So if you’re little one’s celebrating a birthday today, it’s likely they were conceived over the Christmas period. And if it’s your birthday, you know exactly what your parents were getting up to on Boxing Day.
It was also revealed that September as a whole is the most popular month to give birth in, proving that many of us really do get carried away with the Christmas festivities. In contrast, the 25 and 26 December are the two days when the least babies are born in the UK, as many parents try to avoid holiday dates for inductions and C sections.
