You might think younger generations might not care about these age-old superstitions, but we’ve seen a different story unfold. A surprising number of Asian couples, particularly from the Bay Area and even across Asia, have been flocking to fertility clinics, eager to have their very own Dragon baby!
And guess what? This isn’t just happening here. Across the country, fertility centers are noticing similar trends, especially in areas with significant Asian populations. In places like Hong Kong and major cities in China, maternity wards are already filling up with expectant mothers wanting to deliver before the Dragon Year ends. Some are actually worried about not having a hospital bed when their time comes!
At our clinic, we’ve treated several patients grappling with infertility, but many are motivated by the desire to connect with their cultural heritage and the hope of capturing the good luck that comes with being born in the Year of the Dragon. This urgency may be a bit of a mystery to our mostly Western staff, but we’ve worked hard to become more culturally attuned and supportive.
Celebrating Cultural Pride
Speaking of cultural pride, here’s a little poem that captures the essence of being a descendant of the Dragon:
“There is a Dragon in the Ancient East,
Her name is China.
There is a group of people in the Ancient East,
They are all descendants of the Dragon.”
