@regberadaisy: I'm crazy, but I wanted both my babies to have the same birth date

I am due 4/23, but I am really hoping that she will at least be born 4/25 or later. Mostly because my Mom is flying up on 4/24 and I really want her to be here for the birth!

On another note, I would like for her to be born on May 1st. It was my Grandma's birthday and baby girl is partially names after her so I think that would be really cool. It's also my baby, soon to be 14, year old sister's birthday. DH is convinced that she will get here on May 2nd. I think that my midwife would let me go that late if it happens.

I just want her to come when she's ready!

I'm due April 9. I don't want my baby to come early and be born in March. My husband's birthday is next week and my birthday is in May, I think it would be cool to have a March, April, May birthday chain for the family--we would each have our own months. Plus, if she comes around her due date, she'll be almost at the halfway point between our birthdays--a special b-day present for both of us.

i just wanted a baby, don't care what week they're born. although i really didn't want a leap year baby.

my SIL is pregnant now and her due date is her bday!

Yes, he was due 1/13, but I wanted him to come anytime after 1/1 (my 30th birthday, my husband didn't want us to share)- and so I could maximize my maternity leave and not waste any of it waiting on the baby.

It worked out though- they let me work an extra week at home, and he made his appearance on 1/7, my husband's last day of work before paternity leave started.

We also wanted him to come before my in-laws arrived on 1/11, just so we could have time to figure out nursing and settle into our house.

I'm due early July and it'd be cool if she's a July 4th baby. We live abroad so it's not a holiday here and I can envision a lot of fun BBQ's for her bday - with little fireworks!

I don't want her arriving on July 2nd, because it's SIL's wedding anniversary. They like to throw parties and it could possibly mean schedule conflicts down the line (even though both would fall on the same weekend). I guess I just want her to have her own special day.

I'm due June 22 but would love to hold out until the following weekend. If I'm still active at work on July 1, I will get two additional weeks of PTO - so I'm hoping to make it through the end of the day on June 29th at work, and then I won't have to start my leave until the following Monday, July 2nd. Of course, I'm sure by the beginning of June I'll have forgotten all about this and just be begging her to get out ASAP.

I delivered at 41 weeks and 3 days in December 2011 and I wanted to deliver in my 42nd week in 2012. I wanted to save on a year of child care expenses since the kindergarten cut off is 5 years old by Sept!

I’m due June 6th, and my husband stops teaching for the summer on June 5th, so I hope she stays in until her due date so we can all be together for the summer from the start.

DD#1 was due 3/27 and I wanted her to come either on time or late! DH's birthday is 3/21 (tomorrow!) so I wanted him to be able to still have his day. She came 3/26, so 5 days apart.

DD#2 is due 5/22 and I don't especially mind when she comes, we just wanted to have her at the end of the school year so DH could be home too!

For benefits reasons, I would REALLY like her to come early - like June 1st. Starting June 1st at our company, through the summer, we work summer hours - 4 days a week, 8 hours a day and get paid for 40. So, if I had her then, I would only have to use 4 days of PTO per week instead of 5.

Other than that, I want her to come on her due date because it's an awesome number - 6-9-12. Yay for three's!!

I am due 3/28 and I really, really wanted her to come 3/17 so I could have a St. Patty's baby.

I so didn't happen.

I have dates I'd like to avoid but none that I'd really "prefer".
I wanted to avoid DH's bday Mar 28, my dd Apr. 1, & our anniversary Apr. 9th. Otherwise baby will & can come whenever they come.

Don't know if you're trying to avoid an induction BUT you can always request a NST to see how baby is doing before okaying an induction just b/c you hit a certain "date"... since an edd really is an estimation.

If I could chose, I would chose the beginning or middle of the week of her due date or the week before.
