BIRTH MONTH EFFECTS JANUARY: PEOPLE BORN THIS MONTH ARE STATISTICALLY MORE LIKELY TO HAVE ALZHEIMERS, CROHNS

DISEASE AND EPILEPSY.

Scientists have theorized this is because theyre exposed to less sunlight in the womb and in the first months of their life. This could hinder development on some level and make them more susceptible to the diseases, according to the UK Office Of National Statistics. Celebrity birthday: Kate Middleton

FEBRUARY: THESE BABIES ARE LIKELY TO GROW UP TO BE ARTISTS.

They are also more prone the sleep disorder narcolepsy. This is because babies born this month prefer the evening hours as a result of lack of exposure to sunlight in utero and in their first months. A 9 to 5 job might not be for them. Celebrity birthday: Ashton Kutcher

MARCH: PEOPLE BORN THIS MONTH ARE MORE LIKELY TO GET ASTHMA.
Scientists believe this is because the mothers are deprived of vitamin D, which is activated by sunlight, in the womb, hindering respiratory development. Lack of vitamin D could also hurt brain development and these children arent as likely to do well in school. Theyre more likely to pursue an unconventional career, such as an artist. Celebrity birthday: Lady Gaga

APRIL: BABIES BORN THIS MONTH ARE MOST LIKELY TO BECOME ALCOHOLICS.
AGAIN, LACK OF SUNLIGHT IN THE WOMB IS BLAMED, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE IN NORTHERN HEMISPHERES, ACCORDING TO GEORGE EBERS, EXPERT OF SEASONS AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY. IF THE MOTHER DOESNT GET ENOUGH VITAMIN D, MANY OF THE BABYS

GENES ARENT REGULATED IN THE WOMB, HE SAID. IN ADDITION TO ALCOHOLISM, THEYRE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF AUTISM, DEPRESSION AND SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER. CELEBRITY BIRTHDAY: HUGH HEFNER

MAY: PEOPLE BORN THIS MONTH ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DIABETES AND GLAUCOMA.
SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THIS HAS TO DO WITH SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE DURING PREGNANCY. BEING DEPRIVED OF SUNLIGHT DURING CERTAIN MONTHS INTERFERES WITH DIFFERENT STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE WOMB, SAID RUSSELL FOSTER, A SCIENTIST AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY. THEY ALSO HAVE CONSISTENTLY LOWER IQS FOR THIS REASON, HE SAID.

CELEBRITY BIRTHDAY: CHRISTINA HENDRICKS

JUNE: JUNE HAS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS AND CEOS.
June babies finally catch a break because they receive more exposure to sunlight in utero and after birth, Ebers said. But because they werent exposed to sunlight in the early months of development, they are more likely to suffer from vision problems, a study of 300,000 Israeli soldiers found. Celebrity birthday: Anderson Cooper

JULY: BABIES BORN THIS MONTH HAVE A MORE OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK THAN THOSE BORN IN COLDER MONTHS.
Theyre also, like June babies, more likely to be short-sighted and need glasses because they didnt receive proper exposure to sunlight in the womb. But because they are exposed to sunlight in their first months in the summertime, they are more likely to be happy and have an optimistic outlook later, according to Foster. He calls this phenomenon seasonal interference. Celebrity birthday: J.K. Rowling

AUGUST: AUGUST BABIES ARE MORE LIKELY TO STRUGGLE IN SCHOOL.

They are 30 percent more likely than children born in September to be labeled as problem students by teachers, according to the U.K. Institute for Fiscal Studies. Theyre at a disadvantage because they tend to be the youngest kids in the class and have trouble keeping up. Because they dont succeed in school, theyre more likely to pursue a vocational career, like hairdressing. Celebrity birthday: Barack Obama

SEPTEMBER: THE HIGHEST SCHOOL ACHIEVERS TEND TO BE BORN IN SEPTEMBER BECAUSE THEYRE THE OLDEST IN THEIR CLASSES.
According to the same Institute for Fiscal Studies report, they are the most likely to go to college and pursue a professional career. Theyre at an unfair disadvantage because theyre the oldest in the class as children and mas ter new concepts more easily. Celebrity birthday: Charlie Sheen

OCTOBER: PEOPLE BORN IN OCTOBER LIVE THE LONGEST.

They live an average of 160 days longer than those born in the spring, according to a presentation at the UKs Cheltenham Science Festival. This is because they received the optimum amount of sunlight during pregnancy and early development. Celebrity birthday: Katy Perry

NOVEMBER: MORE SERIAL KILLERS ARE BORN THIS MONTH THAN ANY OTHER.
THEYRE ALSO KNOWN PESSIMISTS. SCIENTISTS IN A 2005 SWEDISH STUDY THEORIZED THIS IS BECAUSE THEYRE DEPRIVED OF DOPAMINE, THE HAPPY CHEMICAL THATS ALSO RELEASED WITH EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT, AFTER BIRTH. THE STUDY SURVEYED

30,000 PEOPLE ON HOW LUCKY THEY FELT, AND NOVEMBER BABIES RANKED THE LOWEST. CELEBRITY BIRTHDAY: RYAN GOSLING

DECEMBER: PEOPLE BORN IN THIS MONTH ARE MOST LIKELY TO HAVE ASTHMA OR ALLERGIES.
THIS COULD BE BECAUSE THEYRE BORN DURING PEAK COLD AND FLU SEASON, ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF RESPIRATORY AND CRITICAL CARE MEDICINE. GETTING A WINTER INFECTION IN THE FIRST FOUR MONTHS OF LIFE COULD CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE, THEY SAID. AND LACK OF SUNLIGHT IN THE FIRST MONTHS MAKES DECEMBER BABIES THE MOST LIKELY TO SUFFER FROM BIPOLAR DISORDER, EBERS SAID.
Celebrity birthday: Katie Holmes
