Does/did it put you off when your baby's due date is close to a family members birthday?

Especially if its someone you're not very close with.
For example my babies due date is my dad's birthday, and I don't really have a close relationship with him at all. I see him every so often but I had an awful childhood and I can't help but feel like why this day??? Of all days. I pray my baby comes a couple days late 🥲

In ur case it would bother me some but if I got along with the relative then no it wouldn’t .

I dealt with a crappy due date twice.
My second baby was due on my FILs birthday. I absolutely hate him so I was soooooo upset. I didn’t tell my in-laws I lied and kept saying “oh late July early August, no specific date, we don’t want anyone to know really”. Of course “oh the baby should come on my birthday”. 🫩
I was DETERMINED to get that baby out early. I did! 😅
My third I literally kept to myself and didn’t announce to anyone I didn’t see in person. My due date was April 1st. I was like omg if I announce I had a baby that no one knows about on April Fools’ Day, no one will believe me. 🥴 She was born March 31st luckily lmao.

My birthday is the 3rd, my estranged father's birthday is the 5th. My baby is due on the 7th. If born on father's birth date, I see it as that day Redeemed. If on my birthday, a beautiful day to share and if on his/ her own birthday, a new day to recognize and celebrate.

I went into labor on my grandpa’s birthday and gave birth on my mom’s birthday😅 I was just glad it wasn’t on 9/11 in the moment haha! Then I was a little sad about her sharing her birthday with my mom and then I ended up appreciating it because my mom is older of course and definitely knows how to share the spotlight with her grand baby 🙂 it feels special now

We've got 5 birthdays in the span of 4 weeks, adults and kids. No one cares, it just is what it is

Not a family member but our son was supposed to be induced on one of our good friends birthdays but he decided to come on his own the day before his birthday 😂 doesn’t bother me much though! We see them so much might as well be family lol

Yes my baby was due on my dads birthday too and we don’t have the best relationship. My mom wanted her to be born on his birthday SO bad and it pissed me off because she knew we weren’t even talking.

My daughter’s due date was 9/11 which is her dad birthday she ended up being born 8/30 which is funny since we have birthdays 8/28 and 8/29 in our immediate family

My daughter almost came 4/20 i held her in cuz i did not want her bday to be that 😅. I accidentally had my son on my step sister's birthday, and we have a weird relationship, so it's a bit irritating, but nothing to be done now 🤷‍♀️

I have two kids, the first one was born a day after my BIL birthday, my second baby was born a day before my other BIL birthday 😂

I’d say it depends on the relative!

I was induced and they kept failing, the more it kept failing the closer I got to potentially giving birth on my step dads daughters birthday (1st June, she IS NOT my stepsister) which I’m sure would have caused world war 3 and I would have been accused of doing it on purpose blah blah. Luckily my daughter arrived on 31st May
