At University Hospital in Örebro, 2,730 babies were born in 2025, marking a clear decline from previous years. July saw the most activity, while December was the quietest. This trend mirrors the national decrease in birth rates.
In 2025, a total of 2,730 babies were born at the maternity ward of University Hospital Örebro (USÖ). This represents 684 fewer births compared to 2021, according to an analysis by Nerikes Allehanda. The trend of declining births aligns with the national pattern, where the number of children is decreasing year by year.
July emerged as the month with the highest number of births, featuring peak activity for staff and expectant parents. December, in contrast, was notably quieter. The newspaper examined the past five years to identify peaks and troughs in the county's birth cohorts.
Erika Ahlberg Norén, the author of the report, highlights how these fluctuations impact hospital operations. The drop in birth rates raises questions about demographic shifts in the region, though exact monthly figures for 2025 are not detailed in the analysis.
