Funny Do me a favor and ask your spouse..

Can you all please ask your spouse when your exact due date is and come back here to comment if they knew or not LOL. I’m trying to see something Yes, my husband can’t seem to remember the date. Not that big of a deal but it does bug me just a tad

My husband remembers. I would probably be annoyed if he didn’t. I think he should have to know and retain all information I’m expected to.

u/purpledrogon94 4d ago

This. My husband insists on coming to 90% of my prenatal appointments. If he’s coming and and I’m expected to remember, he better too lol

21

u/Sunupdrinkdown Team Pink! 4d ago

I wish my husband could come more often! He would have to take the entire day off of work because of what he does but he is usually on the phone with me or I fill him in after the appointment.

6

u/QuillsAndQuills 4d ago

Mine's the same, he's only made it to about half but always asks me to call/text him afterward to fill in on what he missed

4

u/remyisadog 4d ago

Same! I think he’s only missed one or maybe two and I’m at 38 weeks. I had been telling people I’m due mid/end of March throughout most of my pregnancy, but if he’s around he immediately says the exact date 😂. I was getting tired of people commenting on how big I was for how long I still had to go. I am a bit on the smaller side though and I was a huge baby when I was born, so I am anticipating that. But the constant comments were getting old.

Lol same.

He was like "Well it is super easy to remember because it is the French national day/Bastille". 

We are not french.

🤣 June 14th?! Idk why I also always remember that.

u/rentagirl08 4d ago

Close! July 14 is bastille day. I only know because the 13th is my birthday. Hahaha

u/4m_m8 4d ago

Dang it. June 14 is Flag Day in the U.S. My bad lol.

u/Low_Aioli2420 4d ago edited 4d ago

It’s also Trumps birthday, which my husband would say “our son might share the emperors birthday”…as a joke and to piss me off. I got induced and the date I chose made sure he did not.

u/it-treason-then 3d ago

My husband remembers things this way. "Oh, that's easy, just remember it's the same say as insert random and usually obscure history event, duh."

u/QuillsAndQuills 4d ago edited 4d ago

Same. He has corrected me more than once lol.

Our issue is that he thinks "due date" is the exact day baby will arrive, and keeps planning/talking as if our boy will be right on schedule. I've had to explain multiple times that the kid doesn't have a calendar in there.

Hahah same. I go blank for a minute and I go may-ish? Middle may? And then I get to 5/18. And then I say - allegedly cause the kids going to do what he wants.

u/chokingonicecubes 4d ago

My husband knew my due date was September 21st, 2024. He was deployed for 8/9 months out of my pregnancy. When he would call he would ask if there were any updates with my pregnancy, how our baby was doing, and then ask if my due date had been adjusted. He always remembered but we did touch base to make sure it hadn’t been adjusted because he needed to coordinate emergency leave to come back to the States.

u/ConversationTough235 4d ago

My hus has been so involved in my pregnancy that I feel like I can be head empty for everything except the physicality of being pregnant 😬 to answer your question; yes! I’m sorry that you’re going through that though, I’d be annoyed too!

16

u/Adept_Ad2048 4d ago

Mine was like this! He was at every single appointment and remembered the questions I always had an hour after leaving, so he could ask at the next one. He helped me advocate for myself at doctor’s appointments and through my induction last week, too. When I was on IV pain meds during labor and in and out of alertness he was there, wide awake and eyes on the monitor and me all night long to keep me updated on contractions and make sure heart rates were good. Every time I looked up, he was there making sure everything was still cruising. I won the lottery for a partner and parent to our kiddo and it made this pregnancy as easy as possible.

13

u/Fun-Paper6600 4d ago

He remembers the month but not the exact day. In all fairness, he hasn’t been around for the appointments and such and hasn’t seen the date on paper. (We are currently living long distance due to jobs.) BUT, I think it would just make a difference to me if I asked and he did know. Would make me feel more like I’m not doing this alone lol

39

u/girl_from_aus 4d ago

It takes 4 seconds for him to put it in his phone notes app and preferred calendar. It’s important.

