The older generation left a lot of sayings about children, such as:
"The blessed are in June and August, and the unblessed are in the moon"
"It's rare for a boy to be at noon, and it's rare for a daughter to be in the middle of the night"
Many people don't think so, they always think it's superstition. But in terms of the social background of the time, there was some truth to it.
For example, "it is rare for a boy to be in the middle of the day, and it is rare for a daughter to be in the middle of the night".
The meaning of this sentence is: it is better for a boy to be born at noon; It is better for girls to be born when they are young.
PS: Noon is 11 noon ~ 1 p.m.; It is 11 p.m. ~ 1 a.m.
At noon, the yang energy is the most vigorous, and the boy born at noon will be like the sun, more resolute and more manly; When the child is the heaviest, the yin qi is the heaviest, and the girl is born in the child, she will be as gentle and intelligent as the moonlight.
Therefore, in ancient times, there was a saying that "a son is expensive when he is born, and a woman is blessed when he is born".
However, these are the good wishes and expectations of the elders for their children, and they should not be taken seriously!

From a biological point of view, there is no essential difference between children born during the day and at night.
The timing of the child's birth depends mainly on the development of the fetus and the physical condition of the mother.
Whether born during the day or at night, the child's health, character and intellectual development will not be affected.
But there's also a security issue.
As we all know, giving birth to a child has certain risks, take Mother D herself, everything went well during pregnancy, and prenatal check-ups were normal, but she suffered dystocia during childbirth.
So, which is more risky, a child born during the day or at night?
A gynecological hospital in the United States has followed up and investigated 429 mothers, and recorded in detail the time of admission, delivery, discharge, labor process, and the condition of the mother and baby, and finally found that:
Women who give birth at night have an average of nearly 40 minutes longer than those who give birth during the day.
During labor, any prolongation of labor can increase the pain and risk for the mother.
Prolonged labor not only increases the risk of serious complications such as postpartum infection, postpartum hemorrhage, and uterine rupture, but may also lead to fetal hypoxia and even death.
Therefore, it can be seen that the risk of giving birth at night is much higher than that of giving birth during the day.

There are several obvious differences between having children during the day and children at night, which are not superstitions and have a certain scientific truth.
Giving birth during the day may have some potential advantages for both the mother and the baby, such as:
1. Sufficient personnel: During the working hours of the hospital during the day, there are usually more sufficient medical personnel available for deployment, and any emergency can be dealt with by professionals more quickly.
2. Well-equipped: During the working hours of the hospital during the day, all kinds of medical equipment and facilities are in normal operation, whether it is the use of specific medical equipment or the operating room, it will be more convenient.
3. Easy to take care of: During the day, it is easier for family members to arrange time to accompany the mother and baby, give better emotional support to the mother, and help them recover quickly. If you encounter problems, you can also better learn from medical staff/people who have come over.
4. Careful examination: During the daytime delivery, the mother is more awake, can better observe her body reaction, cooperate with the doctor's examination, and consult the medical staff in time.
There is no harm in having a baby at night, but there are some additional challenges and disadvantages compared to having a baby during the day, such as:
1. Availability of medical staff: There may be fewer healthcare workers at night than during the day, which may lead to slower access to medical assistance in emergency situations.
2. Availability of medical facilities: Some specific medical equipment or operating rooms may be closed or used by other patients at night.
3. Fewer family members: Some parents may not be able to attend the delivery at night, especially some experienced elders, who are older and cannot stay up late for a long time.
4. Emotional support: There are few people around at night, and it is relatively quiet, and the mother may feel lonely and uneasy. Especially after giving birth, the mother has not yet adapted to the change of role, and it is easy to be depressed.
5. Follow-up care: After delivery in the evening, some examinations, consultations and nursing may not be completed in time and need to wait until the next day. Moreover, the mother is generally tired and cannot observe her physical condition well, so she cannot respond to the medical staff in time.
In addition, there are problems such as eating, sleeping, and bathing the child, which may be a little worse than during the day.
PS: For many friends, in fact, as long as the mother and baby are healthy, it is enough, and all difficulties and deficiencies can be overcome.

Can you believe it?
The rate of spontaneous births at night is higher than during the day.
According to statistics from a hospital, about 70% of nearly 500 children are born naturally. Nearly 70% of spontaneous babies are born in the evening or evening.
For this statistical result, some say that it is a natural selection for human evolution; Some people say that it may be related to the following factors:
1. Circadian rhythm
The body's biological clock may affect the timing of labor.
At night, the body's circadian rhythm may cause the uterus to contract more regularly and with the right intensity, which can help with a smooth delivery.
2. There is relatively little medical intervention
Evening deliveries may mean that there may be fewer medical interventions, such as cesarean sections, because some medical personnel may not be present or have fewer numbers.
This can lead to more spontaneous births, which increases the chances of a spontaneous birth.
Ps: This is the case of Mother D, who encountered dystocia during delivery at night, and wanted to have a cesarean section but couldn't do it, so she finally used forceps to clamp the child out.
3. Socio-economic factors
Late delivery may be related to the socioeconomic status of the mother. For example, women with higher education levels and better economic conditions may choose to have a cesarean section in advance, which is usually done during the day and weekdays.
4. Coincidence
The timing of delivery is affected by a variety of factors, such as fetal development, maternal condition, ...... Late labor may be a fortuitous event rather than a general trend.
It is important to note that the safety of the mother and baby is the most important thing, both day and night.
Pregnant women must do a good job of prenatal examination, and family members must also do a good job of service and care, cooperate with medical staff, and escort the health of mothers and babies.
