    Half came out before 12 midnight?

    :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,852 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red







    Ooookay, 60ish thousand babies a year I think, but no elective caesarians or inducements scheduled for Dec 25th I assume... sigh.

    Don’t like 60k take the LC every year? But then there’d be inductions won’t happen etc



    So theres 60,000 odd births a year, are half of them c-sections? I should know this given I've just had a kid



    I have done a bit of research into this in the past, although can't remember exact numbers. I'd estimate around 55,000 births in 2019 which would give an average of about 150 a day. I know some days are way more popular to give birth on though, and I'd say Christmas is one of the least likely days. I doubt many planned Caesareans are scheduled for Christmas day for example (although these probably make up less a small enough percentage of total births).



    A lot of us with exactly the same thinking


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,218 ✭✭✭khalessi


    I just remember a 1000+ born in the same month when one of the kids born

    and

    I dont want to surprise people but I dont think I will win somehow

    I've noticed a lot of "that went terribly" messages from people who did OK :p

    Well it did if you are trying to get back up the board and slowly am heading downwards. I have enough wooden spoons


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,857 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    Can't believe we're on day 16 already. This is insane. I haven't a clue at all about babies. I wouldn't even know how many are born in a year because who would know that ****? So I'm guessing. As usual. Had a chat with hubs and he's ****ting all over my thought process. So we're pushing the number up.... Which I think is insanely high. And I'll be beating him if it's wrong. :D

    Player | Guess | Score
    Mollyb60 | 400 | -7.5

    My original guess of 25 would've got me 5.6 points. You better believe that's a paddling.

    Yay, back in the triple digits, now to try and stay there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,721 ✭✭✭Declan A Walsh


    I am only (48.2) 48.8 points behind the leader. Now, if I get 10 points every day from now on and everyone in the Top 10 gets a few negative scores, I am definitely in contention! Edit: or maybe the Top 20! :D

    Do people still call their boys Mary? I knew a whole family of about 7 all with the middle name of Mary.
