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??
oooohhhh i hope its right!
yep its true kim!!! many women's waters break on a full moon, something about the graviational pull!!! goodluck,hope its your night!!!
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 :)
Its very true!! Lots of SROM we get busy on full moons!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck
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!
Im not getting my hopes up....but it does sound kinda cool!!!
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)?
I am indeed a Scorpio:
oooh thats even more exciting!
Seriously, things will happen when bumblebee is ready :) all will be good.
Yep ive heard its true too! Happened with me and DD. My waters broke that night and the hospital was going nuts with deliveries. Midwives even told me the same happens every full moon so tonight may be your night!
Best of luck!
Yep. Every time I'm in a hospital on a full moon it's always crazy busy.
It sure is true. Full moon and storms sent a maternity ward crazy!!!
I hope the full moon worked for you Kim!!!
Good luck Kim!!!! :hug:
Well I hope it worked for you!
Thats an interesting theory. I've never heard it & never taken the time to look up while on my way to hossy...
They were all nights though, so possibly!
I have heard midwives say that full moons are busy baby nights! Full moons also make the police busy LOL.
I hope the full moon worked for you Kim ;)
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!! :D
i think it was a full moon when i gave birth - how can i find out?
i hope it was it for you hun!!!
eta - nope, full moon was 2 days after matisse was born
Well......nope....it didnt work...all the full moon bought me was a 2 year old wide awake at 2am until 430am.....and a rather tired mummy today :(
aww, sorry to hear it wasn't your night kim!
I didn't work for me when ds was overdue.
