Mommas with other children. If you are being induced early or feel like baby will come early are you having Christmas early or late?

Question

My due date is January 1. However I am being induced on December 26 due to blood pressure issues. I’ll be 39+1 if he doesn’t come on his own before that. My husband and I have been thinking of celebrating Christmas early or possible a little after baby is born. We have a 3 year old and 1 and a half year old. They won’t really know the difference of if it’s early, late or on Christmas. So I’m just wondering what others are doing.

Answer

I’d do it early so they have toys to keep them busy while mom is busy:)

Answer

At that age I would celebrate early.

Answer

I’m due 1/6 but being induced 12/30 at 39 weeks . For me that’s enough time past Christmas Day to keep it normal but if for some reason upcoming appointments indicate Christmas may be interrupted we might do it early. But my son is barely 2 so he doesn’t know what day any of it is or even what Christmas really is yet so not a big concern for our situation.

Answer

I’m also getting induced the 26th. We are doing Christmas the weekend before. My parents and his parents both live an hour away so we offered them to come to our house.

Answer

Im due january 7th. Planning on being induced january 4th. However with ym first i was induced 2 weeks early (which puts us on Christmas) so im very nervous that ill end up with high blood pressure again and be induced at 38 weeks again.. and honestly my stress levels are through the roof right now. We have a 20 month old girl and are planning on just celebrating christmas on christmas but if i go into labor then we will just celebrate once im home. She wont know the difference.. we are going to try to do some festive things as  a family like decorating sugar cookies and stuff like that this coming weekend.

Answer

Due January 9th, being induced January 2nd, I'd love for her to come the day after Christmas though (38 weeks).

Answer

I am having a repeat c section on Dec 26th. I have a feeling he might come earlier but maybe that’s wishful thinking. I have a 4 year old. We plan on having it on Christmas Day but worst case he will have Christmas with my in-laws and my mom with his cousins if I’m
In the hospital.

Answer

I’m due 1/2/20 but I’m having to have a c-section which originally was scheduled for 12/26 but now I might have cholestasis so it may end up being before Christmas. 
If it’s before Christmas I think we’ll do some stuff early for my daughter so she has new stuff to keep her occupied while I’m in the OR. But I think we’ll save a couple presents for after Christmas

Answer

I am also due January 1st I plan to get an elective induction on the 31st of this month or on my actual due date due to wanting things to be more planned since me an my husband have 4 girls already but we are doing Christmas early as well just in case baby has other plans if his own it can be out the way an one less thing to worry about
