Our current due date is one day after my toddler's 2 birthday....?

Question

Will it be bad to have their birthday's so close together? Will they regret this? Anyone with a similar situation?

Answer 1

Me and my bother have bdays about a week apart, and we always had a joint family party, but when we got older and made friends we each had our own friends party that way we could be individuals, so i would not say its bad to be so close.

Answer 2

My daughter will be 2 in May, 4 days before my due date! I'm actually excited that they will have their birthdays close together (or even the same day..?), when they're little it will be easy to have one big birthday party instead of two. Later on they may hate it, but we'll figure that out when we get to that point. Besides, May is an awesome month to have a baby so that's nice too. I'm just glad I made it to my goal of not having the second until the first is at least 2 years old. Whew!

Answer 3

I've been worrying about the same thing! My youngest (so far) son's birthday is April 20th, and my due date is April 22nd.

I know a set of siblings whose birthdays are about a week apart and they say that it was never a bad thing. Their mom tells me that even though the birthdays were often celebrated together that she found ways of pleasing each child and making each child's actual birth date a special occassion. I hope that I can do the same. If you come up with any great ideas, let me know!

Answer 4

Too late....how can they regret something they are not responsible for. My niece and nephew are born on the same day, a year apart. Never been an issue. They have one huge party every year; her friends, his friends, and family. They each get a cake. Twins do it all the time and I have never heard of it being a problem. Give your children credit, most are not emotional weaklings that can't handle sharing their birthday. Heck, my three boys are born in March, April & May and they get one party in June. All they care about is the presents.
Relax you have greater things to focus on. They will be fine. Good luck.

Answer 5

It's a little too late to be worried about that and why are you anyway? They can celebrate their birthday together, but most babies aren't born on their exact due dates anyway. It could be another month. A due date is just an estimate. He/she will come when they get ready.

Answer 6

Not much you can do about it now is there?!!

Why did you start trying for another one knowing when the due date would have been?

I think it's a good thing - you only have to have the in-laws etc over once a year instead of twice. It will be heaps cheaper! I would just be thankful that I am pregnant. It probably won't come on it's due date anyway.

Answer 7

Your toddler will be so excited about a new baby brother or sister. Just incase your in hospital take a present from the baby to give to him. By the the time they get older they will know no different. They will still get there own presents and that's all kids really care about on there day.

Answer 8

currently i am due 10 days before my almost 4 years old. i dont think that it will be a bad thing. my sister has 4 kids and 3 out of the 4 kids bdays are 2 weeks apart and they never seemed to mind it

Answer 9

Yes, actually my first son was born on March 31st, my second son was born on April 2nd and well im 39 weeks due and my due date with this one is April 4th. Also my husband and his brother have the exact same birth date just 2 years apart. Alot of people think its neat to have. I don't think anything of it, either than it's expensive! Tell her not to worry about it.

Answer 10

you have have been given some great suggestion. i might bypass as long as I knew there replaced right into a well being midsection interior of sight. humorous tale: One saturday while i replaced into 38 weeks, my mom and that i desperate to bypass paying for. nicely my water broke at Sears and we went to the closest well being midsection and had a toddler early the subsequent morning. We have been in basic terms 40 miles from domicile, yet we've been 80 miles from the well being midsection that I had planned on handing over in. It wasn't a huge deal to me. yet another tale: while i replaced into 36 weeks with my son, I had went to bypass see the well being practitioner, and asked them in the event that they theory if i ought to bypass to the lake that weekend. An hour and a 0.5 away, devoid of hospitals close. He checked me and instructed me to bypass. My water broke the subsequent morning and we had a toddler that day instead of going to the lake.
