Calendar dates could get stressful when it comes to birthing.
My daughter complained - she was on deck the whole day and night of 20 February 2020. All mothers were pushing their babies out. If they can't, the table has got to be busy.
'It was a toxic duty, Ma,' she quipped, 'my feet are sore.'
Couldn't do much about that. Dates are important, especially when twos and zeroes could mean wealth and fortune.
I don't believe in that though.
And then came 29 February 2020, a glorious day for my daughter, as she was on duty. Nobody wants to give birth. Ha ha ha. The mothers are doing their best not to have contractions. What a leap to that soft, comforting bed!
It's a leap year which means there's an extra day in the calendar - 29 February 2020. But why do we need it? The answer is a little more complicated than you...

Oh I think there is a stigma that is attached to being borne on the 29th of February. Since their babies will only see their exact birthday every 4 years. Although I see no problem with that except that when Feb 28 or Mar 1 you will celebrate your birthday. For the Feb 20, 2020 seems it will only happen once in a very long time before this repeats again that is why many parents wants to have their babies born that day.

That is exactly the contention of the mothers. You know these things well.

So there weren't many births on the 29th?
