Popular folklore attaches great meaning or significance to what day of the week a baby is born.
A new report from the National Center for Health Statistics shows that the modern calendrical week may be a bigger factor in the timing of births than expected. Saturday is not much busier, at 82.5. The explanation for this apparent anomaly has nothing to do with nursery rhymes or astrology. The increase in caesarean deliveries, and the increased frequency of induced labors, has shifted the baby delivery schedule somewhat, into alignment with the work week schedule. Either that or there are a lot of storks playing golf.
