hospitals were flooded

It never even crossed my mind! Since the hospital here is a "shared room" hospital, I'm hoping that means I'll get lucky and have a room to myself! Let's hope, now that everyone had their babies last weekend....

Mommy2Isabella replied: Sal said they were talking about it on CNN Record Numbers of C-Sections were performed on the 5th, and many women were induced this weekend, to keep from having their babies on the 6th!!! I thought it was crazy!!!!

lisar replied: That is crazy to me. I wouldnt want them to take the baby or anything like that unless they had no other choice. Not because I was scared of a date. It weired to me.

Oh, so it was a national thing!! That's just amazing to me! Sorry, but it's just a date IMO!!!!!!!!! Plenty of people have their birthdays on 9/11.

MyLuvBugs replied: That is insane! I agree with you Rae, it's just a date. Unless you're a wolf/dog and you give birth to a human child with 666 etched in it's skin, you're kid isn't the devil encarnate just b/c it's born on 6-6-06. Good Grief!

CantWait replied: Oh my that's funny. I wouldn't want my child to be born on 6-6-06, but I wouldn't go as far to be induced to avoid it.

Cece00 replied: Even though I think its just a date, I could see why SOME ppl would want it, b/c other ppl would always be like "Your child's birthday is 6/6/06??? OMG." I think its lame to do it b/c YOU are nervous about the date, but I could also see why ppl would want to hear ppl make comments about their kids birthday for the rest of their lives.

MyBabeMaddie replied: A local DJ brought up a good point (in my opinion - Oh I just realized is that was IMO stands for?!) lol anyways The sign of the beast is 6 6 6 not 6 6 06... Why are we ignoring the 0 6? People didn't freak out on 6/6/96 (ignore the 9) Even if we abbreviate the date which is 06/06/06 - we still dont get 3 6's simultaneously. I still wouldn't wanna be born/have a child on that day but I wouldn't go to any extreme to change it.