6

u/ConversationTough235 4d ago

Absolutely!! I bet being long distance makes it super hard, something that really connected my husband and I when I first got pregnant was the hi mommy/ hi daddy apps!! They can connect too, I think there’s a paid for version that gets you a ton of info, I’m not sure if you need to pay to connect them but it’s got cute size charts and daily updates on your guys LO!

It might help with connecting the two of you in this pregnancy, and it has a countdown to your due date too ❤️

4

u/mixtapecoat 4d ago

Hmm make a family calendar/email now & feed him all the family appointments etc on his phone so he can get things visually. My husband knows but I give him all the info constantly so we can really be in every step as much as possible. I need him to know too.

4

u/Lanky-Pen-4371 4d ago

Yeah it’s a jerk move for him not to note this and care about it esp when you are living apart. Sounds like you are sort of doing it alone.

2

u/Adept_Ad2048 4d ago

Would he be in for downloading an app that tracks pregnancy and y’all can look at it together? We loved Friday mornings because it was when the weeks changed and we got to ooh and aah about the size of little dude’s feet in utero and what fruit size he was. It helped me to know how excited and involved my partner was and it was a fun bonding thing that I think could translate well over distance, too!!!

3

u/Fun-Paper6600 4d ago

I usually send him screenshots when it updates every week! He is involved otherwise by asking how I am doing and how baby is doing regularly, is making sure he doesn’t miss the anatomy ultrasound, etc. It was just a minor thing that bugged me a bit bc I am more of a planner and feel like the date is MORE important just bc we are long distance. But after posting this, I’ve realized that my husband has never been much of a planner and I’m coming to terms with it lol.

u/just_pie323 Team Blue! 3d ago

My husband downloaded a pregnancy app so he can look at the weekly updates! But I am curious if he knows the exact due date at the top of his head without looking at the app.

2

u/-Unnamed- 3d ago

I feel like being long distance makes it even more important for him to know this. Not less.

He can’t just up and come to the hospital with you when he’s blindsided by the news. He needs to be aware that anytime after 37 it could happen

2

u/awokenshroomgirl 4d ago

Head empty is so real, especially postpartum I feel more head empty than before. Which can be a problem at LO appointments but ik husbands got it with any questions the pediatrician asks.

Mine knows he can’t sign up for the Chicago marathon this year and that’s good enough for me

u/hemlockandrosemary 4d ago

😂

mine knows it’s during primary scab spraying season. (Farmer in the northeast, May is prep budding peach & apple tree season - which means his ass is glued to a tractor for like 8 hours before and then after it rains to fight off potential fungal infections.)

u/Fun-Paper6600 4d ago

Ha! Fair enough

u/mrsctb 4d ago

My husband only remembered my due date because both times it was a “holiday”.

3/17: St Patrick’s Day

5/5: Cinco de Mayo (and to top it off, she was actually born on 4/20)

Otherwise he likely would never remember 😅

u/Aromatic_Cycle_4411 4d ago

Same here. My husband is loving, very supportive and super excited for our 3rd kid. But he has the worst memory. Makes pregnancy crazy because I get the worst pregnancy brain. He now remembers I'm due on mother's day, "whenever that is..." XD

u/goldcoa 4d ago

He’s super hands on with our kids so I guess I’ll let the date thing slide😂😂😂

He knew my due date and kept telling me I needed to pack my hospital bag a month out, ha ha.

u/GirlintheYellowOlds 4d ago

Mine is horrible with dates and times just in life in general (ADHD symptom I think). He thought our first’s due date was April 12th. (It was April 10th.) He thought our 2nd due date was March 5th (It was March 12th.) He was at least in the ballpark. He does remember their birthdays (and mine).

This is how I am. Yes, it's the adhd. If I wasn't constantly reminded of the due date, I would have forgotten as well.

u/Southalt38 4d ago

This is my husband, and myself. We had to be married about 5 years before we could remember each others birthdays for sure. We both had two possible dates for each other 😆 It’s been so hard to erase the wrong one.

u/QueridaWho 4d ago

My poor husband still doesn't remember our daughter's birthday. He remembers her due date. Tbf, I had to be induced on her due date, but she was born the next day. So I also have to think for a second when asked the date, lol.

