March 2012 Moms

2012 is leap year

Does that mean our EDD get moved up a day you think? I mean really it's just a day, but I wonder if there will be some February 29th babies!

Re: 2012 is leap year

  • My husband and I were actually talking about this the other night. We couldn't decide if we would do February 28th or March 1st for the baby's birthday on non-leap years.

  • It means that since there is an extra day in February, you would subtract a day for any due date after the 29th. Most of the due date calculators take it into consideration, but the wheel at the doctor's office does not.

  • I'm due 3/3 and since this is my second there's a greater chance of going earlier. Guess I've got a shot at a leap year baby!

    Of course there will be February 29th babies. It's still a calendar day.

  • It will be exciting to see who out of the Feb and March moms have leap year babies.  I don't expect to (3/17) but some of us certainly will.
  • I taught a kid last year w a 2-29 birthday.  I think it's totally cool.  He turned 19 last year but we said he was really only 4 haha.

  • I was just thinking about this yesterday... if this LO comes as late as my son did, it's likely it'll be a leap year baby.

    So did I. With the amount of pregnant women on this board and on February, at least one person is bound to give birth that day.

  • Ok so I am ashamed to admit it, but--- I was SO confused as to why dr's wheel and online calculator were not the same! LOL!Embarrassed Can I blame it on pregnancy brain!?

    So I guess that means I'm actually due March 9th.  I am so ditzy lately--- I apologize in advance....Embarrassed

  • Yeah I'm due March 2nd, so I have a solid chance of a leap year baby. I think it would be really cool. 
  • so this finally makes sense to me, i knew it was a leap year but didn't think about it much. i was always told to get your due date you subtract 3 months from your lmp date then add a week. so last time i was 10/9 and due 7/16. this time was 6/11 and due 3/17 - so now i know why not the 18th!

     

    am i the only one who thinks being a leap year baby would suck? you would never get to celebrate your REAL bday? and which day would you pick, 2/28 or 3/1?
