A Texas hospital that normally delivers 16 babies a day shattered its record<\/a> last month with not one, but two baby booms.<\/p>\n

Andrews Women’s Hospital at Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center-Fort Worth first saw an influx of babies on June 24, when 52 babies were born in a span of 47 hours. Then a second wave hit several days later on June 28, when 55 babies were delivered in 44 hours. That makes for a combined total of 107 babies in 91 hours<\/em>, which beat the hospital’s previous record of 48 babies delivered in 41 hours.<\/p>\n

While overall numbers<\/a> show that the nation experienced a baby bust following the COVID-19 pandemic, the trend at Andrew’s Women’s Hospital is consistent with other regional booms<\/a> around the country following the pandemic’s onset. Some people at the hospital directly correlate the rise in births with the pandemic lockdowns.<\/p>\n
