The simple answer is that it is 1/7. The true answer is somewhat different because births are not uniformly spread across the days of the week. In some countries medical staff prefer to spend their weekends off and so there are fewer births at weekends. Then, there are other minor adjustments for the number of leap years between birth and the thirteenth birthday.

How often does your birthday fall on the same day of the week as when you were born?

The way to look at this probability is that it is equally likely for your birthday to fall on any given day of the week. There is a 1/7 chance it will land on Saturday. There is a 1/7 chance it will land on Sunday, and so on for all the other days.
