You'll be happy with a complication free delivery and a healthy baby. You could care less about the day you go into labor or delivery, I know that.
But it's always nice when the day of the week you give birth happens to be convenient as well. A little bonus, if you will, to make life easier.
Moms who schedule Cesareans know what I'm talking about. Second time moms like to have their surgeries on a Monday or Tuesday so they can ride out the five days without worrying about who will take care of their older child. First-time moms may pick a Friday so their working husbands only need take one day off from work instead of several.
I lucked out and had both my kids on a weekend. That worked out great for my husband, a teacher, who didn't have a lot of time off coming.
Some moms from the community would prefer a Monday so their hubby will take the entire week, plus have the weekends. One mom said she prefers a weekday because it will deter too many visitors coming. Another wishes for a Friday so her friends and family can stop by right after the baby is born.
So many considerations it's enough to blow your mind … welcome to motherhood.
What day of the week do you hope to deliver your baby?
