To not want a Christmas Day baby

I just feel soooo guilty "what if I'm not here Christmas morning for the kids"

Baby's due tomorrow. Iv had 2 sweeps, got kidney stones and on antibiotics (all should induce labour) but Seriously no bloody sign of an arrival. Doing everything I can but I feel perfectly fine in myself I can't sit still and bump is still pretty high

Baby number 3- first was 2 weeks late , 2nd was a week early so yea was no telling what way this will go
I'm just dreading it being over Xmas eve or Xmas as their such a special magical time I don't want to miss with my other 2 baby's. This is such a big gear and i know baby's coming when baby wants to come theirs no waiting lol

I just don't want to get everything set up Xmas eve for Xmas morning then go into labour through the night then they will see what Santa's brought and me and their dad miss it as we won't be here.

I sound so selfish I just don't like missing any time with them?? their always with me and doing things with me. I only have a break when they go nursery 3 days a week an that's only 1-6!! Then I don't want the baby being born on Christmas Day as people keep sayin "it'll save us a fortune buyin one present for 2 occasions if baby's born Xmas day""
I don't agree with that at all and I have said if baby is born Xmas day the birthday will be celebrated either before or after like a proper birthday
Just feel shit iv clearly not planned the dates well here ??

Sorry he’s an arse OP.

Just think of the little bundle you are having shortly and concentrate on lovely thoughts about that.

Do you know if it’s a boy or girl yet? Smile

@Elieza I think calling him an arse is being to polite...
but I am I'm thinking positive without him. Can't wait have this baby he's going to have one hugeeee shock! He's guna be getting left with the kids willy billy why I go sit in the cafe an have a break an stuff or even the odd night out (I don't drink but hey I can have a Fanta lol)
But it's going to be a supprise! Just want my baby here so I can have snuggles with "him" an my other 2! Xxx

Congratulations OP! Did your DH support you during the birth? How long are you going to stay in hospital? I was out of hospital as soon as possible but I knew my husband would look after older two.
