Full moon effecting birth

So I'm 37 weeks & 2 days. My mom thinks that I'll be giving birth sometime this week because of a full moon. I went to the doc on Monday and he said I was 1 cm. Has any one else heard of that? I hope it's true because I'm really tired and can barely walk. I started walking to try and help start my labor and help me dialate.

I work in the hospital as a nurse on the cardiac unit and its always crazy around the full moon. The nurses in L&D said it is always very busy around the full moon. So let's keep our fingers crossed ladies and keep walking and bouncing. Lol
