Do winter babies arrive later?

There's a rumor that winter babies go a little later than summer babies. In the table below, the "2/3 Range" means that 2/3 of all babies born during this month were between those days. 280 days exactly 40 weeks.

The page shows only babies born in the United States, and excludes all inductions.
