full moon

Anyone heard anything about there being more of a chance of water breaking during a full moon?  There is one on Tuesday, which would be great since I will be 41 weeks on Tuesday!  I read some things on the internet about the gravitational pull being more during a full moon, and that can affect the amniotic fluid.

that's what everyone keeps telling me... you're having this baby on Tuesday they say, it's a full moon... you'll see!

i don't care about what's in the sky at this pint, just want to have the baby already!

I've heard that  but my best friend works in the ER and she said that the full moon just brings in crazy people...now Thunderstorms also fill up the ER with laboring women.
