Hey Everyone! Was wondering if you could help me out. I'm hosting a baby shower & I am trying to put together a little baby statistics test & thought you guys might know the answer to some of these things:
1. month most babies are born
2. month least babies are born
3. average birth weight
4. average age of a first time mom
5. percentage that are born on their due date
6. day of week most babies are born
7. day of week least babies are born
8. are more babies born during a full moon or rainstorm (old wive's tale?)
Hi krazy! My daughter was born right on her due date. Most sources I've checked say that 5% of babies are born on their actual due date.
Also, according to www.happybirthday.com and www.babycenter.com, TUESDAY is the day most babies are born and SUNDAY has the least. The CDC says that the average age for first time moms in the US is 25 years.
Hope that helps!
