The most common birth month is August. The ratio to the least common is 1.14:1. Make of that what you will.

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 85 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Okay so let me think out loud

August is month 8

It takes 9 months for babby to formed

Okay so 9 months prior to August is...

Wait fuck does that include the first month

No wait yeah

So human mating season peaks in December

Makes sense.

In the north, it's too cold to go outside and play ball sport, might as well impregnate partner.

In the south, it's too hot to go outside and play ball sport, might as well impregnate partner.

So the solution to the declining birth rate is to criminalize ball sport

I will take my findings to the UN

TL;DR: it's actually November.

Okay so 9 months prior to August is...

You can simply subtract 9 or add 3 to the month number. If you want to verify, break out your hands and get counting months. Start with no fingers raised for November, then raise a finger every month you count, and see where you get to when you have 9.

Wait fuck does that include the first month

A duration is going to include the starting and ending months. Do a very simple example: January (1) to February (2) is one month (2 - 1 = 1).

If you feel silly for messing this up, don't. Off by one errors are incredibly common. I always count them out just to double check em myself.

Trying out NixOS at the moment. (:

But doesn't the 9 months of pregnancy technically start on the first day since a woman's last period? That's what makes anti-abortion laws even more absurd, because you can be 8 weeks pregnant if you only had sex 5 weeks ago.

Damnit Jim, I'm a computer scientist, not a biologist!

I thought it was 9 months from the first missed period

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Lol had to look this up because it's complicated.

https://flo.health/pregnancy/pregnancy-health/fetal-development/how-long-is-pregnancy

“Ovulation [when an egg is released from your ovaries ready for fertilization] typically takes place around two weeks after the first day of your last period, and this is when a baby would be conceived. But because you won’t know that you’re pregnant until you’ve missed your next period, approximately two weeks later, you’ll already be four weeks pregnant when you get your positive test result. At that point, you’ll have approximately 36 more weeks to go,” Dr. Celestine says.

So pregnancies typically last 10 months, but we say 9 months since you don't even know you're pregnant until you're 4 weeks pregnant. But anti-abortion laws still count that 4 weeks.

December is peak holiday season. When people relax, and have time on their hands ...

UK plays and watches a lot of ball sport in December.

I'm sure 9 months also includes November. November is when cold and dark starts. Cold and dark means people seek to get warm. Impregnate partner is warming.

Also, I imagine there's another birth peak in November due to Valentines babies.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

There's a big peak around Christmas due to Easter, which sucks, because while there's a peak, fewer midwives are available because they too have more time off around christmas.

Don't get pregnant during easter!

Yes, some girls don't want to not have a boyfriend over the holidays due to social pressure. Not sure if that is still a thing, but it definitely was when I was young.
