This seemed like the most appropriate place to put this. It's a "women's issues" kind of article that some of you may enjoy. Really interesting article on births from the U.S. Hope you find it as fascinating as I did...

The No. 1 Month for Baby Births

quote:
Fun facts to know and tell about baby births, courtesy of the U.S. Census Bureau:

* Tuesday is the most popular day of the week for babies to be born, and Sunday is the least popular day.

* 68 percent of women in Mississippi ages 15 to 44 are mothers. The national average is 56 percent, making Mississippi the No. 1 state for the number of moms.

* Nationwide, 82 percent of women 40 to 44 years old are mothers, compared to 90 percent of women in that same age group in 1976 who were mothers.
