If you're due to give birth this month then your newborn is going to be extra special, according to science anyway.
Research has revealed August is a pretty special month to be giving birth in.
And look, we know that being heavily pregnant in summer can be a bit of a challenge, but on the bright side – you are nearly there, and you still get to enjoy (hopefully) a good few weeks of lovely weather, perfect for strolling with the baby in his buggy, before autumn sets in.
Another great thing? According to science,
babies born in August are really super-special, and here is why:
1. They're gonna be big at birth (and will grow to be taller than their peers)
Statistically speaking, summer-born babies have higher birth weights than kids who come into the world during the other three seasons. Higher birth weights are linked to positive outcomes in both the short and long term. As well as being big at birth, August born babies are also statistically likely to be tall as adult, a fact scientists are putting down to the vitamin D exposure pregnant mamas get.
2. They are happy and positive about life
People with spring and summer birth-dates tend to have a
positive, upbeat attitude, and are often also more inclined to describe themselves as lucky.
3. They are organized and born leaders
August babies are either Leos or Virgos and according to Dr. Athena Perrakis, an astrologist and CEO of crystal company
Sage Goddess, Leos are confident, strong people, physically and mentally — and very strong-willed. They're also very proud and very charismatic. Virgos have just as many appealing personality traits and are very organized, very precise, and detail-oriented.
People born in August are also natural leaders due to their charisma and confidence.
