They say October has the most birthdays of any month. In fact October 5th is the day with the most births. That is not hard to imagine considering that February is the conception month. When it's dull and grey and there's nothing to do well... babies are conceived.
Its something to think about when writing your characters-whether you set it in February or October.
What else causes a bump in births? Blackouts. Blizzards. War? Can you think of more? Cheers~
How fun fun to learn that fact. I'm an October 4th baby. Hummm, must've been a cold February in 1979!!!
ReplyDeleteOut of my seven siblings, three of them had November babies, so I always figured we had unreasonably nasty Marches in those years.
Linda, how funny- you missed the biggest birthday by one day- lol.
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of July birthdays in my family so Aug/September conception- ha! just as the weather starts to cool off.
Thanks for commenting. Cheers~
