British scientists have compiled a list of days of the week that are unsafe for childbirth. They made such conclusions based on data on 1.5 million babies born on different dates and days of the week.
According to the researchers, the most dangerous time to give birth is on Mondays and weekends.
Experts are convinced that the days of the week affect the course of the labor process, the pain of pregnant women and the psychological mood of the medical staff. It is these factors, not just the skill level of obstetricians and doctors, that can play a role in childbirth.
This is due to the fact that on Mondays, paramedics are not in the mood to work as they should. On this day, they are not inclined to make responsible decisions, since after the weekend most of them are in a relaxed state.
It's also unsafe to give birth on weekends, and it's understandable why: there are fewer skilled workers at the maternity hospital on such days. In addition, scientists believe that the risk of infection is increased on the weekend.
