Signs point to a post-pandemic baby boom in Wichita Michael Stavola, The Wichita Eagle
May 9 Kansas health officials are starting to see a baby boom.
Concerns surrounding the pandemic likely led to a 2020 lull in pregnancies, especially at the end of the year when babies conceived at the start of the pandemic would have started to be born, the officials said.
But business is back and booming.
April set a record for early ultrasounds at The University of Kansas Health System, which typically delivers around 3,000 babies a year.
At Ascension Via Christi Wichita, the number of births last month was higher than any April since at least 2018. And, so far this year, the number of appointments for expecting mothers points to a busy 2021.
