Is Your Birthday Common or Rare? Here Are the Most Common Dates to Be Born
Have you noticed your friend or family member's birthdays? When is the time of the year when most celebrate their birthdays? A new report revealed the most common dates when people are born.
The Most Common Month for Birthdays
According to a heat map posted online, more people are born in September and July, while November, December, and January have the fewest birthdays, Daily Mail reported.
The three days that are closest to nine months after the holiday season, September 12, 18, and 25, were discovered to be the most frequent days for births.
It is generally accepted that the high number of September birthdays resulted from the preceding winter's extreme cold, which encouraged more people to stay home.
A report from Men's Health also claimed that the winter season could be the best time to get laid. Marisa Cohen, Ph.D., an associate professor of psychology at St. Francis College in Brooklyn and author of "From First Kiss to Forever: A Scientific Approach to Love," said that people seek warmth when cold, which may lead to the desire to be intimate with another person. The phenomenon is reportedly called the cuffing season or the desire to be in a relationship during the cold months.
In this dataset, September 9 is the most frequent date, followed by September 19. Theoretically, many of these infants would have been born between December 17 and December 27 after a typical gestation period.
The map also reveals that the least likely days for births are on public holidays like Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and the Fourth of July.
With the exception of emergencies, the majority of public hospitals in America do not schedule C-sections on holidays, whereas fewer private hospitals will do so.
It has long been believed that some medical professionals could purposefully induce a pregnancy to have the baby on a more convenient day.
Every month's 13th also had a death of birthdays. Superstition may be at blame in this situation.
Christmas and New Year's Day are two of the least likely days to give birth, which is maybe not surprising. But late November and July 4 are two that might surprise some folks.
Best Time, Months To Conceive
According to a study, couples seeking a child should engage in sexual activity on spring mornings before 7:30 am if they want to get pregnant.
Sperm, according to researchers at the University Hospital Zurich, have a 24-hour internal clock that is most active in the morning. The sperm is at its healthiest form for fertilizing an egg during March, April, and May, according to Swiss experts.
Semen samples from 7,068 male patients between the ages of 25 and 40 were examined by experts. Sperm concentration, total sperm count, progressive motility, and normal morphology were cross-checked in the samples.
Male semen quality varies with both circadian and circannual rhythms, according to lead investigator Dr. Brigitte Leeners. It is possible to increase natural fertility by collecting semen in the early morning when the quality of the semen is at its best.
However, she added that the research might also be utilized to improve the success rates of IVF treatments. Most semen taken in the spring months of March, April, and May have the most concentration of sperm. In the summer, there were noticeable drops in the sperm count.
The maximum concentration levels and normal morphology were present in samples obtained before 7:30 am.
