It turns out today is the day you are most likely to discover that you are pregnant
Apparently, today is the day to go buy a pregnancy test.
According to a study, January 17 is the day women are most likely to discover that they’re expecting more than any other time in the year.
This is because January 17 - now known as Discovery Day - falls roughly two weeks after January 2, which is dubbed National Baby-making Day. It also comes after Christmas and New Year’s where celebrations often lead to a little bundle of joy.
ChannelMum.com, who conducted the study, revealed that more than 10,000 women are expected to take pregnancy tests today that reveal those two little pink lines and that 62 per cent of mums-to-be will continue taking multiple at-home tests even after receiving a positive result.
It turns out that today, January 2, is actually National Baby-Making Day
In case you hadn’t heard, today – January 2 – is National Baby-Making Day!
That’s right, for couples looking to conceive, today is apparently the day to get down to business.
In New Zealand, most births actually happen across September and October, making the Christmas and New Year holiday period the most popular time to fall pregnant.
And if you want to get really specific, a study has suggested that a lot of couples hoping to cook up some offspring actually make love at 10.36pm on this most favoured day of conception.
