s/o What days DO you want to give birth  

post #1 of 21
Thread Starter 
besides your due date obvs

I'd like the 13th - 13 is my lucky number.
Or the 24th - because that would have been my Papaw's 89th birthday
And even though it's way past my dd, I'd like October 1st

I'm currently voting for the tenth, since 10/09/08 (European-style with the day first) seems like a good birthday. And it's not too far off.

DH's birthday is the 19th, and I think we both think it would be sweet of they shared a birthday. We'd have six family members and only four birthdays!

Otherwise, as soon as possible!

I'd like to go today Due the 11th but hubby doesn't want to share his birthday...so any day other than that.

Umm today or tomorrow or Wed (skip Thursday the 11th) or Friday... Basically the sooner the better IMO....

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?

Sept 20 would be great for me work-wise.

Er, today? Soon. Any day that is soon, really. My dad's birthday was the 6th, and his is the only Sept bday in the family, so now that that's passed, any day is fine. I would have loved to have had the baby on his bday, he would have loved it too, but that is obviously not going to happen now!

I am shooting for the 17th. That is the earliest possible day I can deliver at the new Birth Center at the hospital that I'm stuck going to. Its also a week before my EDD and as a first timer, highly unlikely. But I do better with shorter term goals

I really like even numbers, so that's my only small wish. my duedate is either the 26 or 28, and those are two of my very favorite numbers, so I've been hoping for one of those!

and September is my very favorite month, so I hope not to go to October...

Hubby wants the baby to be born on the 30th so all the kids will have a 3 in their birthdate. DS is the 13th of april, and DD is the 23rd of Oct. I don't really have a preference, the 30th would be really overdue based on LMP, but not that far off based on conception.

I'd love an equinox baby, but that would be more than a week before my due date and just wishful thinking. I would love October 1st or 9th (to make it 10/9/08) or even the 10th because then it would be 10/10 and my birthday is 11/11. Of course, I will be going crazy if I go over my due date by 10 days, but it still would be neat.

Well most of my siblings have 10's in their birthdays, so that's what my mom's betting on.

My dad want us to have it on the 13th because his birthday is the 13th of May, but I actually don't want it to be that day... mostly out of rebellion on my part.

I don't want it on the 11th, I think for obvious reasons.

I'd REALLY like it to be on the 14th because...
-We are actually really good "friends" with my SIL, Ruth, and her husband, Eric. We also have a mutual couple, John and Cara, that we always hang out with. Ruth & Eric's firstborn came on June 14th. John and Cara's firstborn came on Oct. 14th. Additionally Ruth and Cara share the birthday of Sept. 14. So I really feel like the 14th would be cool because there are so many connections between our three families on that date.

Of course I'll be happy with whatever happens I'm sure. BUT I really want her to come on the 14th.

It would please me greatly if my baby girl is born on her due date, September 19th. However, if she arrives earlier or later, I'll be okay with it. Ideally, I would like to go into labor during business hours. It would make it easier to run to my midwife's office to get checked, etc. DH would like it if I go into active labor on a weekend. My DH's birthday is tomorrow and he also mentioned he would love it if she is born on his b-day but today said he would prefer if she has her own special day! In any event she will be here between both our birthdays - 9.9 and 10.11 and when she decides to make her grand entrance!
I am hoping she doesn't arrive too late because we are getting very anxious to meet her!

For me it's something with 8's. I'm hoping for the 28th, though I'm not due till Oct 3rd/5th. I just feel like this LO will be earlier than later. But whenever she decides to come out I'll be so happy to meet her!

I'm hoping to go into labor on the 23rd and have the baby in the wee hours of the 24th. I think I'd fare better with a Libra baby! Then again, it would probably be a blessing for a Virgo child to have a mama like me, because my strengths are patience and affection. I'm due on the 20th.

I would have loved the 09.09.

Its most convenient when filling out forms, you never have to worry what format to use, if you have to fill in the day or the month first. My own birthday is 05.05. and so I know how convenient it is.

Next best choice would have been 10.09.08, cause at least it's got a pattern of 10, 9, 8..

My due date is tomorrow the 13th, I don't like 13 .. and I am not feeling anything much so it might still be a while anyway.

Now there aren't really any more good dates so it doesn't really matter anymore.

I'd like to this weekend, that way DH can take an actual M-F week off.

The sooner the better!!!

My mother in law is coming on the 21st (EDD is 22nd) and I have to secretly admit that I would ideally like to have the baby BEFORE she comes (I feel a bit guilty saying that cuz she is a sweetheart!)
