Human bodies have natural cycles which have been known to sync with the moon or other regular occurrences in the environment in which we live. These cycles affect everything from sleep patterns, menstruation, even psychological behavior. The are called circadian rhythms. Psychologist have been and are still studying these cycles in a number of different ways.

I don't know if it has anything to do with pregnancy but I know that emergency rooms sometimes get pretty busy when there's a full moon. I work in a veterinarian's office and we tend to come across a lot of strange people or situations around the full moon.

Full Moons affect humans in the same way it affects the tides.. We are made up of 90 odd% water... The word Lunatic derives from it , Luna ,as in Moon ,so a lunatic was a "nutcase" affected by the Moon .. It affects women monthly, being called , moon cycle , moon time , also here, if say 6 women live together,for a period of time their moon cycle will be almost synchronised, not in all cases , but yes in lot .. Pregnancy I would imagine a big yes as to it is still ruling your body and the little body inside.. I have a nurse in my Coven and she dreads a full moon at work as her work load is full of crazy events of the night.. Blessed Be

Old time logic: If the gravity of the moon can affect oceans and though we cannot stare at the sun, we do stare at it's height of reflection from the Moon. I do not see why the combination of unusual light at the normal time of darkness and a shift in gravity for a being floating within a miniature sea would not cause some reaction.

When my son was born (he's 4) there was a full moon, He dropped and the umbilical cord was too short, they gave my wife an instant "C-sect.", FAST, BTW the world record for "Hail Mary's" is 120 per minute, I was ripping them out as fast as a "Mini-Gun" on a Gunship. All turned out O.K. I remember going outside with the nurses to smoke a cigarette after the "Panic", and someone said "Look at that Moon" ! One of the nurses took his foot prints and wrote "Trouble from the start" on the print that was given to me, she said "We're all going home with a few more grey hairs after tonight", Jesus !.

TRUTH!!!
Police, ambulance, fireman, hospitals, psychiatric wards, prisons, you name it!
If the moon can affect the tides in the way that it does, and the human body is mostly water, it's gotta do something I guess!!!

The reason the ER's are full is that there are so many lunatics out around that time. They get "moonstruck" and act like they took stupid pills or something.

I think its true. The moon can pull on the fetus just like the tide...
