How to Win the Baby Pool
Author of "100+ Baby Shower Games" reveals the day of the week the most babies are born and common birth weights to hedge your bet in a baby pool.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 25, 2007
Trying to predict the delivery date of a friend's or relative's baby? The writer of "100+ Baby Shower Games" (ISBN-13: 978-0972835411, $14,) can help: the most popular day of the week for a stork delivery in the U. S. is Tuesday. This, according to the latest data in a National Center for Health Statistics report*, is followed by Wednesday, then Thursday. The least number of births in any given week occurs on Sunday.
Guessing a baby's birth date is a long standing baby shower game, reports author Joan Wai. Baby pool participants might forecast other stats such as the infant's delivery time and weight. The prognosticator whose estimates best match the little one's actual stats is awarded a prize by the pool's host. And by the way, "the majority of babies born in the U. S. weigh between 6.6 and 8.8 pounds, but most are born under 7.7 pounds" Joan divulges.
And if it seems hospital delivery rooms are busiest in July, you're right. July is the month with the most baby births (followed by September and August) and has been for several years in a row. Since baby showers are traditionally hosted a month or two before the baby's due date, Joan concludes most baby shower games are played between May and June. "Of course, babies are born throughout the year" Joan observes, "and any time is a great time to play baby shower games!"
