Maternity hospitals around the city have been busier than usual over the past few months as many young women try to have babies next year, an especially auspicious time according to the Chinese lunar calender, Shanghai Daily reported. 

"I found there are many pregnant women this year," said local resident Jiang Yan. "I know friends, co-workers and other people working in my office building are going to have kids."
