Valentine's Day Babies (2024)

FAQs

What are Valentines Day babies? ›

If your baby was actually conceived on Valentines Day, than your due date would be 11/7 (a lucky number). Of course those wily sperm can live a few extra days, so conception could occur as late as February 19th and an ultrasound might give you a due date as late as November 12.

This equates to typical gestation periods between 238 to 300 days, highly concentrated around the middle of that range. Which is to say, children born between Oct. 10 and Dec. 11 might have been conceived on Valentine's Day, with Peak Valentine Conception falling in mid-November.

14, Valentine's Day is marked by shades of pink, flowers, chocolates, romantic movies and wine — and images of a magical baby boy who flies around shooting arrows at people. But despite his infant form, that baby, widely known these days as Cupid, began his mythological life as a man who had more power than any god.
