My mum is a midwife and for years has commented on the link of full moons and women going into labour. She's always said "it's a full moon, tonight will be busy" and she'd be right

According to her theory (and it is just her theory) she believes it has something to do with the gravitational pull at that time and it affects a woman's water.......BUT she did say that it only seems to help give those a nudge that are extremely close to going on their own.....
