New York City Hospital in Brooklyn. No one knows what’s caused this boom, maybe it’s the weather or maybe it is just the closest hospital. It might even be the fact that two local hospitals had to close its doors.

Hospital spokeswoman Eileen Tynion says that veteran staff often swap stories about spikes in baby births, but couldn’t recall such a tyke-storm as the one that began on Tuesday. She says once or twice a year about 65 babies are born over 48 hours.

The usual tempo for the hospital is about 20 bundles of joy a day.

The hospital is use to having 20 babies being born a day but never 74 in two days. They even had to open up the east wing after one was filled to capacity (60 beds).
