September Baby Fun Facts
Are you expecting a baby this September?
September is the month with the highest birthrate and therefore my busiest time of the year for newborn shoots!
I thought it was a great time to pull together some September baby fun facts. Feel free to share them with any mums who are due this September:
September Birthstone - The birthstone for September is the sapphire, which symbolises purity and wisdom. Sapphires are also thought to ease pain and reduce stress - perhaps you should take one into the delivery room with you!
September Star Sign - Your baby will either be a Virgo (August 24 - September) or a Libra (September 23 - October 23)
September Birthflower - The birth flowers for September are the Aster and the Morning Glory. Asters are symbols of love and Morning Glories are symbols of affection (both really lovely things!)
September Baby Fun Facts
Studies suggest that September babies excel at school - maybe related to the fact they’re the oldest in their school year.
September babies also excel in sports - again this could be related to the fact they’re the oldest, and therefore the strongest, in their school year.
September babies are statistically more likely to live to be 100 than babies born in other months!
Celebrities with September birthdays include Beyonce, Will Smith, Keanu Reeves and Prince Harry.
