Kids sharing a birthday?

So my c/s date has been moved up two weeks due to gestational hypertension. I will talk to the surgical scheduler early next week, but it's looking like this baby could share her birthday with the twins march 27th.

Depending on how flexible the schedules are this late in the game I may have a say in date. If you could choose would you want all your kids having the same birthday? Either way they will be super close. The novelty is kind of cool in the short term, but I have mixed emotions about it all. Thoughts?

    Twins already have to share enough, don't make them share their birthday with ANOTHER sibling ! nbsp;I would say if you can control it, do it on a different day like maybe 2 days apart or something.


    I agree!

    Speaking from experiance... my mother had the same issue so instead of me and my sister having the same birthday hers is the day after mine. My mom said that when she went into labor she really did not want us to share a birthday but now wishes we did. And I agree... Because ours were so close as yours would be, she had to work hard to make each day seem special without making the other jealous. When we celebrated separately it was hard to have your "big day" then not speak of it the next as to not take away from the others day, and I know the reverse was true for my sis. For this reason we pretty much have celebrated together every year. So if they do all have the same birthday just make a big birthday extravaganza out of it! They will look back fondly on it... Or at least I do!

    My kids don't like it so we always celebrate one early and one late. They are 4 years apart.

    I'm actually due on my daughter's birthday. I know that I can't choose when I go into labor, but if there is anyway I can prevent having this baby on my daughter's birthday I will. It's bad enough that she has to share her parents now, at least she can have her own birthday. If I could control it, I'd try to have the new baby not on the twins' birthday.

    No big deal. I mean honestly a couple days apart or the same day will they change things?

    That's kind of what I'm thinking too.

    How about asking your twins? I think they may be old enough to understand the idea. And then if they ever complain later in life, you tell them it was their decision :D

    The more i think about it, I find myself having a similar train of thought. Knowing DH and I, we will do one big celebration anyway. They are going to end up within a day or two of each other no matter what.

    Thanks everyone for your thoughts! It's comforting knowing I'm not alone in this situation! Thanks.
