Nepal's maternity hospitals are bracing for their busiest time of year – the annual baby boom. Doctors attribute this surge in births to a combination of factors, primarily winter weddings and the return of migrant workers. Many couples choose to marry during the winter months, leading to a predictable increase in pregnancies. Simultaneously, a significant number of Nepali migrant workers return home during festival seasons. This homecoming often coincides with family planning, contributing to the rise in deliveries approximately nine months later. The healthcare system prepares for the influx, ensuring adequate staffing and resources to manage the increased demand. This annual pattern presents both a challenge and a testament to Nepal’s cultural and economic dynamics.