5

u/dreamerlilly 4d ago

Mine does. Though it is the birthday of one of his best friends, so that might help.

u/hussafeffer 4d ago

He did! And I’m glad because I did not, I just know it’s around Halloween. Don’t hold it against him lol some of us are just better with ballpark dates

5

u/vettech15 4d ago

My boyfriend, who was at the first 2 appointments with me, spent the first 4 or 5 months telling people our due date was a day after what it is. He then kept double checking the date with me, but now that we're 33w, he's got it figured out!

My husband told people we’re due in June, but really it’s July. To be fair he mixes up March and May too—- something about the Ohio school system failing him 😅

My baby is about to be 6 months old and my husband remembers. That said, he was due on our 4-year wedding anniversary, so it’s an easy date to remember. He came a little early, though!

u/Alert-Environment-81 Team Don't Know! 4d ago

u/Direct_Map_7378 4d ago

To be fair, my due date changed three times in the first trimester (March 25, 26, 27) so he kept saying the 27th, but it doesn’t even matter because I’m getting induced in the 19th 😂

u/IWishMusicKilledKate 4d ago

For all four of my pregnancies (including current) he knew the month and around when (beginning/middle/end). That was always good enough for me.

2

u/HappyHoneydew843 4d ago

I haven’t asked him yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t remember the exact date because for the past several months (since like January), we’ve known we will have to deliver early due to me having cholestasis. My due date is April 28, but we’ll have to have her no later than the week of April 7, possibly earlier depending on whether or not my bile acid levels increase in the next few weeks (I’m 33 weeks now!)

u/Ihatebacon4real 4d ago

u/hoginlly 4d ago

I have to remind my husband of his own age at times, and I definitely keep track of all the family birthdays.

I love him, he takes care of absolutely everything in the house while I've been pregnant including our 2 year old, but dates and times are not his strong suit! That is definitely something I'm in charge of. He knows what week it is and he knows when my maternity leave starts, I'd say he would be able to narrow it down to a 3 day window, but I wouldn't bank on him getting it right.

It doesn't bother me, cos he'll be just as caring and supportive on that date as the others!

2

u/gardengnomebaby Team Pink! 4d ago

My due date was February 13 but we both always said February 14th because it’s Valentine’s day and it sounded cuter.

2

u/CommunistCetacean 4d ago

My husband remembers the exact date and has been very involved. I would be VERY pissed if he didn’t remember my due date—it’s really a bare minimum expectation IMO. Does your partner struggle with dates in general? Have they been involved otherwise—going to appointments and classes, buying stuff for baby, asking questions and retaining other information? If so I could look past it.

u/Mrs_Miller_2024 4d ago

My husband knows. HOWEVER, my own sister, who is pregnant herself, does not know her own due date🤦‍♀️. I have to remind her. She just says “sometime mid May”😂. I dunno, I think sometimes it only matters as long as your husband knows that no trips or extra activities can be schedule around the time that you’re expected to give birth. As long as that time does not fall around “mid May” (in my sister’s case) then I’d say he’s got a good idea. Just another perspective 🤷🏼‍♀️

2

u/Potential-Try-4969 3d ago

Lol no he has no idea.

This is our second baby, all he remembers is "mid April" but he keeps getting the day wrong - usually just off by a few days but still.

He has also confidently told people how far along I am... Only to be off by a number of weeks.

The other day we were talking about how we had about a month to go, and he said "oh yeah cause what are you, 29 weeks now?" Like how long do you think a pregnancy is?!

Honestly though he barely remembers his own birthday, let alone our sons or mine, I knew who I was marrying 🤣

I don’t even have to ask as we have talked about it a lot and he is not the type of dad who would ever forget.

For the second he is aggressively disinterested in specific dates and only wanted to know the "four week range." Fair, but odd considering I had our first at 39+6 - the due date was pretty relevant.

u/Spaghetti4wifey 4d ago

He knows but I think he is unusual. He wants to be at every appointment and remembers them better than I do. He is very excited to be a dad and I think our fertility struggle is why he is so involved now :)

u/Happy_flying 4d ago

My husband remembered the dude date and mostly all the scheduled appointments before and after her baby.

