monthy birth rate

Just curious what every one's monthly birth rate is at your hospitals? Our average is 300 a month. This month has been really buzy. As of a couple days ago (10 days left in the month) we all ready had 299 births. Just yesterday we had 23 babies in a 24 hour period. this is a lot for us, even for this time of year. Just wondering if others were having more babies than usual.

We just got a pizza party for a record breaking month 374 births.

I knew I wasn't imagining our increase in numbers. That beat our old record by 20 births.

we do 150-180 per month but we do 35% high risk. we are a combo ldr (with nicu mom's staying for their pp period) and antepartum unit. we have 26 beds. right now we have 14 ante's. that number goes up and down as they deliver and go home. one day last month we had 3 ante's, but that was because our nicu was closed for a mrsa outbreak. nice and slow for about 2 weeks!!!

We avg. about 10K births per year where I work. This year we will exceed that by approx. 2,000. I chalk the increase up to 9/11. I have heard that percentages are up nationwide. :)

Hi all!

Our rate is about 800+ a month....about 10,000 a year. I work in a great hospital and patient/nurse ratio is 1:1. Although some may feel it's a baby factory, we feel stronger for our numbers. We do it, and do it well with a high satisfaction rate among our patients. I'm very proud to work there, and proud to have had my children there!

Sorry so long winded:)

We do about 30 a month! The most at any facility that I have worked at is about 60 month. Y'all are busy!

As a new unit, we started out doing 20-30 deliveries/month. Then, in about July, our volume has been sharply increasing. Last month, we joined the "100+ Club" WOW! Since we were staffed for a lower volume (rather than have everyone losing hours all the time)...we've had some growing pains to say the least, as we start massive hiring!

But...we have awesome staff, management, and doctors! So, it makes it easier to cope until more staff is brought in! :cool:

We have about 200-250 a month. We just pulled even with the largest hospital in our town. We only have 18 postpartum beds and 7 labor rooms and 7 LDR's. The floor has been full with patients waiting in the back for rooms every day I've worked for the last 6 months.

When I first went PRN 3 years ago I used to get called off or put on call alot. Now I NEVER get called.

300+ a month here. Definitely saw an increase from 9/11. Used to work in a Naval Hospital and we could tell you exactly when the deployed guys came home. After Desert storm, we got slammed..called it Desert Stork!
