Gave Birth on my Birthday

Hello,I am a very new mom! I just had my little boy this past March, and actually ended up having him on my birthday.It was a very surreal feeling. I’m so happy he is here, he is my whole world. I couldn’t be more in love, and I’m so happy to be a mom.But I feel very guilty about a selfish thought I am having. I am sad I gave birth on my birthday. No one celebrated it before or after (labour was very much unexpected, early delivery), and I was called selfish by my partner because I cried when he didn’t do anything for it (birthdays have always been huge for us). To be fair to me, it was two days after, and I think I had slept a total of 4 broken hours since giving birth - and was very much in pain and hormonal still.I know it is selfish to feel this way, I was given the greatest gift on my birthday! Sometimes I am happy that we are connected this way, but most of the time I just wish it was a day before or a day after. I would never take my son’s birthday from him - every year moving forward that day will always be for my little guy, I don’t ever want to make him share. I’ve had enough birthdays, and I know it’s about him now.But I am jealous and a bit bitter that my partner’s birthday is coming up and we are throwing him a big party with family and friends. He made me feel so bad about being sad I won’t have that again, but now is looking forward to HIS birthday.I know we can celebrate my birthday on a different day, and we will. I know that my son and I can make special traditions together and bond over our shared day. I know all of this logically, but I’m having a hard shaking the last of this selfish feeling.Do any of you share a birthday with your child? How did you feel about it at first? Did anything change for you? via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2V6SdWK
