So are more babies really born when there's a full moon or not?

If so then I am very hopeful for tomorrow night! (which also happens to be my due date which I suppose shortens the odds slightly)

Had reflexology on Friday to try and kick-start things and she told me Tues night is the one for me because of the full moon.

But is that not a lot of bollocks?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I hope so! Also due tomorrow and just want it all over, no signs at all of impending labour but DC3 so still have my fingers crossed.

Have just gone with the flow and figured baby will come when ready, however also desperate to avoid induction as previous two were induced and would love to labour in water this time.

Fingers crossed for us!

hey good luck us! keep us posted Bree

Am hoping for a VBAC and also aiming to avoid induction. Can't tell you how sick I am of pineapple smoothies and raspberry leaf tea

I am being induced on the 10th but would love to go on my own before it.

the last full moon in june i had terribe pains so think there could be something connected.

will be interesting to see what happens and if anyone goes tomorrow :)

I'm 5 days over today and would dearly love for the full moon to kick things off before my sweep on Thursday. I don't want to be sat on this bloody ball any longer!

BreeVanDerTramp · 02/07/2012 19:15

I have just bought a ball ninja and am currently bouncing on it after a hot curry. I want to get this baby moving now!

NinjaChipmunk · 02/07/2012 21:51

Good luck bree I find my bottom goes slightly numb if I bounce for too long! Here's hoping the full moon affects our waters like it does the tides in the sea!

belindarose · 02/07/2012 21:54

Also hoping it's true! 40+3 and quite fed up now!

BreeVanDerTramp · 04/07/2012 20:32

Did the full moon produce any babies? Still nothing here at 40 + 1, getting fed up here!

NinjaChipmunk · 05/07/2012 13:37

Yep! I went into labour tues night and. gave birth to dd at 3.34am! We're just trying to work out breastfeeding between us.
Good luck!

BreeVanDerTramp · 05/07/2012 13:47

Congratulations ninja! Am still waiting but I suppose the end is in sight

Enjoy your newborn snuggles!

NinjaChipmunk · 05/07/2012 14:02
