And I thought hurricanes were a bad thing...
Hurricane baby boom
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Doctors in Florida say they think they know what's behind a small baby boom that's about to hit the state.
They're crediting the hurricanes that hit Florida last summer to the higher number of expecting moms and dads.
One health official says there are more than twice the number of parents-to-be in her birthing class. And another says she has 51 expectant mothers due this month and 43 more due in June, up from an average of about 30 per month.
One set of parents admits that the numbers are no coincidence. The couple says it, too, was stuck at home with no electricity and ended up getting pregnant.
