Are women trying to avoid 6/06/2006?
Filed under: Your Pregnancy
I recently wrote a post on how a woman was scared that her baby, whose due date is June 6, was the Anti-Christ. Personally, I thought it was a little funny that someone could be so worried about these issues, but I guess I'm a minority.According to this article, some women who had scheduled c-sections for June 6 have changed their dates. It turns out they don't want their babies to be born with the 6/06/2006 birthday.
The very pregnant Loobylu wrote about this on her site (on the very story I mentioned earlier) that although she doesn't worry about having a baby on said date, she could see the woman's concerns. Ahh, hormones. What a wonderful thing they are! (Come on, you know more than one of you were sure that your baby would "hate" you.)
Either way, good luck to both the lady in the first article and Loobylu with their impending births!

Jane said...Not that you can control when you go into labor, but if you do actually have your child on 6/6/06, chances of him being the anti-christ are nill if you believe in Jesus Christ!

ann adams said...I thought it was an isolated instance when I read the first post but our local t.v. news ran with a similar story that night.
I've read one blog that conclusively "proved" that the Anti-Christ is alive and walking among us. If that's true, these women have nothing to worry about.

michele said...I turn 40 this Friday (the 9th), so I was just a few days away from being a 6.6.66 baby. I would often ask my mom why she didn't schedule the induction a few days earlier. (We lived on an Indian rez, closest hospital was miles away.)
My son was born on Nov. 13th, which happened to be my due date. A lot of people would say "Well, I hope he comes on the 12th or 14th... that's an unlucky birthday." Once he was born, we immediately calculated when his first Friday the 13th birthday would be. He'll be 5.

LS said...My son was born on September 11, 2003. The two year, almost to the minute, of the attacks. So many people look at him or me with sympathy when they hear this and say, "wow, what a burden to carry". I return with, "No, it's a celebration of life." A date is just a number on the calendar. You make it what it is. We choose life and happiness.

Missy said...Is this why there's no more than 60 minutes or seconds on our clocks (so that we don't get the dreaded 6:66)?

Tyche said...I had a scheduled C-section, and purposely scheduled it for September 10, 2004 in order to avoid a 9/11 birthday; my due date was 9/16. My roommate in the maternity ward had her baby the day after I did, and I could hear her crying on the phone to all her friends that his birthday was on September 11. I couldn't care less about a 6/6/06 birthday, though.

Gia said...I was scheduled to be induced on 9/11/01 but it was postponed after the attacks. He was born a week later.
Myself and a group of other 9/01 moms have formed a great friendship over the internet and still talk almost 5 years later!! Sure the birth of our children are always going to be associated with 9/11...but keep in mind no matter if your baby is born on 6/6/06, 9/11/01 it will be one of the happiest days of your life....and that and a healthy baby is all that matters!

Ethel said...My due date is this entire month. Okay, not really - the 23rd, but they would like me to have this baby sooner then later as he is term now and 8lbs+ and we are trying for a VBAC... But I don't want him born on Tuesday, not that I think it makes any difference, I just don't want it to be an issue with his peers when he is older. I don't want it to be a hot button with his older brother either.

Belinda said...Good grief, it is JUST a number! What are you going to do next, contact the phone manufactures because to spell MOM on a telephone you have to dial 666! IT HAS NO MEANING!!!!!!!!!

Ben said...I don't remember too many people talking about it on 06/06/96 or 86 etc etc... I mean if they want to get technical and say well its 2006 so 06 is the same as 6 well then technically wouldn't 1906 have been the year the antichrist was born? I think its funny and more media attention for the stupid omen movie personally and really if you beleived in relegion enough to worry about this date you can probably take some comfort knowing that back then they didn't use the same calendar we do so today wouldn't be the day they were thinking of when the wrote of 666 being bad..... funny stuff either way.

Carol said...Melissa Forman had her baby at 12:47 am - (Melissa is on the early morning radio show at the Lite WLIT FM) She named the baby Briar Rose. They did have fun on the show yesterday when she was heading to the hospital to have labor induced. Surprise!! little Briar Rose decided to wait just a bit longer. :)

Jenna said...I think it is rediculous to be afraid of number. It's true what many of us have said, If you believe in God then it wouldn't matter either way if your baby was born on 6/6/6. But, if this whole anti-christ coming is really suppost to occur, don't you think it would be like the return of christ, where NO ONE would actually know the exact date it is suppost to happen! No one is suppost to know who the anti-christ is for his/her own protection. I named my children Damien, Alexander, and Delia after the original Omen and Omen 4 movies! They are wonderful kids who get straight A's in school! There is no such thing as bad luck in a number or letter.
