Royal Darwin Hospital has seen a record number of babies being born in March with 197 being delivered in the hospital.

Northern Territory Health Minister Kon Vatskalis says he does not know what is behind the baby boom but has a fair idea.
"I asked why and I was told it was a very cold July," he said.

"I don't know if it is true but it works out: July, March.
