Major
hospitals in the Atlanta area are seeing an uptick in births, nine
months after a major ice and snowstorm effectively shut down the Georgia
city. Doctors at Emory University Hospital Midtown, Northside Hospital
and Piedmont Hospital all said early October births are up from the same
time last year. University of Georgia demographer Doug Bachtel said the
snowstorm, which shut down public transportation and left many without
electricity for days, was likely the catalyst. Doctors at Emory Midtown
said 41 babies were delivered from October 2nd to October 5th, up from
32 babies delivered during the same time period in 2010.
