Why, you say? What sets November apart from all the other 11 months of the calendar year?

Well, when it comes to giving birth, a whole lot, in fact.

According to some of these studies, being born in November is a pretty great thing. Just take a look:

1. November babies do better in sports

According to this study, children born around this time a year perform up to 10 percent better in athletic skill tests than their peers.

3. November kids have a lower risk of developing immune diseases
