Anyone have days they do NOT want to give birth?

[LegalScrapper]

I'd rather avoid Sept 11th for obvious reasons.

I'd like to avoid Sept 27th because it's my birthday and I want this little one to have his own.

I'd also (if I go late) like to avoid Oct 4th - that is my step-sisters' birthdays.

Really, it's just the 11th.

And the 29th - because I want her here before then!

I'd prefer to avoid the 11th, but actually don't feel strongly about it. And I'd much rather give birth sooner than later, so anything later than, say, tomorrow, is on my "no" list. * Jaime

I would actually really like to give birth on Sept. 11th. That's the anniversary of when my sister died (back in '88) and I think it would be such a healing thing for my family, to celebrate a birth on the date of her death. Plus, I'd feel like she was involved in some small way. I met my DH on her birthday so what better day to meet my child?

ETA: Whoops, just saw the spinoff thread. Will post this over there too.

I too would like to avoid the 11th. Personally now that I am officially overdue I would like to just have this happen as soon as possible. My anniversary if the 23rd and I would prefer not to go THAT late but if I do I would rather not have babe that day...

The 15th or 16th (have a deadline that day). Other than that, anytime. Oh, I'd prefer not to have her on the 11th either.

It wouldn't really bother me to have her born on the 11th, aside from the comments that would surely come. No one would ever forget her birthdate, that's for sure. Also, it's not like it's the 5th or 10th anniversary or something, it's the 7th, totally random. I just want her here and healthy, when she comes is up to her (sooner rather than later is preferable of course!).

The 10th or 11th. The 11th for obvious reasons and the 10th because that's my aunt's birthday. My aunt passed a few years ago and it seems like it would be sad to have a baby that day.

But I'm overdue, so I want her out NOW!!

[funfunkyfantastic]

I just don't want to have her on the full moon or after it. The full moon would be busy for the midwife... and I'm just hoping to have the baby before then.

[minmoto2]

I would prefer not to go on the 13th...my mom is flying in that evening & it could be a logistical nightmare

[youngsoul]

Well, my midwife is out of town from the 13th - 22nd, and my EDD is 9/17, so I guess I don't want to give birth during those dates. But I really don't want to wait til the 22nd or later, either... :

[yummama]

I have to say--I am open to all possibilities! I am waddling/limping everywhere at this point and just ready to meet my little surprise!

[hsofia]

I'm a September 11 baby, and believe me, it's not a big deal to be born on the 11th - the worst thing about it, quite frankly, is the sympathetic looks I get from people when I tell them my birthdate. I don't feel badly about it at all, and I'm a native NYC person with family members who worked at the WTC.

The only day I don't want to have my baby is sometime this week - I've still got lots to do around the house and hubby has some meetings that will take him out of town. But anytime after Tuesday the 16th is great!

The 3rd, 4th or 5th of Oct...just found out that is when MIL is going to stop by on her trip down south for the winter. : I swear if I don't have the baby by then, no matter how miserable I am to still be preg I will hold the baby in until she leaves so help me goddess. I don't know how she does it, I won't see her for months on end and then she'll manage to randomly pop up at the worst possible time. UGH!
