Post-September 11 Baby Boom Expected...

Post-September 11 Baby Boom Expected: "Obstetricians and staffs at some hospital delivery rooms nationwide are gearing up for a summer baby boom that many say was sparked by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Dr. Paul Kastell says that, beginning in mid-June, deliveries in his own Brooklyn practice will increase 20 to 25 percent compared with last summer. Dr. Jacques Moritz at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in Manhattan anticipates a 15 percent increase. And St. Vincent's Hospital, not far from ground zero, is also preparing for a summer boom, though it hasn't attached a percentage to it."
