LOUISVILLE, Ky. — 32 babies were born at Louisville's Norton Women's and Children's Hospital on Monday, marking a mini baby boom for the facility. Babies being born now were conceived around April 2020, so the question must be asked: is this a quarantine baby boom?

Pamela D. Missi, vice president and chief nursing officer of Norton's, said the hospital usually sees about 15 babies per day in January.

"January is usually a fairly slow month and we don’t expect it to be higher than average overall. It was an unusually busy day," Missi said.

Monday's batch of newborns included four sets of twins — two sets of girls and two sets of a boy and a girl.

Last year, 6,066 babies were born at Norton Women's and Children's Hospital, the highest since 2008.
