What is the most common day of the week to be born?

Tuesday, with about 11,628 births in the United States on an average Tuesday. Sunday has the fewest, about 7,838: a weekend day brings 27% fewer babies than a weekday.

Why are fewer babies born on weekends?

Because so many births are scheduled. Inductions and planned caesareans are booked on working days, and a holiday behaves like a Sunday whatever day it falls on.

How far back does it go?

The weekday works for any date from 1600 to 2100 in the Gregorian calendar. Britain and its American colonies adopted it only in 1752, so dates written there before then ran ten or eleven days behind. Daily US birth counts run from 1969 to 2024.
