    Question Full moons and Labour

    I just went outside to put the garbage out and noticed a huge moon (im not up with moon types) so came back and done a google search on the phases to discover its actually a full moon tonight.

    I then done some more reading and discovered ALOT of women seem to go into labour and deliver on this moon phase.

    Im sure its a myth.....but has anyone had this happen??

    I mentioned it to my midwives last full moon and they said that they get a birth spike when the pressure system drops, so from fine weather to rainy weather.

    I have heard of the full moon theroy heaps though so it can't just be a myth. I hope not for your sake anyway Kim

    Dunno Kim, ther are lots of loony theories that revolve around the full moon (pun intended ). I am sure now you are 3 days post edd so you have a great chance to blame the moon for things happening... time will tell I suppose

    Kim, i have been hearing this myth for as long as i can remember and it does seem to be true....lots of women go into labour when it's a full moon, so you might just be luck enough to be one of these...i guess only time will tell!

    This would come from the fact that the moon rules water/tides, and the human boy is 70-80% water.
    There is a lot of docuemtned evidence that animal behaviour changes erratically around the full moon as well, I've seen scentific films , time lapse videos etc on the topic.

    Im wondering if you are a water sign (cancer, pisces, scorpio)?
