Do some women go overboard to have a baby on a certain date?
A Mom we met recently was determined to have her baby girl today--Leap Year Day--and was willing to induce to make it happen. It's the day she, herself, was born as well as a funny little once-every-four-years birthday.

When women schedule Caesareans and inductions for whatever reason, they actually choose the birth date for their babies... Is picking the big day for your own pleasure just a little wrong? One Mom here says she was actually upset that she had to schedule a C-section and determine her son's birthday when she would have rather he entered the world when he was good and ready. Others say it's no big deal. And having a baby on your own birthday--is that something to cherish or to avoid if at all possible?
What do you think?

I think every person deserves their own day to celebrate their birthday on. In our family we have 4 back to back birthdays. Its a really expensive week for us. I would rather have separated the birthdays by weeks or months. I married into a family that had birthdays close together & now we have my sons birthday, his step fathers birthday, a cousins birthday & a grandmothers birthday…all between the 27th of Jan & the 1st of Feb.
I think the women that choose to have there c-sections done on their own birthday are being silly.

Gosh, I was born on Feb 28th. You just don’t know how many times people have said, “Oh, you were almost a leap year baby!” Now, I tell you that could have been possible if that year had been a year to have a leap year. But it wasn’t, so no, I wasn’t almost a leap year baby. Ever thought of that? And I had to share my birthday with my womb mate, Katie! Oh well! Susan Kaye and Katie Gaye. I think they chose the wrong name for her. Write if you have time or the inclination! Susan

I have five kids - daughters 12, 11, & 7 and 5-yr-old twin boys. I had a C w/ the twins. We were told the weeks we could have it, and we chose March 15th because we didn’t have any b-days in March in our family. Oddly enough, I went into labour a bit early and the little guys were delivered March 9th. Personally, I don’t care what day my kids are born on.

I think that the baby will come when he/she is ready. It’s one thing if there are problems, but choosing your baby’s birthday just because you want it to be a certain day is ridiculous in my opinion.

I think its not for us to say. If it caused pain or anything to the infant, or course it would matter! But it doesnt. its just a birth date.. !
