That’s a good date DS birthday Now is the time to admit I had a moment of being totally shallow: the Dr first suggested 4 May. Initially I was like ‘why so early?’ given I’m due 16 May, but then I realized ‘ugh I don’t want her birthday to be Star Wars day!’ So I told him that and he laughed at me but then we agreed on the 8th. I’m much happier with the 8th anyway: 8 days early is plenty. DD came 7 days early when I went into labour naturally.

That's funny, May 4th is my due date and it doesn't bother me if we have a Star Wars Day baby. I agree that May 4th seems pretty early for your due date, though. If I go early or need to be induced again, I'll probably have an April baby. For some arbitrary and ridiculous reason (separate from my financial reasons), I don't love that and really want the baby to be born in May. It's such a silly thing, but for some reason I've thought about it several times.

I probably need a better filter before I say stuff like that to a medical professional ha ha.

I'm hoping for an April baby, but mostly because our May- early July is crazy with birthdays & events. And also because I'm ridiculously uncomfortable and ready to be done vomiting daily.

I just want to avoid a mother’s day baby at all costs. I don’t want to share that day ever. Sorry not sorry.

I was born on mother’s day and then DD was born on my birthday (though it wasn’t mother’s day that year). This year is her birthday, my birthday, and mother’s day all on the same day. 🙄

I would loooove a June baby because in addition to the previously mentioned clusterfuck that is mine and DD’s bdays and Mother’s Day, DH is a May birthday (may 4 in fact, which he adores), my brother is a May birthday, and DH and I got married in May. It’s insane. My EDD is 5/31 so it could happen. But DD was right on due date so who knows.

DD was due on May 1st and she was born early in April. I was kind of disappointed mainly because I was excited for the May birthstone so there's my shallow for the day.
And now this one is due May 31st so my luck is she'll be born in June.

Aww I would love a Star Wars day baby! I'm still undecided about when to request my C-section date. DS#1 was born at 39 weeks, and seemed to not be ready so for DS#2 we chose to go a few days later at 39.5 weeks and he definitely seemed ready. But having the uterine window last time makes me feel like earlier is better to try to avoid any complications. So I'm just super undecided at this point.

DS has been comparing our stomachs. He points to his and says, "small," points to DH and says, "bigger," and mine and says, "oh...that's a giant tummy." The mom of one of my students asked me recently if I had told the students about the baby yet. I told her I haven't officially addressed it with the class (my students have moderate to severe disabilities and many have severe anxiety and perseveration issues, so I'm waiting until April), but that it's not really a secret. When I asked why, she said that when a relative asked her son a few weeks ago what his teacher was like, he said "she's fat". It's one thing for the kid to say it, but I can't believe the mom told you he said that. And it goes in line with the don't ask a woman if she's pregnant. I would have had the biggest WTF face. That said, I have had a few of my pediatric patients tell me my tummy was really round and the moms correct them and tell them there's a baby inside.

I didn't even think about having a Star Wars baby! My due date is May 6th and I kind of really love the idea of him being two days early now.

Yeah, I'm overweight in general, so it was a little awkward for me. Especially because it was during a CSE meeting in front of everyone. This is the same mom who asked me point blank in November if I was pregnant, so I wasn't super surprised.
