The doctor told me that we can schedule the c/s after May 27, and my due date is June 2. DS's birtday is on Jan 30th and i thought it would be cute to have both children on the 30th. But the only day that someone in our family doesnt have a birthday is May 31. Would you pick that day just so LO doesnt share a birthday? Is it really a big deal if LO shares a birthday or am I just being weird.

Personally, I would pick the 30th. My two are born on the 13th and 14th, and I thought it would've been even cooler if they were both born on the 13th.
My DS will be 2 on march 18, and I scheduled my RCS for march 19. I want DS and DD to have different days so they can still have their own special days growing up.

I would pick a separate day. I had to pick between November 3rd and 4th (the 4th is my birthday) and I picked the 3rd because I want her to have her own special day.

My mom got to pick a date with my sister and she picked my grandpa's birthday. She grew up sharing March 12 with my grandpa and it gave them a special bond. I think you need to pick a day that you want even if someone else has a birthday on that day.
I think it's nice if everyone has their own day, if possible.
That being said, how close are you with the person with the May 30th birthday? If it's a more distant relative I wouldn't worry about it. A sister/brother/cousin would be a little different for me.
My LO was born on May 31 so I'm partial to that day. But I think it's cute to have your LOs both on the 30th - are you close to the person who has the birthday on May 30? If not then I don't think it matters.
ETA: I know the idea of having a "special day" is cute but on the other side, my sister and I have the same birthday! We are 5 years apart. It was always really neat sharing a birthday and there was never any jealousy with gifts or anything like that. So it's not always a bad thing!
Kate was born on 12/5, and my doctor wants to do the RCS on 4/4. I'm not gonna lie, I have though about convincing her to do it 4/5 instead so they would both be on the 5th.
I labored with two of my children, so they are two different months, the 22nd, and 26th. With my third,(no VBAC option) I chose the 26th so the boys would have the same date (different month). Now with my fourth...It will be the 22nd after my daughter if it is a girl, or 26th if it is another boy! My brothers and I have 5th/6th dates which were a coincedence and we never forget each others birthdays. Everyone is different! I just think it is fun! Do what YOU want, and don't listen to others.

The28th is DS's second cousins kids who will be 5 this year which we see about 6 times a year and 29th is DS's cousins wife which we see once a year and the 30th is DS's second cousins kid which we see for every holiday and once a month or so for birthday parties. He will be 17 this year. I think we may go with the 29th just because we dont see her very often or wait til the 31st.
