Is it just an old wives tale?

hmmm it's all very interesting, I've been googling it too and there seems to be some relation to tides, our body & amniotic fluid etc.

Suppose I'll have to wait and see will update though when it all happens.

I just checked, and my DD was born one day before the full moon - with a spontaneous labour that began with my waters breaking... The birth suite was really full that night too.

Now I am hoping that this bubba #2 doesn't do the same thing, as the next full moon is Dec 31st... we're due around 11th Jan, and i really want to make it through Christmas and New Years first!!

how strange - ds was born on half moon - 2 weeks early!! and actually conceived on a half moon.
and this bub was conceived on a full moon. would be strange if it's born on a full as well! oh i just looked up and bub's due date is a full moon!

Prama - I had to go check, I O'd day of fullmoon......I remember commenting that it was early coz I get pain in my side when I do.

As we left a friends house after dinner, we were all standing outside commenting on the nice big full moon. About two hours after we got home I went into labour. Four other girls in my belly buddy group had their babies on the same day.

Most women used to give birth on full moons and high tides.

Now most give birth on a Tuesday (Monday inducation) or Thursday (induction before the weekend). Changing times, sigh.
