Full moon baby?

[muddle78]

apparantly babies often come on a full moon. im 37 weeks and have had enough! there is a full moon on 2nd dec and im hoping this will prompt baby to make a move . Please share your stories with me about full moon arrivals or tell me to get a grip and not get my hopes up.

cpanda, now i dont feel such a loon how far are you?

I've just looked, none of my 3 were full moon babies - they were all natural no inductions etc.

Is there actually a link.

Good luck for when they do turn up.

According to midwives here, more babies are born on an incoming tide than an outgoing one...

Well with ds2 i was chatting to my friend on hte full moon, she was also pregnant. We had both heard teh full mon thing and commented on it as she was due. Sure enough went into labour that night.

Cue one month later and me now 37 weeks; anohter full moon...i commented on this to DH on phone (he was working away at te time). No signs of labour at all...went to bed at 11 pm. Woke up 45 mins later with contractions 3 mins apaart!!

So worked for me and my friend, but prob a coincidence...will keep my fingers crossed for you onthe 2nd though just in case

She went into labour the first time i mean.

thats really encouraging hairy thankyou!

Dd1 was born on a full moon (1.5 weeks early).

Fingers crossed for you.

Ooh, hope so, I'm due the 29th!

Gah. Am due 20th - next one after 2nd is 31st December.

When I had DC1 (full moon) there were so many people on the wards you could hardly move - I gave birth with, until the last half hour, only a student midwife telling me to let her know when I was about to crown . When DC1 started school, there were 5 in his year with birthdays over a two day period!

I've heard this too and am due on the 4th in an always overcrowded teaching hospital that tried to send me home without examining me when I was 7cm last time... torn between madly eating pineapple and drinking raspberry leaf tea for the next two days and crossing my legs and sitting very still till the due date!

My mw told me this when I was 36+6.
DS came on full moon at 37+5!
Full moon + mid September = jammed packed maternity ward!

oooh, i will be 37+5 on tues 2nd! im feeling very encouraged now

Interesting! I have just checked both ds birthdays and one was almost full moon the other was on a full moon! I was also born on a full moon! Check out this website and check yours.

Does that make you a weirwolf if you are born on a full moon??

I am a bit hairy at the moment lol! But put that down to raging pregnancy hormones............??? Hoooooooowwwwwwww!!!!

great site morethemerrier.. i was born on a full moon! even more encouraged now!!!

cpanda you will have to come back and tell me if you pop on the 2nd! i will def. be here wingeing if i don't

Now 40+3 and have had too many false starts during this last week. I'm tired, fat and frustrated .

I'm with you, funtime, I'm 41 weeks today and no signs despite full moon I even hoovered the stairs today in desperation, that's dedication to the cause!!

Just checked all 3 DCs and none were born on a full moon!

theres still time full moon still about i bet ladies at 40+ weeks will pop tonight

Oh please let that be true muddle! A major sense of humour failure is only more more false alarm away in my household .

LifeofKate - it's the kitchen and bathroom floor on hands and knees for me tomorrow is nothing shifts. Ds' birthday is on the 7th and I really don't want him to have to share his birthday with a sibling.
