Full Moon

[lizzybrodsky]

So November 6th is the next full moon and I know theres a thing where most babies are born on full moons. My mom is convinced I am going to go into labor the next full moon. I am 37 weeks 5 days and I am already 2cm dilated and 80% effaced. Also been losing my mucous plug all week since I got checked on Tuesday. Do you ladies think I will have my baby boy soon?

Yeah and I'm a cancer so the moon rules my sign so we'll see how it works out. :)

Oh man. Lol Well wish me luck then. Lol

My midwife said full moons are busy for her.  So did a local emergency psychiatrist! It is anecdotal of course. Maybe we are more affected by the position of the moon than we know.

The maternity ward is very busy on a full moon, just women tend to go into labour on a full moon. I've known maternity wards to close on a full moon as there is not enough room for everyone

So what does a full moon mean?

I've never heard such a thing.

I'm due on the 6th I've known for a few months that it's a full moon. Everyone I've said it's a full moon on my due date so I might go into labour then look at me funny as if to say what are you on about.
