729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunshineandsushi: I agree I feel like twins having different birthdays would really create birth order issues. I'd rather share my birthday than always have to celebrate it one day after we already celebrated my sister. Plus, she gets her license a day earlier, she can drink legally a day earlier, etc. I wouldn't like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mother-births-twins-in-two-years#post-1312716 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 08:45:31 +0000 looch 1312716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: The cutoff for my son's school is December 31, as I understand it, you'd have to be turning 5 in the calendar year to begin kindy. </p> <p>I would be okay with the kids being in different grades. I think there's a lot of pressure on parents to make a decision regarding keeping them together or separating them (in a class), so this might take the pressure off since the decision is made for you. I am sure though, that the school/board of ed would make a special exception either way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mother-births-twins-in-two-years#post-1312715 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 08:44:43 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1312715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was a fear of mine for my twins. My due date was Jan. 29 and they came on Jan. 8 so I didn't have to worry about it. BUT, I did tell my OB that they had to be born on the same day, since there was the potential of them being born right around midnight. </p> <p>I never liked the idea of my twins having a different birthday. I feel that it would perpetuate the birth order difference in a bad way for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mother-births-twins-in-two-years#post-1312706 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 08:41:09 +0000 mrbee 1312706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: our school in New York has a December 31 cutoff!</p> <p>As a twin, I would not want a different birthday let alone a different birth year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mother-births-twins-in-two-years#post-1312702 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 08:38:01 +0000 Mae 1312702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: A lot of people mentioned this in comments and I was so surprised. School cut-offs are generally somewhere between July and October, not depending on what year you are born. Also I'm sure regardless of any circumstance the school would let them attend together, it is obviously a special circumstance. </p> <p>I think this is super cool! It's be awesome to have a different birthday than your twin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mother-births-twins-in-two-years#post-1312673 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 08:13:31 +0000 looch 1312673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this is actually kind of cool! It gives you the distinction of being twins but with different birthdays, in different years! </p> <p>I wonder how it will affect school...could it be that one kid is a grade behind, depending on cut off dates? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mother-births-twins-in-two-years#post-1312664 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 08:07:52 +0000 delight 1312664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it bad that I'd just want to celebrate on the same day? The one twin was only seconds after midnight! I'd pick the 31st and celebrate both birthdays then! It's a pretty cool story though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mother-births-twins-in-two-years#post-1312661 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 08:06:05 +0000 tequiero21 1312661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't want my twins born in a different year. Especially since we are telling them they were born at the same time lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mother-births-twins-in-two-years#post-1312652 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 08:00:00 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1312652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good Morning America reported two familues thus happened to. One set of twins were born 3 minutes apart the other 8 minutes. Pretty cool to be a twin and not share a bday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mother-births-twins-in-two-years#post-1312639 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 07:50:42 +0000 Rubies 1312639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wondered what I would do if this happened to me! I just saw this on Breakfast Television this morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mother-births-twins-in-two-years#post-1312638 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 07:49:18 +0000 knittylady 1312638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The title of this post terrified me!!</p> <p>But also, that's pretty cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mother-births-twins-in-two-years#post-1312630 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 07:43:00 +0000 babycanuck 1312630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure where to post this...this mom gave birth to her twins this NYE with one being born on the 31st and one on the 1st.</p> <p>Edit: This is the right link<br /> <a href="http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/toronto-area-mom-delivers-twin-girls-on-new-year-s-one-born-in-2013-the-other-in-2014-1.1614183" rel="nofollow">http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/toronto-area-mom-delivers-twin-girls-on-new-year-s-one-born-in-2013-the-other-in-2014-1.1614183</a></p> <p>video - <a href="http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=268037&#038;playlistId=1.1614214&#038;binId=1.815892&#038;playlistPageNum=1" rel="nofollow">http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=268037&#038;playlistId=1.1614214&#038;binId=1.815892&#038;playlistPageNum=1</a> </p>
