Mothers to-be worried about 666

By: Bill McGinty

Yvonne Colon-Stewart, who is nine months pregnant with a boy, didn't give the date a second thought, until a friend brought it up. "I think it's only natural that parents wouldn't want their baby born on the day that's marked for the Devil," said Yvonne.

The remake of the 70's original called "The Omen" is scaring the devil out of expecting mothers to the point that many have canceled their appointments to be induced next Tuesday. Dr Suzanne Roberts, an Ob/Gyn who's delivered thousands of babies, is amazed by all the hype and its effect on mom's to be. “A lot of our patients are requesting that they be induced either before that or they get scheduled for induction after that and they are wanting to know, if they happen to come in, is there anything we can do to prevent them from delivering on June 6," said Dr. Roberts.

Hollywood's big-screen is fiction, but here in the birthing room, it's 100% reality. Nature's reality. "If the baby wants to come on June 6^th, the baby will come on June 6^th," laughed Roberts.

In the end, mothers and doctors agree: the date doesn't make the baby, what matters is that a healthy baby is born to a loving family.
