Yes, my due date is September 11th. I feel like it is so awkward to tell people. Everyone says, "oh don't worry, most babies aren't born on their due dates anyway." I've yet to tell anyone the EDD without some type of reaction. Anyone else in this boat? Any suggestions on how to make it less awkward? I've considered just saying he/she is due on September 10th.
Re: any other 9/11 due dates
PS my grandfather shares a birthday with Hitler and he turned out just fine!
Even though the date brings on reminders of the tragedy, perhaps new life could shed a new light on that day.
My doctor before she realized it was my birthdate winced and said we can push it back to Sept 12. But I'm used to this reaction when new people find out my birthday. You just get used to it.
Anyone can tack on any horrid fact or story to any date. Don't focus on that. Focus on the joy.
And please remember an EDD is just that: an estimation. Your baby could come anywhere from two weeks before, or after, that date (give or take).
Edited a grammatical error.