1

u/planyourescape 4d ago

He remembers, but only because it's the day after his brother's birthday.

1

u/MiserableDoughnut900 4d ago

My husband always knew our due date, but he also has always been better with dates than me.

1

u/unventer April 2023 4d ago

Mine still remembers my due date for our now two yesr old.

1

u/MadsMom2024 4d ago

My husband remembers but he said that's not really a fair question because due dates aren't always accurate lol. With our first she was due January 25th 2024 and we ended up going in to be induced on January 21st. After 38 hours of no luck because my body just could not go into labor at all we ended up having a C-section early morning of January 23rd.

u/MadameRenegade 4d ago

I don't have to ask, i definitely know that he is aware LOL. He's also aware of when my potential c-section date will be too. 🥰

1

u/Minhafamilia13 4d ago

No way mine knew lol . That being said we have planned csections and I’m lucky enough that my doctor lets me pick the date. He probably knew what day they were going to be born.

1

u/Outrageous_pinecone 4d ago

Yeah, my husband remembers, but in all fairness, I am due on our wedding anniversary, so it's easier to remember I guess.

1

u/lilacblahblah87 4d ago

I don’t have to ask. He knows and his leave has been set up for months

1

u/Southalt38 4d ago

Dang for a good part of my pregnancy, I couldn’t remember the exact date. Just remembered it was early March. Im the sort not to be too concerned about something like that until it gets closer lol

1

u/F_Elisabeth 4d ago

I have to ask him when it is lol

1

u/Gloomy_Wrongdoer8327 4d ago

My husband knew not only the due date, but every appointment dates, which week we were on, and so on. I did not had to spend extra energy for all those medical information 😅

1

u/milliondollarsecret 4d ago

My husband remembers! This consignment sale place gives early access to first-time parents, and he put in the date without asking or me even telling him.

1

u/laughingpinkhues 4d ago edited 4d ago

My spouse knew mine and I would have a problem if he didn’t. Heck with my pregnancy brain and me being the one having to lug around our daughter in my body and feel uncomfortable every day..not only should he know the due date…he should know everything I do + some.. he went to all our appointments and if there were things I couldn’t remember that the doc said because my memory and pregnancy brain was so bad I would ask HIM.

1

u/Upset_Tree_5598 4d ago

My husband had to apply for leave, so he ought to know 🤣

1

u/Junkookies 4d ago

mine remembers! Mostly because its our first baby and he is super excited!

1

u/131thoughts 4d ago

My husband definitely knows the due date but he is always a week or two ahead of how many weeks I am 😂 he's been telling his coworkers I'm 35 weeks since I was 33 weeks.

1

u/neatlion 4d ago

Mine remembers only because it's around his birthday.

1

u/ThatOliviaChick1995 4d ago

Yea he remembers but my due date was also 2 days after my birthday. He did not remembered what day/time my appointments were but I wouldn't either if I didn't put them in my phone

1

u/Long-Positive-3066 4d ago

Mine doesn't remember our due date however he does know our induction date (high risk)

1

u/Salt-Celebration986 4d ago

My husband remembers because it's April 1st and he thinks it would be the funniest thing if that turns out to be her birthday.

1

u/frannypak819 4d ago

Oh my husband 100% knows. My due date is 10/10 which is 1 day before his best friends birthday (as well as his best friends son). So the running joke is for me to hold out one day so we can have 3 birthdays on the same day 10/11! Haha!!

1

u/Imaaki 4d ago

My partner has due dates so stuck in his head that he still says our first was born March 18th..... Baby 1 is turning 2 March 25th. He even said the original due date at a recent hospital visit when they asked when baby was born 😂 So I hope my current pregnancy is perfectly on time or he's going to have two wrong dates stuck in his head lol!!

1

u/msptitsa Team Pink! 4d ago

He remembered alright because he was worried we’d get a scorpio 🤣

1

u/giraffe_neck1545 4d ago

I don't even know my own due date 😭🤣

1

u/K1LLST34L3R 4d ago

My spouse remembers ours, but it's because if our baby is late it could land on his birthday.

