📊 Birthday Stats

Birth-month trend

March a low-birth season

Being born in March falls in a low-birth season for births.

In the Northern Hemisphere, more conceptions happen in late autumn–winter, so births cluster in summer–early autumn (around September) about nine months later. February has the fewest.

How many share your birthday?

🇺🇸 In the U.S.
