I am 36 wks along and my due date is dec-16-06, my husband's aunt keeps telling me i won't make it past dec-5-06 because we are having a full moon that night and that will increase my chances of delivery...is there any truth to this? has anyone actually had an early delivery on a full moon? even thought it wouldnt be so early i'd be 38 wks then so i am kinda hoping is true..lol

I know the phases of moon affect births, among other things, in animals. I can certainly see where this might be true but there are a lot of variables when dealing with human's.

Don't count it out!
All of the bodily fluids speed up during the Full Moon, especially the lymphatic system...
If you check the time and day you were born (naturally), the odds are, it was either a Full Moon, or during a New Moon...

It is true. Nearly any labor and delivery floor in a hospital will tell you that they have an increase in births when there is a full moon.

My Grand Mother always said you have to be pregnant for 9 full moons.

no. It's all chance. I was 2 weeks past my due date when we had a full moon. No luck!

No, babe, that's just stupid superstition. Don't believe in that crap, it's chance, your baby will show his/her face when he/she's good and ready to. That's just old wive's tales and they just don't happen, darl. The moon can affect the tides and does, but pregancies? Give me a break!
Good luck and congrats.
