Did you know that Tuesday is historically the most common day for babies to be born, while Saturday tends to be the least active day for deliveries? This pattern is likely influenced by medical scheduling practices, as many doctors do not schedule C-sections on weekends.

It is also noteworthy that approximately 3% of all pregnancies result in twins, a figure that has seen a significant increase of nearly 60% since the early 1980s. Conversely, among women over 45, the likelihood of giving birth to twins rises substantially, with about 17% of pregnancies resulting in twin births.
