Why do people not like having their child be born on Xmas?
- mrandish 2y agoIt's that some small percentage of births are intentionally induced for various medical reasons. Sometimes because the baby is full term but labor is not starting on its own yet. Other times an OB will attempt to rotate a full term baby that's in breach position to avoid needing a C-section surgery. Successful or not, this rotation procedure has a chance of triggering labor (which is why they wait until the baby is at or close to full term before trying it). Bottom line: hospitals are short staffed on Xmas so they set scheduled procedures which may induce labor for the day before or the day after whenever possible which preserves their limited capacity on Xmas for unscheduled births and emergencies.
