Higher Population Council reports 629 daily births on special dates
Data from the Civil Status and Passport Department show that the number of Jordanian births registered on special dates in 2025 reached 629 daily, exceeding the overall average of 415 births per day. The Higher Population Council points out that some Jordanian families plan their children's birthdates to coincide with meaningful dates, such as the 5th, 15th, and 25th of May, as well as the birthdates and wedding anniversaries of the parents, often through scheduled cesarean sections or selective induction of labor. It emphasized that scheduled deliveries for non-medical reasons on specific dates may pose long-term health risks to both mother and child. The council called for a professional and careful evaluation of any medical decision related to this, prioritizing the safety of the mother and the baby.
