I am currently 38 weeks and 5 days pregnant.

My due date is 3/27 and my biggest fear is that I will go past it. I am thinking I will at this point. I know I have longer cycles 33 days than most, which I heard can effect the due date, which my dr didn't take into account.

My birthday is March 14th, so I was really excited she was going to be a March baby as well, but my niece has her birthday on April 3rd, and If I go late, they have a chance of having the same birthday or having them only a day apart.

To most people this isn't a big deal, but for me it's the worst possible scenario. I want her to have her own birthday that is somewhat spaced out.

My Dr. said that he would be willing to give me an elective induction after my 40th weeks, so around March 28th or 29th, but now I don't know what to do!

Do I have the induction, which I know has some dangers to it, and risk the natural med free birth I want, and risk a csection. I would be so upset with this outcome. OR do I wait it out u til week 41 4/3, my nieces birthday and chance the same birthday or worse a day or two after her birthday. I would be super upset with this outcome too.

I would feel like... I should have just got the induction earlier and had her birthday in March like I wanted and had her birthday spaced out, not so close to my niece.

If it weren't for the fear of the same birthday it wouldn't be such an ordeal. Then, I would just be worried about the induction messing up my natural med free birth plan.

I feel so conflicted. I have no idea what I want to do. Nobody really has an answer either. My 39 weeks appointment is Wed. and I need to have what I want to do in my head, so I can have this discussion with my Dr.

Thoughts?

    No, I would not schedule an induction based on someone else's birthday. I wouldn't care if they shared a birthday, but even if I did, I can't imagine caring that it would be "worse" a day or two after the birthday. Sorry, but this post is really rubbing m

    My DS shares his b-day with my grandma & is a day before DH's dad's b-day.  My grandma thinks it was the most special thing having him born on her b-day and it doesn't bug me at all that they share their day.  It makes it easier to have fami

    Goodness no! Don't let someone else's birthday affect you. Your daughters birthday will be your daughters birthday. I'm due on the 27th as well, and as uncomfortable as I might be I know he's going to come out when he's ready and since I sincerely don'

    Honestly, if my worst case scenario in this whole pregnancy/birth is that my lo shares a birthday with someone else, I'd consider myself pretty damn lucky. I really hope you don't show any resentment toward this lo if they decide to come on a day you don'

    I kinda know what you mean, I just passed a bunch of birthdays on the same day that were shared by three other kids in the family (Glad I got through that), all in all though if he was born on that day... there is nothing that could change that. My bod

    My LO is due on the 27th and my birthday is on the 29th.  I would prefer baby's birthday not to fall on my own (since I want him to have his own special day), but I could not imagine doing elective induction to avoid it.  If we share a birthday

    I want to say that I TOTALLY understand the worry about the baby sharing a birthday, as silly as it was it was totally one of my fears when I was getting pregnant. However, as your due date gets closer I think the main thing you should focus on is a ha

    What I would do is not ever induce a labor for a non medical reason, I'd wait it out. To each their own though.