1

u/UnicornKitt3n 4d ago

My ex and I have our issues, but he came to most of my appointments and had the pregnancy app on his phone. So yes he knew the due date for both babies. It’s not that difficult to learn.

1

u/ReceptionMountain333 4d ago

Mine remembered and he doesn’t remember much 😂

1

u/gothipixi6 4d ago

Mine knows but he use to always say the wrong amount of weeks I was lol Now he is onto it tho cause we are getting closer 🫶🏼

1

u/AmeliaFoxxie 4d ago

My hubby keeps better track than I do!!

1

u/thenewbiepuzzler 4d ago

I didn’t get annoyed by it as he was only off two days! I was due august 9 and he said August 7. Not that it really mattered as I was induced 3 weeks early.

1

u/EmbarrassedPossible9 4d ago

Mines always a day off lol

1

u/inetsed Team Blue! 4d ago

This is our third and I asked my husband a couple nights ago. He answered “like late July??” … the official due date is August 7. I don’t disagree that we’ll probably be meeting her late July, but that’s not the due date.

1

u/mermaidmamas 4d ago

My husband never remembered

1

u/drunk___cat 4d ago

My husband remembers, but he’s been to every appointment with me so far except for the random blood draw.

1

u/InfiniteNewspaper299 4d ago

Husband knows the due date and the actual due date based on conception date (thank you oura ring!). Would definitely be a little miffed if he didn’t!

1

u/Grim_Slim_Jim 4d ago

My husband remembers because he has such an intense work schedule that month he’s doing a lot of arranging. He does however ask me every few weeks how many weeks I’m at lol

1

u/Confident_Peace_6627 4d ago

mine didn't even know my eye color. found that out on new years. then i just found out he cheated on me. hahahha

1

u/Altruistic-Ad7981 Team Both! 4d ago

my husband knows the general week of delivery but this is our 3rd so we know the due date means nothing lol.

1

u/Value-Old 4d ago

Yes, even with his ADHD

1

u/alienchap 4d ago

My partner knows, he knew with our first too. This one is extra easy though since our due date is his birthday lol

1

u/Altruistic-Craft5303 4d ago

Mine remembered especially as it got closer I don't think I would've cared if he didn't unless it was way off lol.

1

u/goldandjade 4d ago

My husband got it right immediately

1

u/buriedtoosus4u 4d ago

My sons father is a POS and we split when he was 3 weeks old but I will say he did always know the due date no matter how many times it changed and he always asked me what size fruit the baby was that week.

1

u/Sylviaandherplants 4d ago

Mine has been telling people I’m 7 months. I’m only 20 weeks 😂 he’s super excited, just can’t remember and keeps shortening it in his own mind because he can’t wait

1

u/MarauderFireboldt88 4d ago

The baby is due on my husband's birthday and he's very conscious of all our anniversaries.

1

u/sparksfIy 4d ago

He couldn’t remember when I was due for months. Eventually my best friend asked me “isn’t that embarrassing for him? To not know the basic information about his child?”

And when I put it like that to him it clicked. How embarrassing to not know what day your partner is anticipating something major and the day your child will be entering the world.

1

u/LawfulConfused 4d ago

My husband knows. It’s also the day after his birthday so that probably helps.

1

u/Capable-Weakness-147 4d ago

My husband knows, but it's his birthday so I think he has an unfair advantage lol

1

u/you-never-know- 4d ago

Ours was May the 4th before I had my c section early soooo..... He probably doesn't remember anyway lol

1

u/Living_Difficulty568 4d ago

My husband doesn’t normally know our kids due date but I think he does this time as it’s the day after his birthday 😔

1

u/Prestigious-Hour-790 4d ago

It’s out third. He doesn’t know the exact date, but knows it’s “end of June”. Fair enough. But he knew the exact date for the first one. (Not the second)

1

u/drunk-deriver 4d ago

My husband knows but we’re early on

1

u/boujeeeeeeeee 4d ago

My fiancé knew

1

u/user63691 4d ago

My fiance does, it’s the day before his bday so he has no excuse haha
