duplicate birthdays?

[aries2015]

Funny story, I have a older brother & a sister two years apart & both their birthdays are April 12th, and mines is the day after , April 13th. My brother (April 12th bday) has a son with a April 6th bday which happens to be my due date :) how ironic right? I'm kinda hoping she will be born on the 9th though like her father. (October 9th) anyone with duplicate birthdays? :)

We have the same thing...3 birthdays within one week in June 17th, 18th, and 20th and Father's Day to kick them off. Our family is big so we all agreed on a family celebration once every 3 months for all the birthdays within those months. It works out great for us and the kids...they get to have 2 birthdays! My son is April 22nd and my little girl is due April 21st. I don't mind if she comes early or on his birthday because they will have the family birthday together and then theirs will be separate. They will be 3 years apart and I don't see combining birthdays a good thing. She will be the 4th 22nd if she comes. I'm October 22nd my sister is August 22nd my son April 22nd. I think it's pretty cool and if the family handles it right they will think its cool too.

My sister and I are are born two weeks less than two years apart. Hers is July 4 and mine is July 22. My cousin was born two weeks after me on August 5. When I got pregnant, I was told my daughter's due date was August 8. Unfortunately, I had to schedule a csection & August 5 became the best day. I made sure it was okay with my cousin first though.
I would never hope for birthday clumps though. Just think about how your children would prefer seperate experiences that make them feel special! My sister & I had plenty of combined parties when we were younger because lets face it... It's cheaper that way.
It just gets stressful and expensive. We also have a ton of holiday birthdays and it *****. A little one from each of our families born only days from Thanksgiving, two cousins with birthdays too close to Christmas & my SIL, another on New Year's Eve, my mom's always the week of Mother's Day, my step-dad's is in the same month as Father's Day, two more close to Easter, and of course my sister on the Fourth of July.
It just gets hard to get time off around all of the holidays and we live out of state from the rest of our families, so we miss birthday parties due to only coming in town for some of the holidays. It gets expensive traveling and mailing presents.

My father's birthday is christmas eve, and its just ruined his birthday every year because it wasn't handled well when he was a child so birthdays are not really fun for him. :(

As for your kiddos, I don't think wanting them to have the same birthday is really a good reason to get induced. Even if you did chose to, there's no guarantee that the baby will actually arrive within that day, and you could be forcing him/her out before s/he's ready. Just saying.

They didn't mind it, but me being younger than them it sucked for me being the day after. Lol, my parents used to put all our birthdays together but as I got older & it started to bother me  but my parents had no problem separating it. Now that I'm much older I find it pretty cool to share my birthday :) I think it would be better for you to aim for the 25th because it'd be easier instead of being like 2 days apart. The 25th is also my father in laws birthday :)

I was born on my brothers birthday, 6 years apart. We had joint parties when we were younger but individualized. Like we both got to pick birthday supper and what kind of cake. When we got older the parties were seperated, different friends/interests. It was fine. Our parents made sure the day was special for both of us. I think its how things are approached.

This baby is due on april 25th, same as my middle son! I'm wondering if they'll have the same bday or not. They'll be exactly 3 years apart. Did your brother and sister like having the same bday? Or do they wish they had different? I'm curious if I should purposefully have them the same or not. Be induced or not?
