The curious baby boom in Island
According to doctor Porvaldsson it was caused by the successes of the National Football Team
March 30th, 2017
Fun fact from Northern Europe! A doctor in Iceland has noted a record amount of babies born in his hospital in March, exactly nine months on from the day their national team beat England 2-1 in Nice at Euro 2016.
Asgeir Petur Porvaldsson, the doctor from Reykjavik's Landspitali University Hospital who spotted the correlation, tweeted (with accompanying winky face):
“Set a record for the number of epidurals in the maternity unit this weekend – nine months after the 2-1 win over England”
Make love & play football.
