I'm not talking about planning your entire pregnancy around a specific date (like having a New Year's baby or that sort of thing) - Just a date that is around your EDD and that for some reason you'd like to have your baby on (feel free to share what that reason may be!).
Re: Poll: Anyone hoping for a specific date?
I don't have a specific date to be born on but I would prefer to avoid August, 6-8th because the 8th is my birthday and I would rather not spend it sitting in a hospital. Although holding a new baby would be a great gift!
As early as possible once I'm full term, because I'm in a wedding on October 17th
I would prefer to have at least a few weeks to recover.
I'm due in the beginning of August and my birthday is July 31st...I would rather NOT be in labor on my birthday...
Either with a baby in my arms or having a nice dinner with my family... not in the hospital!
agreed~ i am due aug 6th and my bday is july 30th- there is a good chance they are going to induce me earlier due to blood pressure- i just dont want to have the baby on my birthday but like pp said, it would be a wonderful gift!
BFP#1 on 02/14/09 BIRTH to Mason 6lb9oz on 10/12/09
BFP#2 on 5/28/11 EDD 2/1/12 Natural M/C on 6/13/11
BFP#3 on 1/20/12 EDD 9/30/12 Natural m/c on 1/27/12
BFP#4 on 4/23/12 BIRTH to Isabella 7lb1oz on 12/19/12
My EDD is 8/26. That is the date my DH's Pa who lived with us passed away so I would prefer if it was not that day. It would the 1 year anniversary of his passing..
My Mom's bday is 8/27 which would be fine, as would 8/25 DH's grandparents wedding anniversary. Really anything BUT my due date would be great.
(August 9th ) For me too since it's my birthday ... but with my circumstances my baby will be induced the last week of July
Hmmm...I always thought August was the 8th month...
My EDD is August 11th--but if the baby wanted to come on my birthday (July 17th) I'd be totally okay with that. Also, my nephews birthday is August 14th so that would be fun as well.
I just realized I didn't put my answer in the OP...
I'm due Oct 2nd but I really hope the LO shows up in september so s/he doesn't have to be the oldest of her/his class (I was the youngest and always loved it...)
My grandma, on the other hand, want me to pop late, as her b-day is Oct 12 and she would LOVe to share it with her great grand child...
I guess we'll see what happens!

However my ob already said he wouldn't let me go that long 2 weeks over due
My EDD is 10/20 and so far most all of my Drs apts have been inadvertently scheduled for 10:20am so maybe that is a sign I could be the small % that actually hit their EDD.
But then again I was walking the other day and this statement came into mind out of nowhere: I am going to have a boy and he will be born on 10/14.
My due date is 8/6 but I'd love for him to be born on 8/7 because my birthday is April 7th and my aunt's is 9/7, my cousin is 7/7 and my MIL is 6/7. It would be cool to have another seven.
Honestly, as long as he's born in August?and not early in July?I'll be THRILLED because I'll be under my DH's health insurance as of 8/1 and the cost for labor & delivery will be $500 as opposed to the $2000 or so under my insurance (for vaginal delivery... C-section would be more). Thankfully his insurance does NOT consider pregnancy to be a pre-existing condition but it sucks that his open enrollment is in July for an 8/1 activation date.

OK
..... Anyhoo Jen my b-day is August 9 too and i too will be induced the last week of July as well
With my DD I was induced at 42 weeks, I hope this does not happen. Since my EDD is 10/19 that would put me close to Halloween. I would just like an October baby. That way the baby will be at least 37 weeks and we don't have any October birthdays on either sides of our families.
For no reason whatsoever Oct. 19th is my favorite day of the year. Really. My edd is 10/12 so it's a possibility. Of course babe could show on my b/d (9/28) or on our anniversary (10/8).
