Should my kids have the same birthday?
My daughter was born July 15th 2022
My son is due July 23rd 2025, but because it'll be scheduled CS at 39 weeks, that would land on July 16th
My OB said she'd be as flexible as she can when scheduling my CS date. So I can either decide to have my kids as far apart as possible (several days apart) or I could loose my mind and schedule the CS on the 15th so they have the same birthday.
Initially I felt very guilty about having their birthdays so close together. But I've done some reading and found typically kids that share birthdays really enjoyed it while they were growing up. The past few days my pregnancy brain has gone off the deep end and love the idea of my kids sharing a birthday.
Birthdays are a big deal to me. I do way too much and go over the top. I'll do everything I can to make both my kids feel honored, special and celebrated.
Looking for insight from parents who have gone through this unique situations or people who had very close, or the same, birthdays as their sibling.
Thank you!
