Really clutching at straws but hoping that the next full moon might work its mystical magic and get my labour going (38+3)

can't remember feeling like this with DS but wanted to kick smething last night

I am so uncomfortable and really want to meet my baby.

is there any evidence that a full moon has an effect or is it mumbo jumbo?

waiting in hope......

not that i am becoming obsessive but have jsut found this from the bbc

There may be a connection between the Moon, love and sex. On average, the menstrual cycle for women is exactly the same duration as the lunar synodic month (29.5 days) and the human gestation period is exactly nine times the lunar synodic month (265.8 days). Furthermore, studies have found that there are more births during the full and new moon. Also, there are more male children born after the full moon and more female children are born after the new moon.
