Actually there is some science between the full moons, solar eclipse and all of those things! Its not so much of not touching things but dont stress your body out the day before or after. This is relevant to pregnant women and animals! Its the pressure in the atmosphere that can cause animals amd humans to go into active labor. And lots of time after the event it's the dramatic change from the atmosphere going from high to low the. back to high that causes the body to react hormonally and chemically.

Lots of women have babies on full moons and eclipse.  Most of the time hospitals will have more staff as well because mental patients also are at a high for causing more damage to themselves or others. I know that because my ex step mother worked for a hospital and on full moons and eclipse they had full staff. My cousin who worked for the emergency room also had more ppl working on nights like that.


You dont have to avoid anything than overly exerting your body. :) youll be fine. In your pregnancy you've already gone through full moons and that one night where the moon was as close to the earth as it'll be for I think 20 years.
