'Course, have they been able to go their ob/gyns?
I agree. The first two weeks of the shutdowns was the time period when women would most likely get pregnant. It was not as stressful— people were getting a little break from commuting and thought we were doing the right thing shutting down a couple weeks to give hospitals a break and that things would go back to normal soon.
Blizzards are not stressful for the vast majority. People get a couple of days off, can stay in bed, etc. The storm ends, clean up begins, and life goes on. Blackouts too are not stressful. People figure the blackout will be solved within 48 hours, the lights will go back on, and life goes on.
For weeks now no one has any idea what the hell is going on. That causes stress. I imagine a stressed body is not ripe for conception.
