Full moons and Labour

[Curly]

I'm not sure if this counts but I had my OB appointment on the afternoon of which I think was full moon (I'd heard this theory and looked on the calendar to see where DD's due date was in relation to the full moon). She wasn't due for another 2 days and OB expected me to run over because that's what happened with DS.

Anyway, OB said that the hospital was empty so if I wanted a private room now would be a good time to go into labour LOL!

Next morning I was in labour, gave birth to DD that afternoon. There were only 2 women there including me when I arrived but when I was cuddling DD they told me that they weren't going to hurry me up...but...6 other women had come in since me and the delivery suite was full up!

When I worked in a mental health intake centre, we used to roster on an extra worker if it was a full moon, because we would always get an influx of patients, especially schizophrenics and bi-polar disorders. Bizzarre!

Anyways, good luck Kimbaz!!
