Having a September 11th baby...

Katherine
I'm due on the 11th, and I just had a random thought. 9/11 was a tragic day in history, and even though I live in Canada, we do observe the day as a somber day. I've read that women would be offered to put Sept 12 on the birth section of the birth certificate, or even get c sections so they can avoid giving their kid that day as their birthday. I personally don't really care that my son is probably gonna be born on that day, but I'm concerned about the stigma. He's gonna go to school on his birthday and learn about what happened and end up getting upset because it's his birthday and he's supposed to be happy. I might be overthinking things.....but what are your thoughts? I've got tons of time between now and when he's old enough to go to school, I'm just curious what people think.
