Hi ladies, I've been a listener from the start and saved the recent episodes for my postpartum stage.

I've just listened to you asking about people who share their birthdays with special celebrations.

On the 1st of October, I gave birth to my second little boy, Wilder.

Oh, on his older brother, Oakley's third birthday.

I'm almost six weeks postpartum and just about getting over the mum give of missing Oakley's birthday whilst I was in labour.

We're already planning a holiday next year to celebrate their first and fourth birthdays.

I hope they grow up loving their special day because mum and dad make it magical for them every year. That is absolutely adorable, isn't it? Yes. Oh, imagine them having on the same day. Well, they obviously have a special day. You just can't. It doesn't. I mean, I know you can plan. But you're equally, you can't not plan. Because I feel like it's really rare also to have your baby on your actual due date. Yes. And do you remember Louise, my friend Louise? Yes. Both girls came on their due dates. So the dates that she got confirmed by the hospital, the girls both arrived. What do you think the percentages of doing that? I don't know. One out of four of mine did come on their due day yeah that's that's crazy that's that's crazy but three years apart that was nearly tobias and ember yes but they're they're two days apart

they are two days apart two days and two years i did think that i did think she was going to come on his birthday, yeah. You did. And you do feel guilty and you are worried. You don't want to miss being there for their special day. Yeah. But if they're coming, there's nothing you can do. No, I think they'll grow up loving that. But equally it is lovely. Think about when they're young and you can have it together. Shared birthday parties. Yeah. And holidays. The only thing you can do when they are older is celebrate if it falls maybe their birthday falls on a Wednesday. You could have one the weekend before and one the weekend after when they get bigger. Yeah. But that's going to be so much fun. They might really enjoy it like when they're like our age now. Yeah. There will be a phase. I think they'll hate it. Yeah, obviously. But obviously when you get older, like, when they're, like, R-H now. Yeah. There will be a massive birthday.

I think they'll hate it.
