That's interesting. I usually associate baby booms with the
aftermath of a war (I've read stats to this effect concerning post-WWII, post-1967 Six-Day War, post-1973 Yom Kippur War, post-2006 Lebanon War, etc.) or natural disasters (e.g., 9 months after 1989 Hurricane Hugo), although I've also seen some claims along these lines disputed (the 1965 New York City and 2003 Northeast US Blackouts).
