September also is a months in which many births occur in Europe because 9 month earlier is December when people spend much time with their partners and indoor activities are more popular than outdoor activities.

9 months before September is December, most people take a lot of December off because of the holidays. It's also the end of the year when people reflect on their lives and what they may want to do next so I think it makes sense that a lot of people try for a baby around this time of year.
