Are you due this month and worried about having a holiday baby? Fear not! Read below to find out some of the good reasons for your baby to be born on a major holiday. And if you're still worried about your baby's birth date, take a deep breath and keep in mind what's most important: the health of you and your baby. Take extra care in avoiding induction during the holiday season. It's not uncommon for moms and care providers to reconsider induction this time of year, even though it may not be medically necessary.

2. Your baby's birthday will be super-easy to remember!
