I'm not sure of the statistics, but the planned pregnencies that I know about have always been timed so that the third trimester is not in the summer. Usually the January to April timeframe.

Um... No. August traditionally has the highest rate of birth. (Pre Christmas spooning perhaps?)
A quick spot check
Vital Statistics of the United States 1945
Vital Statistics of the United States 1962 (also with data going back to 1953)
Monthly Vital Statistics Report; Vol. 26, No. 12 Supplement (3/29/78) *
National Vital Statistics Reports, Vol. 50, No. 5 (2/12/2002)
Each shows August having the highest birthrate.
That's what really made me wonder. I still think it's a plot!
*Edit: Added Statistics for 1976 (which interestingly show September as #1 and August as number 2) and typo.
