It’s almost exactly nine months to the beginning of the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, so guess what’s on the mind of young couples?

You guessed it! Let's get pregnant and have a baby timed to the opening ceremony.

After all, Aug. 8, 2008 at 8 p.m. is a resonant moment, given that Chinese believe that the number eight is lucky.

So listen to what some internet posters say about the subject on the Happy Marriage Community bulletin board.

Sugar: I wish I could have an Olympic baby next year. I think it would be very meaningful. But I’m worried that many other people have the same idea. If that happens, the number of pregnant women at the hospital will be so high. (Once an Olympic baby boom takes place) there will be more competition when the kids go to school and take exams.

Lisa-mouse: I read yesterday’s newspaper, which said there are many people who want to give birth to babies next year. It will be another baby boom.

Louise: I don’t know why so many people follow others. Don’t do things so intentionally.

Gigi5299: I will give birth to an Olympic baby

Dancing Red Demon: I really want to give birth but I really don’t know whether I can catch it on the right day.

illy80: I also want to give birth to an Olympic baby. But the next two years of astrological signs are ox and tiger. They are not good…

Sohu.com, one of China’s most popular portals, has a special webpage called Baby Bulletin. It explains a little about Olympic babies and also has some online postings.

MiaoMiao: May I ask, if I want to give birth on Aug. 8, when is the best time for me to get pregnant? My period is on the first day of each month.

Netizen: My old man and I also plan to have a baby – a healthy, lively, smart Olympic baby.
