The Gift Exchange

I was reading an article the other day about how most babies are born in the fall. I decided to check into it and it seems to be true. From 1990 to 2002, August and July were when the most babies were born every year. July only made the list 4 out of the 12 year study. This is just for the United States though, Europe has different trends. They tend to have a higher birth rate in the spring. As far as the high birth rate months go, no one is sure why. Weekdays are busier for births than weekends. They know why this is; it’s because there are so many c-sections vs. natural births these days. What doctor schedules a c-section on a weekend?
