I have read about a lady that moved in with her boyfriend and a couple of months later he proposed to her. She said yes and they arranged to have their wedding in one years time. Then she felt unwell and had a positive pregnancy test. Her midwife mentioned her baby's due date. It was near the time of her wedding. She and her boyfriend looked into changing the date of their wedding but financially it wasn't going to be possible. The day before her wedding the lady went into labor and her baby was born at 1am the day of wedding. The hospital staff were surprised when the couple still wanted to go to their wedding that afternoon. They wanted the baby to stay in hospital whilst they got married. The wedding went really well although having just given birth the lady was tired.
Did your kids arrive on their due date, earlier or afterwards?
Have you ever had a really busy day or one with unusual events?

LOL at least everything went according to plan, kind of :)
Both my kids were late, one by almost 3 weeks.
I have had busy days and I have had days with unusual events, but not at the same time, and none that unusual :)

I would be so worried if my baby is born in mid July because she is due in late June. Three weeks after the due date is very late and could result in a large baby I imagine. It was so lucky that everything went well and it was funny that the day was so packed full of important life events.

Yes, at least it all ended well :)
My daughter's due date was exactly my husband's birthday, so I guess she didn't want to share the birthday and decided to greet the world almost 2 weeks later. My son's date was also around dad's birthday - I swear I didn't plan it that way LOL - but he decided to take even longer and was born almost 3 weeks after.

Take care and blessings to you!

Hi my friend Faith. The lady has lots more energy than I do at the moment. She was certain that she wanted her wedding to go ahead. That day is special her because it is her child's birthday and her wedding anniversary. They will be able to have a family party on that day. Lots of love. Maxine

Babies are born at surprising times for some mothers. I know of one lady on a parenting site I go on and her son has just been born. She was just 24 weeks pregnant and he weighed only 1.9kg at birth. I have my fingers crossed for him and hope that she will get stronger every day. I expect my baby will be born a few days before my due date.

My son was due May 20. He was born May 13. I like that he was born on the 13th, because it's my lucky number. It also means that when his birthday falls on Sunday we get to celebrate mothers day and the day I became a mommy at the same time. I have no idea though if he would have been born on his due date. We went in on May 10th for my regular check up and he still hadn't turned. So they scheduled a c-section, rather than wait for me to go into labor and have to do an emergency c-section or breech birth.

Wow! Around your son's 6th birthday was a busy time for you. To have a baby three weeks early at the time of a party is funny. October is such an enjoyable and super busy time for you. My friend had a baby girl on May 14th and the next year a baby boy on May 10th.

I guess her baby couldnt stand the loneliness of being left alone whist its parents were having their wedding party.lol I think I'll have my first baby at least one year later after my marriage.

I guess her baby rushed out to be ready for the wedding but had the disappointment of staying in hospital. The lady fitted loads of important life events into just one day. I am glad that you would do those events with a sensible one year gap or more.

wow!! that's one amazing story, and the bride mother, she's one amazing woman too!!! good thing that the woman was able to stand up the next day. I can't really imagine her going to wedding.. did her wedding gown fit?hehehe well, i can't help wondering.. but that just tells us that if there is a way, there is indeed a will.. if i am in her situation, perhaps i dont mind having to suffer any physical pain as long as i marry the person i love!

From March to the end of June I am looking for birthday presents. You see I had first born on April 18th then I had my second on March 2nd then my third on June 23rd now my birthday is on May 12th so if you re-arrange the kids it goes like this:
Middle child March 2nd
First child April 18th
Me May 12th
Last child June 23rd
So every month during that time I am doing a birthday party for me and my kids lol. It's all good we love it.

I often encounter some unusual case. I have always felt that with me and my brother often encountered some unusual things! I call this miracle! However, in my opinion, the world on the emergence of a lot of miracle, because there is always fruit. You usually only prepared to wonder will naturally arise at your side.

My mom said I was due on the 15th of January, but my birthday is the 21st.. so I was just about a week late for her.. that was 39 years ago. She tells me that I gave her an awful sore tummy.
