Baby boom result of RWC?

By: Newstalk ZB staff | New Zealand News | Sunday June 10 2012 10:38

 

It's nine months after the Rugby World Cup, and there's been a baby boom.

Waitakere Hospital's maternity unit has been watching the numbers, and last weekend there were double the usual number of births.

Almost 40 babies were born over a three day spell.

Births were also up at Middlemore Hospital.

New mother Libby Jackson says the World Cup celebrations were probably the reason behind the increased numbers.

She says a lot of her friends are also due soon, and they counted back and put it down to the Rugby World Cup.
