Pregcellent: I Know When You'll Give Birth

Okay, maybe I don't know exactly. And your due dates might indicate I'm full of it. But it turns out, there are trends and statistical significance and stuff that make it a whole lot easier to bet on birth day/date outcomes.

For example, the most common day of the week for giving birth is Tuesday. Who knew? The least common day is Sunday. (My kids were Monday and Sunday -- we're so alternative.)

The day of the year with most births, according to this, is the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and the Tuesday before New Years. The day of the year with fewest births is May 22. (What's wrong with May 22?)

These days summer months have the most births -- August, then September and July.

Do you fit the pattern?
