Ann: You may find out just about any health statistic that the US
collects by going to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) web
site at:
http://www.cdc.gov/nchswww/nchshome.htm.
I couldn't get there today because of internet traffic, but the rough
figure for number of births is 3.9 million (give or take a few hundred
thousand).
