Im curious if the obvious holiday driven low frequency dates are driven by mothers or hospitals?

I would like to see this compared to other countries. Looks like there is a bump in conception in the last few months of the year.
Compared to southern hemisphere… is the birth rate bump based on seasons?
Compared to other countries with different holidays… is the birth rate bump based on end of year holidays?
Compared to warmer/colder climates… is the birth rate bump based on people staying inside due to cold weather?

Gotta get the baby born before the end of the year so you can claim the child tax credit for that whole year!

I’m surprised at the random dips on certain holidays. Can women….say not today to giving birth?

Sadly, this data is heavily skewed by Caesarian and induced births. There’s a reason very few are born ON or around Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year and July 4th.

Looks like a lot of people are conceived around Christmas.

So birth rate is higher from June to September. Mean people fuck a lot more from October to December.

I’ve got the third least-common birthday while my poor mom has the least common birthday, and they’re a day after each other. Had no idea there were that many fewer New Year’s babies to Christmas Eve babies.

Yall have nothing to do in the winter huh?

It makes total sense that Christmas and July 4th are the lowest, nobody wants to schedule procedures on a major holiday. Seems logical.

Don’t forget the huge dip in scheduled c-sections for 9/11 even though that’s a common time of year for births! I think that’s what that one pale red line is for September.

my birthday is in the bottom 10 days for popularity. I’m 35 and (to my knowledge) I have never in my life met another person with my birthday. I’ve had people tell me they know someone with my birthday, but I’ve yet to meet them lol

Interesting how the graph of conceptions would be just about the reverse of this. I guess folks get in the holiday mood, and…
Kaister0000 on
So does this graph indirectly show the US’s most popular holidays?
Christmas > New Year’s > July 4th > Thanks Giving > Halloween

I was projected to be a July 4th baby but I was a week late and my mom had a 42 hour labor (she never let me forget that number)

If you have kids in elementary school, you’re at a class birthday party seemingly every weekend in September and early October.

Can someone explain Valentines Day?
Are woman really scheduling inducing labor/c-sections on Valentines Day?

My birthday falls during thanksgiving week most years and most of the people who I’ve met over the course of my life were born on Tuesday or Wednesday (I was born on Wednesday). I’ve also met a fair number of people born the second week in November, which the graph also demonstrates. I’ve always assumed that was because people scheduled deliveries the week before so it didn’t interfere with the holiday. Also interesting that roughly nine months after the November-January holiday season marks the largest number of births.

Makes me wonder if a lot of women are giving their partner something special for Christmas.
TobysGrundlee on
Man, people really be fucking in December.
rawbface on
This is crazy to me because I know three people whose birthday is July 4th.
Is there no September 11th dip?

My dad was an outside blue collar worker. People like him could not work when it was frozen so that’s when they would be home bothering our moms. I was born late September my brother early October

Can we get a chart for conception dates now 😂👍
FoggyGoodwin on
My siblings and I were all born naturally close to a US holiday; mine is furthest at more than a week.

Its kind of wild that Christmas is such a low day for births when you consider how many people must *not* want to schedule something then.

… How often is delivery „scheduled“ through surgical delivery or induced labor?
