September 23rd or the day when the most babies are born in the year!
Wave of births on this 23rd of September! Maternity hospitals are often overwhelmed on this very special day. Indeed, a birth peak is recorded each year. On this day, there are almost twice as many babies who come into the world than the others of the year. Why is this date so conducive to deliveries ? However, giving birth three weeks after the start of the school year has disadvantages: the mother-to-be has had to undergo the summer heat during the last months of pregnancy especially.
The explanation actually comes from the source: the date of conception of these children. The average duration of a pregnancy is 265 days. With a simple calculation, we realize that they have been designed ... a 1st January ! Or more widely during the holiday season, between Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Feasting and helping alcohol, couples would let themselves go more to unprotected carnal relationships. Moreover, there is also an increase in voluntary interruptions of pregnancy in the months of January and February, which would also correspond to the errors of New Year's Eve.
For a very long time, however, the peak of birth fell in April and May, a design at the end of the summer. Today is the month of September. Some researchers believe that couples wanting to start a family take more time today to achieve fertilization after a decision often made in the summer, after peaks of marriage. What's more, couples are often gathered during the holiday season. This phenomenon is also found in many other countries.
