@leeenie: I have twins, too, so it obviously can't bother me too much, but I think as a general rule, it's probably nice for each kid to have their own "special" day that's all their own even if they have shared parties when they're little. Whatever you end up deciding, good luck with your new LO!

Are you going to be done having kids? Do you have any others? I think if you just have two, sharing might not be a big deal. If they saw a third getting their own day, it might make it harder.
One of my friends shared her birthday with her sister. They were six years apart and the older sister thought it was so cool.
I think the tough thing about having them close is one birthday would always be second. After everyone already had cake and party and presents and all. It might be exhausting for you to always make both special.
Not trying to make things more confusing, but just saying if you do have them on the same day their can be some positives!

@leeenie: What did you end up deciding?
@jedeve: This is now our issue. On one hand its good that we will have all three born in August but I still would like them to be a few days apart so they could have their own special day at least (even if they end up having a joint birthday).

My dad and his second sister share a birthday. They are two years apart. It didn't seem to phase them. Personally, for me I am so happy that I don't share the same birthday as my brother. Although at this point my mom celebrates both of our bdays at the same time when she can. Our bdays are 18 days apart in the same month.

No, I'd like for them each to have their own special day. Joint parties are fine, but a separate day devoted to each is what I would prefer.

How funny to see this thread revived!
My baby came early - I went into labor 10 days before my due date - so the question of the scheduled C on his brother's birthday was moot (I think I had decided to schedule it a couple days before his bro's birthday). The baby's birthday ended up being 6 days before his brother's, so they can celebrate on consecutive weekends.@T.H.O.U. - good luck!

My sister and I have a birthday 2 days apart (but we're 7 yrs apart). Totally fine!
