This Bank Holiday Monday could be the day that traces back to the conception of many 2017 babies.

Did you know that January 2nd is referred to as National Baby-Making Day? The highest number of birthdays fall in September, more specifically September 26th, which is 38 weeks after today. The average pregnancy is 38 weeks, meaning that September babies are made during the Christmas period.
