My birthday

[Rosegoldlilly1]

Before i start i know im BU. I just wanted to write on here because i cant say anything to no one else or to my family. Just found out my Dsis is pregnant, obviously she didnt plan for these dates, but the way it would work out is the baby would be due on my 30th birthday.

The past few years since having a child i haven't done nothing for my birthday. Spent it alone being a single parent. Was planning to do something nice with my family for it as its a big birthday. I know i prob will be able to but just feel sad that my birthday will be around the new baby. I know i sound selfish and awful. I am happy for my sister and cant wait to meet my niece or nephew. Just would be nice to celebrate my birthday and have some attention for once in my life.

I think babies rarely arrive on their due dates? And no, it doesn't sound selfish.

I once had a job that included monitoring EDD against actual birth dates, and I don’t think one in a hundred were the same date.
So stop worrying about it. In any case, there is absolutely nothing you can do that will affect the outcome.

However, if the baby were to be born on your birthday, you should view it as a special link between you & the child, and make the very best of it. Then, when it’s your 90th birthday, your niece won’t forget it, because you share that special day!

I agree that babies rarely arrive in their due date

But you ARE being a bit ridiculous and selfish. You are a 30 year old woman moaning about lack of attention due to a newborn baby???
