Labor starting on a full moon???

So anyone have any opinions on labor starting during full moon cycles?

My water broke with my daughter and she was born a day before a full moon when i was 36 weeks.

We have a full moon on the 19th... maybe baby boy will arrive soon??

There are not full blown studies showing any of this but hospitals do staff more on the maternity ward during full moons. Some suggest that many women experience more braxton hicks making them think they are in labor and they go to the hospital only to come back home.

I have tried finding some more articles but cant find any scientific proof. I have seen several polls and many women believe full moons have helped them go into labor.

So did you have your baby during a full moon? Any other thoughts? Myth or fact?

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program.

The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

About this Bible: The Christian faith is founded upon an unchanging and unceasing confession: that “Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:11).
