Is it true that Pregant women usually go into labor on a full moon?

Yep. Full moon has a gravitational pull. It brings out the crazies, animals act funny and babies like to come into the world. It's also really good for fishing because the tides are high.

Many midwives and L&D doctors and nurses do notice it being a bit busier around full moon, but no, it's not like women USUALLY (as in MOST of them) pop during a full moon. Labour wards are filled every day of the month.

I just looked up the lunar phase when I went into labour (it was sudden and unexpected, starting with my waters breaking without ANY warning): it was a waning moon 20 days into the lunar cycle. So about a week after the full moon.

It was also mid-afternoon, although it actually IS true that it is more common to go into labour at night. That is because at night stress levels are lowest, and nature wants us to be in labour in a safe (and therefore stress free) environment. My husband and I were actually having a very nice relaxed afternoon on the couch, so I guess my stress levels were pretty low too even though it wasn't night.

While there's actually no scientific reason, anyone who works on an L&D floor or in the ER will tell you it's always crazier/busier at a full moon.

Do you really think no baby is born on a night there isn't a full moon?

Sure
