Full moon=labor??

How many of you believe in this? I have had my family making bets on when I am going to have my baby. They have been saying since last month I was going to have her, well since they lost the bet, they are now saying its going to be on the full moon. I am beginning to think they are nuts... what do you think?

people say the darndest things. My bf's aunt swore I was going to go into labor two days ago because it was raining.... lol

my grandfather says the same thing...he thinks im going to have this lil man on friday night...it would be such a relief lol

I've heard from some nurses last time I was up in L&D most of their deliveries happen during holidays and full moons, so I'm guessing it is true.

there is actually some truth to that myth, but nothing i would set my watch to, if you get what i mean. but my mom works with a guy whoswife is a L&D nurse, and she said they over staff on full moons  

They actually did a study on the full moon thing. Turns out, people just have a tendency to remember more things happening (ER going nutts, women going into labor) than on any other day of the month. So you tech don't have any higher chance...who knows??

LOL I have a friend (who's on here actually) that had all 3 of her boys on the full moon!.....Makes you wonder!

mmm idk if i believe or not, i asked my doc about it when i was pregnant and he said that maybe it's true, he says that it seems that there are more women in labor/giving birth when there's full moon

i duno...weird things happen on full moons lol
my grandpa has twice as many seizures (he has epilepsy) when the moon is full..
and the expression "the crazies come out" on a full moon, is true too lol sooo who knows the pull from the moon probably can put women into labor..

good luck!

I agree... I dont think I should start the countdown... but I am sure my phone will be ringing off the wall Friday! UGH!

The full moon is suppose to be an influence on it. But really the baby will come when it's ready to. They said the same with me. And I was terrified to death that I was going to go into labor thanksgiving day. My due date was 7 days after that. But I didn't. Might sound silly but I sat down and talked to my little girl the day before her due date, because I was exhausted and ready to have her and hold her in my arms, not belly. And the next day I had her. hehe

I had my daughter the night of a full moon.

Someone said it has to do with the gravitational pull when there is a full moon, but I dont know..

You should make a baby pool for them to make their bets. I love mine. Try www.expectnet.com It's a lot of fun.
