Leap year babies?

sharon128 · June 2015

is anyone else wondering if they will have a leap year baby?

DizzyMom1 · June 2015

Feb 29th? That would be kinda cool

My due date is too early for that I think, the 14th, but it would be special for sure

eb0830 · June 2015

I was just saying that to my DH the other day. My EDD is 2/22 so you never know!

My half sister has a leap day birthday and so does her great grandmother. What are the odds of that huh?

we always tease her when actual leap day comes around about her "real" age.

BabySeaTurtles · June 2015

I was thinking about that too. Based on LMP my EDD is 2/21 but I haven't had my age scan yet so we'll see!

bookqueen · June 2015

I wish my due date was closer to the end of the month.

I have an aunt who is a leap year baby though so I'm good with any regular day, lol

purplepenguin3 · June 2015

it would be pretty cool

Twindling · June 2015

I was asking my uncle about his leap day birthday and he hated it. Though it'd be pretty neat. He's only like 8 years old "technically" lol
He also said they made him wait until March 1 to get his license and buy liquor.

leap year baby here!

ecmb · June 2015

I'm due 2/25 and my birthday is 2/28. Im definitely wondering if I'll be in labor on my birthday, if I'll have my baby on my birthday or if I'll have a leap baby. All exciting possibilities- I'll just have to have my birthday glass of wine a couple days later

Adrianabates · June 2015

My EDD is 2/29! We'll see!!!

chitownparent · June 2015

OMG---that could totally happen! I calcuated 2/24, so it would be close! That would be crazy!

middy411 · June 2015

It crossed my mind! My EDD is 2/23 so we shall see!

MWM0903 · June 2015

We are due with a leap year baby, 2/29! I'm not sure if I fall in the category of thinking its a cool bday though.

linny4 · June 2015

I'm due feb 28 so it's definately possible.

wisco29 · June 2015

Mine is the 24 but I know I ovulated late so it's possible. Dh and I talked about it already, we will have a cs so chances are slim it would be on that date

camusoh2011 · June 2015

Can I be a stickler and say that technically we're all having leap year babies.

PS I know you mean leap day as in the 29th, and I think it is super cool that some of us have that possibility.

ChristinaD811 · June 2015

My EDD is Feb 24th... not sure how I feel about a Leap Day birthday though

Kath525 · June 2015

I am due the 28th, my first baby was 6 days late. Hoping this one is a day late. I think it would be awesome!

valerie8809 · August 2015

Due the 27th, so it's a possibility!

AdventureMama · August 2015

I'm due the first but I wish I had the possibility of a Leap Day baby! It would be so cool!

cbou · August 2015

I'm due the 27th and my birthday is on the 14th. I have to admit that when I was single I hated being a Valentine baby. I think it would be cool to have a baby on Leap Day, but I'm not sure how fun it would be for the kid! Maybe they would love it.

jellybellybean3 · August 2015

One of my best friends has a leap year birthday and she hates it. I'm pretty sure I would too if I've only had 4 (or so - I'm too tired to figure it out) real birthdays. The concept is cool, but I don't wish that upon my child at all so I'm really hoping he/she isn't really late (due 21st). My first two were both quite early so I'm hoping I am in the clear but I've got my fingers crossed regardless.

Edited for clarity

nicx82x · August 2015

My step daughter is a leap year baby (2012) and I'm due this leap year, so my o/h could have 2 children born on a leap year

ayokay516 · August 2015

My baby is due on Leap Day. Both of my previous pregnancies resulted in perfect, healthy babies born on their due dates. Only 5% of babies are born on their due date. I'm 2 for 2 so far. So hubby and I joke that we should just "book a suite" for the due date cuz baby is coming that day. In this case, that means Leap Day.

MissSammi · August 2015

I'm due on the 28th so it's definitely possible for us. I'll be happy whenever a healthy kiddo is born, but I also wouldn't be upset if baby waited a few days longer and made it to March!

trishkev07 · August 2015

I'm due on February 28th and people keep saying, "Uh oh, I hope it's not born on the 29th." I would LOVE a leap year baby though

camusoh2011 · August 2015

I'm gonna be that person who points out that we are all having leap YEAR babies, though some of you might have a leap DAY baby.

I'm due early Feb so no luck for me on that unique date.

TaraLynnT · August 2015

I am a leap year baby. I'm due the 11th so far too early to have the chance of my baby being born on the 29th and I am thankful for it. It is a conversation starter but it also comes with some hassle and, of course, not having a birthday every year. I'm sure those of you with an annual birthday feel like it takes forever and the day just flies by. Imagine waiting four years for one day. It's very anticlimactic. But, to be optimistic, it can be fun to make each year special for your child. Make your own traditions. And just make sure your insurance recognizes the 29th as a day. Doctors visits and pharmacy pickups can be a pain. ;-)

themommabee · August 2015

Haven't had my dating ultrasound yet (long story...) but estimated due date is the 28th based on LMP. I am hoping not for a leap day baby just because I feel like it would be had to explain to a little kiddo and a pain throughout life. Just another one of the many things that I can't control in this process. It's going to take the whole 9 months plus more for me to get over my Type A control habits!

brookeglenn50 · August 2015

My EDD is 2/29 also!! I'm totally excited about having a leap year baby although I don't know if my baby growing up will be excited about being born on leap day lol we'll see! Can't wait!

stefles · August 2015

I was supposed to be born Feb 29 but I was just over midnight so I'm March 1st. Would be kinda cool if baby bird is born Feb 29, my due date is Feb 25 but who knows!

Melisich · August 2015

I'm due February 28! My husband really wants a leap year baby...I'm a Christmas Eve baby so I feel like I never get to celebrate my birthday on my actual day so I'm hoping not leap year so every year my baby will have his/her own date!

SarahDoodles · August 2015

I was born on leap year and my EDD is leap year too! I hope it works out that way. I'd love to share my birthday!

Ha ha! This totally went through my head too!

diablesse · August 2015

Lurking from Mar 2016.
I'm due Mar 1 and so a leap year baby is completely possible. I'm on the fence as to whether it would be cool or not.

You're definitely having a leap year baby. We all are. You may also get a leap day baby.

I know it's really not a big deal, but for some reason it drives me nuts. Oh well...

breanna86 · August 2015

Oh wow! I didn't even realize it was going to be leap year. But since my EDD is 2/21, and they might let me wait until 41 weeks before having a c section and they don't schedule c sections on Saturdays or Sundays, I may very well be scheduled for Monday, February 29th. Although I'm hoping to go into labor on my own for my last chance at a vaginal birth, if that doesn't happen then it's a cool consolation prize.

loveree · August 2015

I'm due feb 26 I hope the baby comes earlier I'm so scared this is my first baby

lotusrose · August 2015

I'm due 2/26, so it's definitely possible for me!
