JACKSONVILLE, FL -- It's only a date on a calendar. Or is it? Some First Coast moms-to-be aren't taking any chances.

"One of my patients had a C-section scheduled for June 6th and recently decided to change it because of the date," said Dr. Angela Martin an Ob/Gyn for New Horizons.

By now, most people realize that the numbers 6,6,6 together represent the mark of the beast or Antichrist. Scholars say the numbers are in the bible's book of Revelations. It could be why some expectant moms are a bit fearful.

There's no hysteria at this point, but at one local hospital where several little ones were scheduled to enter the world on 6/6/06, their families canceled and rescheduled.

"I think they had three planned for that day and now there's only one that's scheduled," said Martin.

Evil has helped push the bank accounts of many in Tinsel Town to new riches with movies like "The Omen." But in the land of those experiencing labor, wealth is all about health. First Coast moms want healthy babies born on any other day except 6/6/06.
