"  Don&amp;#039;t want a baby right now? Be extra careful today if you get down with your guy: It&amp;#039;s apparently the most fertile day of the year. Okay, so it&amp;#039;s not some super scientific thing, but it turns out that Sept. 16 is one of the most common birthdays. Babies ideally take 40 weeks to grow, putting conception on\u2014you guessed it\u2014Dec. 11. There might not be some weird cosmic reason why today is the optimal time to make babies, but scientists do agree that sperm is more potent during the colder months (who knew?). Also, all the partying and general craziness that goes on during the month inspires people to have lots and lots of sex. So, should you abstain from sex today? Nah, but take a few extra precautions if you&amp;#039;re planning on some quality time between the sheets.  Want more from Meagan? Follow her on Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
