Sharing a birthday with Daddy

Hi, FTM here and at 40 weeks 4 days, I am ready to meet my little girl any day now. My OB has scheduled me to come in Saturday at 5pm for an induction if I don't go naturally before then, most likely resulting in a Sunday birthday by the time labor gets going and baby is actually here.

Well, daddys birthday is on Sunday and first let me make it clear - he couldn't be more thankful for an amazing birthday present of a healthy daughter on his birthday ...

But... He's worried that he wants baby Raylee to have her own special day and wants to consider asking the OB if we can change the date of the induction.

Thoughts? Experience? Thanks mommas!

    I had an induction on Saturday the 12th which resulted in my baby girl Tessa being born on my birthday the 13th. I'm happy to share my birthday with my sweet little girl and am prepared to make it about her..I can't think of a better person to share a birthday with! I also thought about the fact that is her birthday was the day before or after, family would probably celebrate them together anyway.

    P.S. My grandmas birthday is the 10th and I loved growing up and sharing a cake with her.

    My BF would have been psyched if the baby was born on his birthday, the 9th but it didn't happen haha. I don't share a birthday with my mom, but we have always celebrated Mother's Day the same day/weekend as my birthday and it has never bothered me. As long as you make it about the baby when she's little, I'm sure she will love sharing her dad's birthday as she grows up! It will probably bring them closer.

    My baby is due on sisters birthday and 2 days before hubby's birthday... both are begging me to deliver on that day because if they don't bond over anything else they will always have this. I don't think sharing makes it less special, and because baby is the baby and hubby/sister are grown there will never be shared parties or anything like that. Plus everyone will go out of their way to make the day more special for baby. If anything that's a lucky day because what are the odds? If my baby is born on one of their birthdays I'm definitely playing those numbers lol

    I was born on my Mom's birthday. I never wished I had my own day and I think it's pretty neat. My baby was born on his Great Grandma's birthday.

    My husband wanted baby girl to come on his birthday. I was the one that agreed with your husband. My birthday has always been a big deal and I wanted that for her. My husband on the other hand never really makes much of a fuss so he thought it would be neat for them to share. I think it's all depends on how you both feel about it. Baby girl ended up being born on my great grandma's birthday. She is deceased but my family was really happy that they share the day.

    my hubby did NOT want baby to share his birthday, he likes to party with his friends on that day and wasn't ready to give it up. selfish maybe, but I get it. thankfully our girl arrived three days earlier, so she gets her own super special day!

    (also the day after her birthday is our anniversary. so we will have four days of celebration basically, but everything still gets its own day :) )

    I agree I think it'd be special. My first DD was born on Father's Day a few years ago. Every few years her birthday will fall on Father's Day again and we think it's such a sweet thing to celebrate her and Daddy together. Also, my sister's birthday is the day before mine. It was never a problem, even when we were little and had joint parties. Don't worry about it. I had DD2 on 9/11 and wasn't super excited about that being her birthday but it really doesn't matter.

    I asked to be induced with my second and third baby. My third was already over due and my dr actually scheduled my induction on my birthday. My time to come in was 8pm. I waited for hours because they didn't have a bed open. So I didn't get a room until the next day, just hours after my birthday ended. She was born on the 8th of Nov, mine is the 7th. We are happy she got her own day. Plus my nephew already shared a birthday with me. But if she was born on my birthday I would still be thrilled. My fourth is actually due Feb 8th and my husbands birthday is the 18th, my son is the 21st. I've been over due with all 3 of my kids so I wouldn't be surprised if baby is due day(s) close to their birthdays.
