Thread Name: BS: Leap babies
Subject: RE: BS: Leap babies
This brings up a subject I've wondered about.
If a woman is due to deliver on 28th/29th Feb, or 1st March, do the hospitals try to encourage 29/Feb birthdays, either by early induction of babies due on 1st March, or delaying births due on 28th Feb,
Or do they try to delay (or induce) the birth so that it doesn't occur on Feb 29th
Or do they let nature take its course?
