Hi All to be Moms
Be prepared if ur due date is close or passed just now...as
Full moon is near and it has been very old saying that in a month there are maximum no of births near full moon....some records even says that hospitals keep extra staff around full moon night.. So gud luck to all.
Even i have crossed my DD and a nurse told me to xpect labor soon as full moon is close.This happened at my last appnt on 10th itself
Here is the reason of getting labor pains during full moon night.*********
An excerpt from a link
*************************
The theory is that the moon's gravitational pull effects the amniotic fluid in much the same way as it effects the water in the sea, rivers and even the water that's otherwise found in our bodies.
As a woman's body prepares for natural childbirth, the amniotic sac becomes distended so the point where it will easily burst if put under pressure. Under normal circumstances, the pressure of labor contractions bursts the sac. During a full moon, the pressure caused by the moon's effect on the water inside the sac can cause the same things to happen, but without the accompanying contractions.
When this happens, natural childbirth doesn't always move forward and with no other signs of labor present, the obstetrician may decide to induce the birth.During my own study of this phenomenon I found that of 8 women whose births started with the water breaking at full moon, 5 of them had no accompanying contractions.
A coincidence? Perhaps. But surely midwives wouldn't prepare themselves for an increase in natural childbirth activity if there wasn't some truth in this?
One midwife told me that when it comes to planning childbirth, full moons should always be looked for around the time of the expected delivery. If there's one within a few days either side, the chances are your baby will be born on that day.
