Amelia was born on a Wednesday in December - she was induced though, so I'm not sure if the day of the week actually counts in her case since it wasn't spontaneous.

I haven't had any baby in July or on a Tuesday. My doctor here told me that August is consistently the busiest month for them over at Northport. I wonder if it varies regionally. And I have to think that the Tuesday is heavily influenced by the growing trend for scheduled births - both inductions and scheduled c-sections, all on the rise. Those are generally done on a weekday, right, and not on the weekends?
I have a Tuesday baby! But he was born in September. I was so glad I went into labor when I did. I wanted to go into labor by the end of Labor day weekend so bad, because I knew that week would be totaly crazy at work. I was huge and tired and ready to start my maternity leave NOW...lol. So, Monday came and went and I thought I'd have to return to work Tuesday, but my water broke at 4 AM Tuesday!

My son was born on a Saturday in October. I went into labor on the afternoon of the 28th, and I recall telling the L&D staff I wanted the baby to born after midnight. As it happened, he arrived at 12:07am on the 29th, which is the birthday of a very good friend of mine. For some reason, it was important to me that they share the same birthday.
Evie- Great day to have a baby, Oct. 29th is my birthday! =) Yay!
I had Ashtyn on Valentines Day and had her on a Thursday (I went in on Wednesday around 8 p.m.) I refused for her to come any sooner than 12:01 because I wanted a Valentines Day baby. It stands pretty true, I always get what I want. Ha! I said that she would either be born Valentines Day or on my Grandpas birthday Feb 23 and I wouldn't take any other day. I suppose I "willed" her out. I wasn't due until March 6th so I was very shocked to actually have her on V Day. Thursdays were also when my weeks changed, I still love Thursdays, best day of the week in my eyes.

Ashley, That was same thing I did-willed him to wait until after midnight. I held off as long as I could, the dr. made a comment that anyone else at the stage I was in would be begging GET THIS BABY OUT NOW!!! I was saying KEEP THIS BABY IN FOR 10 MORE MINUTES!!!!
