8. [+10, -0] Apparently this particular hospital has an event where the couple with the first baby of the year born there will be given free check ups and treatments so 20% more mothers will purposely wait as long as possible at the year-end and check in to this hospital. There are 50 hospitalized mothers between December 31st and January 2nd at the hospital right now.
